this could be you..

 

i like the look

this is my lid, are those the Barstows? i checked those out, i likee

 

nah im not that cool

 

me neither, just don't tell anyone

 

the matte blue flake one would have been perfect for me!

 

probably what I look like.. but I dont wear my A* jacket..

 

my typical riding fashion/lack there of. except for the change of helmet.



and with the ktm

 

Those goofy half face helmets are way too hipster IMO...

I prefer "vintage look"

 

Question for you guys. I'm strapping my s1000rr down in the bed. I also have a 125cc pit bike.

How should I strap that down in the bed as well? Traveling 12 hours so would like it secured well

 

Bullitt, not really open face, not really full face. Can be had with a bubble visor for extra vintage.

 

I actually wanted one of these but it doesn't really fit the look of my bike

 

i know, i know, safety first, function over form etc. etc....

 

Looks like that exhaust is set up for an 18mm wideband O2 sensor, usually exhausts come with an adapter for the 12mm stock narrowbands. I'd check with V&H, they might sell an adapter separately.

 

the exhaust pictured was not V&H. I got it from ebay for $82. I went back to the page, and it showed only fitting 07-14. So I guess my bad? Still want my $ back from the seller.

Anyways, ordered the V&H big radius for 2015-2018+. I guess Harley decided to change their o2 sensors in 2015 to the tiny ones.

 

the same way you do the s1k

i do all my bikes the same. loops around the handlebars to the front hooks in the bed. bikes facing forward

 

I never loaded two bikes before always one. You got a pic of your vehicle loaded with two bikes so I can get a idea

 

best i got. just put one the far left and one to the far right

 

i may be looking to upgrade from the zx10.
looking at 1290 superduke but finding it harder to invest in ICEs.
also considering electric like zero dsr but electric is still growing, currently limited by longer charge times and limited range, IMO.

penny for your thoughts?

 

Two of my open face helmets are vintage. One is new and one is “novelty”. My favorite one is actually a vintage US Navy issued helmet that was used for the deck crew on an aircraft carrier. I painted it metal flake red, but masked off the Dept of Navy logo. Sadly that’s the one I had my accident with too.
I also have a Fuller open face that I had pinstriped by a local dude at a show. Dig it but the Fuller helmets had too much padding and always made me feel like a bobble head.
