81' Honda NC50 exhaust clogged?

One if my 81' NC50's randomly has a loss of power and im leaning towards exhaust but wanted to check in here.

It idles and runs fine on the center stand, then theres barely any power when trying to ride it, topping out at 16mph.

Dellorto SHA 15.15 carb that Ive verified is clean. Running high flow air filter. Oil pump and auto choke deleted.

Brokerage or increase 457b

Should I bother with starting a separate brokerage account or just increase my pre tax 457b?

32m with $122k in 403b and $34k in 457b. 403b is all work benefit since they contribute 12% on my behalf, and I couldn't reasonably max my 457b as the limit is $24.5k annually but I certainly can increase my contribution.

Eligible Nov 28' - how to prepare

Im eligible for PSLF in November 2028, but I do need to buy back a few months since I was on SAVE. I wasn't aware the buyback processing takes so long.

Is there anything I can do now to help speed up the process? Do I need to wait until Im eligible for forgiveness to apply for buybacks?

New interior

My moms 67' Bug needs a new interior. We're thinking about getting the full kit from jbugs and installing ourselves. Has anyone gone this route, and how difficult is it?

Any tips appreciated

32M and 33F - ~120k HHI that will be closer to 180k in a couple years when my wife returns to work full time in a couple of years.

We have around $250k between investment accounts, 150k in equity on our home that we owe 150k on at 3% interest, $65k savings in HYSA. We contribute about 22% to our retirement accounts and I am considering starting a separate Roth for additional investments.

I'd also like to save up to buy another house so we can keep our current home as a rental property that we can sell when we're closer to retirement. Hoping to save up another $60k before we do this.

We would like to FIRE by 55. Are we on the right track? Any tips appreciated.

Edit: forgot to mention we have 2 kids, which is the main reason we'll need a bigger house

+6" forks on my 07' Nightster

Finally pulled the trigger and rebuilt my forks with +6" tubes and progressive HD springs. So happy with it and I can finally cruise comfortably at highways speeds 😅

Spinning caliper bolt

My caliper bolt is now stuck, I have tried holding both the pin itself and the washer thing. It is free spinning and I am able to do it with just my hand. I can not fit a flat head to pry the bolt. Any tips?

Mazda Mazda 2 2011

Edit: I know how to hold a ratchet lmao I was just trying to make it so it was visible on camera

Edit 2: I got that shit off. Hit me up if you want your brakes done.

Most of you were as useless as the condoms your parents used the night you were conceived. I hope every single one of you strips a bolt next time you work on a car.
