It's not lowered anymore thank you very much. Just has a low seat and 17's

Didn't you put rim tape on your bike Brent? Or was that spoke skins?

 

Spoke skins. Never again.

 

What's the seat height

 

About 33" IIRC.

 

So jelly. Always wanted a Z4 M Coupe.

 

Why never again?

 

That's about 30"too tall for me

 

Yup. I looked at a kids dirt bike that was in my local shop for work. Under the spoke skins was so much moisture and mud that the spokes started to rust horribly. #notforme

 

See above

 

Its a vert

 

Because putting them on 17" wheel spokes sucked. My spokes were super tight making it nearly impossible to get them on. Larger wheels might be easier by having more give due to longer spokes

Hmm, good point. My spokes still look fine. Plus they've never really seen mud but once or twice.

 

That better not be a frowny face

 

I may or may not be doing stupidly reflective gold rim tape

 

Oh but it is.

 

That's true with the 17s, i only put them on my road set just to keep the mud out.

 

Haters gone hate

 

As long as you like it.

 

Doing cosmetic stuff trying to modernize it. Replaced blinkers, smoked the tail light a little, and made a eyelid type thing. Not too sure if I like the lines of the eyelid however but it does look like the 08 KLR and 08 ninja 250.

With the LEDs they hyper flash and do not have a day time running function. To make them day time run should I connect the power wire to both the daytime running and blinker with a diode? Then also put in a resistor as well?
