Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

That's awesome! I might have to look into getting one of those, would be very useful when removing the front wheel and a small scissor jack underneath won't work.

 

Luckily I had a buddy who got out of racing bikes and sold that front one to me for like $80.

 

I like those ones better myself as it lifts the whole front end so it unloads the wheel. FZ-07 the exhaust runs low so I can't use a regular lift or jack.

 

Well I looked at a CBR300r today and absolutely hated it. Instead Ive fallen in love with the Cb300f. Perfect bike for me!

 

I have a brand new Skwoosh gel pad with sheepskin if anyone is interested. Wife didn't like it on her BMW. Used one ride. PM me any questions. Would like to at least recover $50 for it. Paid $79 plus shipping.

 

Beautiful day cruised some of my favorite backroads

 

Using a hero 7 black with hyper smooth?

 

No spark for a few weeks on the Supermoto. Tested everything, strangely am still getting a reading on stator so didn't look too into it. Last ditch effort I pulled the case. Stator was sitting inside flywheel (not bolted down to case like it should be), so it shredded magnets on inside of flywheel, broke the case where the bolt sheared off and obviously destroyed stator. Have no idea why bolt sheared off. Of course they don't make these parts anymore and on backorder.

If anyone has a steel frame WR450F parts bike let me know lol.

Thank god I still got the FZ-07. Really need to get the WR sold so I get can a full on offroad 2 stroke. I'm a 2 stroke addict and suffering heavily atm. Been stalking Banshee ads all week.

 

Yikes dude that sucks! I agree on the 2 stroke thing. Last dirtbike I had was a CR 500, long long ago, I got to ride a CR500 supermoto at the track a few years ago, it was insane. 1st and 2nd gear were almost useless unless you wanted to be looking at the sky.

 

Damn bummer. WRs are solid bikes. I have a yz450f, its a handful in supermoto or the woods.

Never ridden a 2 stroke

 

Yes, I really like that camera.

 

New helmet!

 

I didn't know you Harley guys used full faces

Nice helmet, very Iconish. I initially thought the price was a bit much but it is full carbon and I'm Japanese so those Graphics were sick. Clasp system seems pretty easy to use, would be interested to see how it does in a crash. Looking forward to hearing how it balances airflow with quietness, especially down here in the South I often use a dirtbike helmet for airflow but its soo frickin loud. Would love to see drop down sun visors on future models. Decent price on the bluetooth if you didn't have it yet.

Finally starting to warm up (and hopefully dry up)

 

So it's not just me who is feeling like I was moved to Seattle suddenly? We've had continuous rain since mid-April.

 

Not just you haha. It's been mostly rain or overcast with one day a week of reprieve

 

Well, they did the chip seal today. This sucks. Hard to tell there’s a highway under there.

 

Haha, yeah not many H-D riders wear full face, but there's a few of us out there that do.

Funny that you mention Icon b/c it was one of the only brands I could think of that really offer some cool / decent graphics. I'm just not a fan of Icon quality, I've heard so many stories about their QC and them degrading after only a year of use (glue from padding / inside helmet usually,) when helmets are supposed to last longer than that.

The clasp Fidlock system is great, very quick and easy. I've pulled on it as hard as I could from every angle and it doesn't let go. It only lets go if you grab that red tab and pull away. Definitely interestingly engineered and well done from what I can see. Heading for my first ride with it this evening once traffic dies down a bit and recording my thoughts and feedback. Hoping for some good results!

Side note: Worked out a discount with the company if anyone is interested in any of their motorcycle helmets. Discount code is 'BLOCKHEAD'

Liking that Street Bob paint (left,) looks great!

 

I greatly dislike this.
