Chris, Your v3 Upper triple clamp photo looks ideal.

Using images that are relatively close to that image's dimensions and with 72 dpi, you can successfully post several images in one posting. Doing so is a great help for others using the forum's "Search" feature.

Ah... a 32 year old computer, you say?  :D

Both your recent pics now "fit" the R65 forum views w/o having to scroll up n' down and side to side. Having to do that is, for me, a PITA and I usually skip those posted images.

DPI is a resolution of the image and your question depends on your method of photography. With a digi camera, you can choose the resolution for your photos... Usually low-medium-high. Hi-Res takes lots of memory space and creates the blow-out snaps that occasionally show up on the forum. Kinda like typing your message in all caps=SCREAMING.

Prior to posting on a forum, I first run all my photos through my Mac's Photoshop Elements program for cropping, image quality and size. That's when I will select image dimensions and dpi for web posts.

If you're using a phone for the photos... you're on your own, amigo! Only time I might carry my vintage "flip phone" is on a longer BMW road trip. No pics, no text, no problem.

Have I mentioned recently that I'm a card-carrying Luddite? ::)

Monte,

I used Microsoft Paint to re-size the images after taking them with an Iphone 5. My IT expert children were frankly useless during the whole process and Google came to my rescue...

never mind the photo, I'd like to know what he painted it with. I am rebuilding an R65 that has been exposed to salt environment for 19 odd years it has been "sleeping". Every bit of alloy needs to be painted.
