Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

The only things that I want to add to mine are a side bag, maybe new pegs, and a LED headlight. And maybe ill spring for a quad lock phone mount when I get a new phone.

Check these out. Life saver and you dont need to worry about the stupid tiny circlips from Harley anymore. @grdgz97 they will help you too!

Man... I wish my pipes from TBR.. were ready that quick... 3 week lead time.


bike looks so good. How do they sound ?

 

My phone is charged. Who keeps their phone at 100% all the time? That’s bafoonery

 

Interesting read. I put one on my bike solely for function - a backrest for my wife and the luggage rack to haul stuff.

 

mine will get to 30% and then i start to worry or find a wall plug

 

Yeah, I was surprised. Ordered Tuesday, get both my pipes and my fender eliminator kit today installed. They sound great, really opens up the V-twin

 

Does anyone load their bikes on the truck? I'm worried about the tailgate warping. The SV650 is about 430lbs wet.

 

Your tailgate will be fine.

KTM Superduke 1290 on the back

 

You’ll be fine... but you can buy a tailgate reinforcement plate if you’re looking for extra strength and peace of mind.

And for those of you with older trucks - make sure to periodically check/replace the support cables because they rust out over time. One day I was loading a quad into my old ‘97 Tacoma and while standing on the tailgate and pulling the front end up and in one of the cables snapped.

Long video, good info. @MagtechPA

Great video, thanks!

My MSF instructor told me about the MC Rider channel during our first range day. It’s all great advice that clearly comes from years of experience.

To his point, there are a TON of videos on YT where the host gives horrible advice - usually it’s the young guns who are just hungry for fame and subscribers, and not all that experienced as motorcycle riders.

I’ve learned which channels to follow and which ones to avoid.

 

@MagtechPA like Fooligan?

 

I don’t think I’ve seen any of his stuff.

I used to watch stuff from DanDantheFireman but his livestream videos are unwatchable... it’s 25% instructional content and 75% of him pushing people to like and subscribe. My time is too valuable for that nonsense.

 

Fooligan is 1000% BS, but its fun. 0% instructions

 

I honestly cant stand vloggers for the most part.

I watch dirtbike test and some random videos from like everide or every single sunday or a few others but nothing i actually follow

 

This!

I watched a ton of his early videos if you will. Had good instructional stuff then.

I kinda take what I like or resonates with me from a bunch of them.

 

One of the best investments I made was this motorcycle lift. It’s a Handy SAM 1200. Not getting any younger and this saves my back!

I also got the bike tuned recently. Pretty happy with the results considering she has 20K miles on the clock
