Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

I was just looking at those today. Newer version of my current triple.

 

Just picked this up today. On sale or $159 from $179. Inside Track gets you another 20% off.

 

Thats the exact same as my old craftsman one for less money. Been a decent jack but some shit has broken...

 

Been pretty happy with my Pittsburg jacks. This’ll be my third one. The key is to refill the hydraulic fluid on occasion.

Doing wheel bearings this weekend and rebuilding the forks so I wanted something to keep the bike up. I might make extended width pads for the jack so it’s a little more stable at height.

 

Don’t rip the lock lever handle off like i did either. Be gentle with it

 

Same motor as the Daytona, I'd pass. Liter bike was my second bike, first was a ninja 500 I'm actually making the primary again. I shouldn't have ever stopped riding that thing.

 

Didn't want to suggest a Speed Triple 1050 as your first bike, but ok.

 

so many cool bikes and now you have a fucking harley

 

when you see it in person, it is cool

 

I am not a fan of the paint on the tank, I would go with gold flake myself... but the HD wheelie scene has made me kinda dig these things and I was and still kinda am a staunch basher of the american HD

out of all the colors offered this year, I think this is the best color. I tried to get the red denim, but the dealer couldnt find one with the options that I wanted. (and in the end, got the one with all of the options that I didnt want , but at the price of the non optioned one)

Red denim:


dark cherry:


black:


flake silver:


and denim blue (limited 115th anniversary color) :

 

the silver flake is nice

getting a spare tank and doing some diy paint job could be a fun project

and helps keep any scratches off the factory painted tank

 

I love the yellow tank.

 

agreed that bike looks great

 

@AR15xAR10 doesnt like it when I say Im getting a skid plate..

But what are your thoughts on this? I love this exhaust and there is a set on ebay right now.. Im thinking about it. I already bought a 2" tank lift, coil pack relocate, and upgraded plug wires-black with blue highlights (to continue blue theme). Didnt need to relocate the ignition, because its keyless. I also got RSD foot pegs and grips off of craigslist. Picking those up tonight. And picking up a solo saddle bag on wednesday.

Next will probably be some Biltwell Frisco bars and an intake a ECU fuel tuner. Then exhaust.

 

lol leg burning twitchy little bars

 

no, no.. not those bars
