Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

i actually was looking at those for the motard. in the video they look so easy

 

Why was it so bad? Mine were easy

 

just some constructive feedback from years working at a large automotive retailing site, make the motorcycle the star of the photographs. it can make any bike look like it's worth more:

and i always had the best luck on craigslist

 

My spokes were super tight.

 

i used a screw drivers to open them up slightly and that made it a lot easier

 

Unabiker rad guard hits that hard line dead on

 

I'm not seeing an issue

 

The hole for the guard is right up against that hard line. The mounting screw won't fit and if i forced it the bolt would wear through that oil line after a while

 

Got the new tires on the bike today. There will be much thrashing.

 

Zip tie it out of the way

 

So what would you add or change? Am I priced to high?

 

Just check out that link on how they do their photos. Get up close, less background the better, show everything, put the best angles first. It's like a commercial, you gotta rope people in quickly

 

Its a hard line, it wouldn't move at all

 

Cut it off.

I was wanting to try them until i saw a bike at the shop with horridly rusted spokes from the moisture being held to them by the spoke skins

 

You could always lower it an inch with a lowering link.... Just a thought

 

When I was installing the spoke skins I also found out that my rear sprocket was loose.... Glad I caught it before it ended badly.

Went ahead and put the 40T back on so it's not so wound up above 60mph.

 

One nice thing bout having a second complete set of wheels and tires, i have the shinko 705's with a smaller sprocket for road use

 

I have two sets of wheels as well. One for off road and the 17's for street.

Swapping a sprocket is still easier than swapping sets of wheels.

 

for your dr-s guys
