Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

Haven’t considered much right now in terms of mods/upgrades. Forward controls for sure for comfort but nothing else. Just enjoying the learning and all for now.

 

You should be able to adjust your stock rear shocks for preload. That’ll make a huge difference in ride comfort and you don’t have to buy anything but the correct spanner (unless you can get creative with tools on hand).

 

Its pretty warm today. I might go for a ride

 

Got some publication in the mail from HD. IMO, I dont like the bars inline with the forks. I like mine vertical (more like the blue line)

 

Wind is the worst. Blasting across montana on I-90 doing 85-90 mph getting blown almost out of the lane by crosswinds.

 

agreed.

But I thought you and @uhplifted were tall and lanky? Or just he is?

 

Any PW50 owners in here? Trying to learn my way around it for my little dude. 2018 with 8 hours, and local to me. I had no idea these little fuckers could rip and hold their value so well! With two little guys I’m sure it will be well loved

 

@uurx likes 50s. But probably for a different reason

 

Doesn't that make for a much stiffer ride? That's the thought process with bicycles, anyway.

This is my ride.

 

We both are. Im 6’1”, I think he’s like 6’5” or something like that.

I was saying that people with a shorter reach need their bars pulled back more.

 

those are great learning bikes, they are shaft driven so the chances of chopping a finger off in the sprocket is removed...
they are pretty reliable and they are two stroke so a little tinkering and they can scoot rather well.

hi buddy

 

I don't think its stiffer. Not changing the suspension at all. Just where your hands are.

i used to have a 2014 FZ09. Fun bike!

 

Here’s my Zero MMX. Rocket!

 

Love everything about that except those crashbars, those stick out so far.

 

They are a little wide agree. They came from the factory that way, I ordered them in hopes of a viable mounting spot for some aux lights. The only thing I’ve done So far is added those mirrors and a phone holder plus swapped the dirt bike tires to a 80/20. Been pretty fun. Need to add blinkers but have no idea how to do that

 

You can buy a kit. It’s pretty easy. I did them on my dirtbike

 

Great thread! Can't believe I just found it! My second wife:

 

my gf often tells me i care more about the toys than i do her...

so i tell her she is silly trying to compare my love for her with my love for inanimate objects...

 

now here is some living room decor I can get down with.

what a beaut !!!!
