Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

Yeah I have heard of Sena before for their comms but pretty much at a name level. I don't intend to use their video products currently but really liking their audio side from the looks of it. Who did you hear the poor review from? Any specific area they lack quality in?

Was busy yesterday and couldn't spend much time to research other than skimming the Sena site. I do like how they integrate with GoPro well/directly for their audio along with comms in the recording along with the feature of group talk with claimed very acceptable distances (600-900 meters depending on device and enviroment).

What I still need to do is find out the actual size of the units to see if it'll even fit inside a full face helmet or if they only do brain buckets lol.

 

I've decide on a chain and sprocket set:

Supersprox 15t front, 45t rear, gold/black 120 link DID 520 VX2 Xring chain

 

Size of Sena Bluetooth units? They're designed to fit in full face helmets. My Shoei even comes with little cutouts to put speakers in so they're aren't so tight on your ears.

Woot that's music to my ears!

 

Picked this little guy up today. Runs great. Will be a fun little clean up and sell project to help fund my cafe build that has stalled out.

 

cool what year is this and what is your cafe? i had a 74 CB350 for a couple months, before I learned that carbs were to difficult for me lol

 

Lol. This is a 79 GT80 and my cafe build is a 75 CB360t. For the 360 the engine is ready to go but I need rear sets, frame powder coated, seat pan and seat, new wiring, tires, tubes and throttle and clutch cables. I'm hoping I can reuse the stock cables but we will see. I have a lot of new parts from Dime City and various other vendors. Hopefully the resale of this little 80 will give me enough for rear sets and I can at least slap some rattle can on the frame, mount the motor and fire her up. I rebuilt the carbs but they leak really bad so I might splurge for Mikuni's at some point. There is a link in my sig to the build on Do the Ton

 

Oh yea, carbs.....I dislike them also....

 

Nice! i was on there too, but didnt get much feedback. Looks like you have some work to do. Mine was kick start only. I think your 360 and my 350 look very similar.

Im young.. I wanted that cool factor when I pull up to the bars, and I had it. But then when the kick didnt work one day, I got frustrated. I now like to be able to go to my bike anytime, and be able to hit the starter, and I know it will turn on (unless there is some other issue, but not the carbs)

Anyways, here was mine:

 

Typical day for me at work...
I was set on a supermoto.. Then I found an old picture of my Nightster.. Now Id like another. But then I saw a picture of a badass Softail Deluxe, and I want one of those. Then I remembered my FZ09 is 400lbs, 130hp, and everyone says its a wheelie monster (wonder why I cant wheelie yet). Then I browse youtube and I see some videos about hard enduro. I need one of those too. Wheelies across some fields and jumping rocks and trails. Then I remember I dont have any of that near me. There goes that idea, and Im back to square one.

Then I find other threads on TW to drool over for a few hours, and add things to my wish list that I dont need haha

 

Supermoto! Haha. Keep the fz as the street bike.

A lot of wheelies come down to the rider. Some of the guys here ride wheelies for days on a 100% stock drz. I couldn't ever do that, but they are actual stunt riders

 

Oh man she's gorgeous! Feedback is an issue for sure on there. Tacomaworld has ruined me. Feedback here in 30 seconds or less. Any other forum it could take days if not weeks. I had the opposite issue with my starter. It wouldn't start the bike at all. I fooled with it, tried time and time again. Finally I said to hell with it, saddled up and in the second kick she came to life. I was stoked!

 

This forum is awesome with how many people are on it and some knowledgeable ones at that. There's only been one other forum that I've been on that seemed as active as this one.

 

Yea it is awesome here! So much information. Destiny, Bikes, Mountain Bikes, Xbox, AR's, Plastic Models, GoPro's, Drones, The Division etc. etc. not just Taco's. That's one of the things that makes it so great! It's like a second Google Search engine haha!

 

Anyone have any opinions or recommendations for Yamaha TW200s?

 

Why would you want one of those?

 

Because cheaper and more capable than a grom.

Just ordered the chain and sprockets for my DRZ:
15tooth supersprox
45tooth supersprox gold
DID 520 VX2 Xring 120 link chain gold/black

 

My pops bought one dirt cheap with 500 miles, never even been serviced

Its a blast. Completely gutless after getting off the DRZ but still fun as all hell

 

My 2 wheel toy. 2008 KTM 200 XC-W with rekluse clutch.

 

I like that stand. What the 411 on that?
