Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

I might take a stab at making my own seat. I have some real supple leather that would break in nice. I have a few hides right now and am probably going to make my own saddle bag. I want something more like a messenger bag for work items (files, laptop). Prefer it to lay flat against the bike as much as possible.

 

For Iron Butt riders and the long distance crowd there are only a handful of names making seats for folks that want to log those kinds of mileage. Laam is one of the newer ones. Our seats might not look as attractive but when you're talking about doing multiple 1000 mile days in a row the looks are secondary to the comfort.

 

Woulda been a great picture if you had pushed that other bike out of frame

 

Where to?

 

My death trap...'02 Bandit 1200. Solo'd, HoleShot carb jets, 5 degree timing advance, Renthal bars. The seat cowl is the rear half of a Victory Cross Country gas tank.
My other 2-wheel ride is a slow, fat '05 Suzuki C90 (VL1500), don't have any recent pictures of it.

 

I signed up for the DGR again this year - it's Sunday, September 27th. They're not doing group rides because of covid but still a good cause to take part in and donate to.

Last year's video of the Philly ride, I make a brief appearance @4:53 :

 

Found some dirt today..

 

Parents have a pretty big house. Moving in until my job becomes more secure and to help get that last little bit of $ for a down payment on our first home. I work as regional general manager in the restaurant industry. My faicnee does the same. If COVID comes back in full force, we will lose everything this time around.

 

Wishing you guys good luck. I've been fortunate so far but can't imagine the stress.

 

Thanks brotha. It’s appreciated

 

Good luck with us having Gavin dumbfuck as our gov. Hopefully the idiot quits shutting everything down so you guys don’t get fucked. Although if you lose your job then you can go ride with me on weekends

when youre looking for truck parts, and you go to a site a hover for a few seconds and a window pops up asking if you want to save 20% by entering your email?

Anyone have one of these sites for bike parts?

or

Whats your favorite site to shop (besides Revzilla) ?

 

Here’s a few I like

https://motomummy.com/

https://www.ridersdiscount.com/

https://www.sportbiketrackgear.com/

 

I rode the Ninja around the Southside of Pittsburgh after work today, learned some new roads and had fun.

Go scoot!

 

I forgot about motomummy.com. Thanks!

Ill check out the others too. Mainly looking for a discount on the exhaust. If I can get it under $499, Ill order it. Also, I want to get some rear axle sliders/stand adapter things . I like OES, but Im sure there are others out there. Some things you dont want to get cheap

 

Get Lowered.

I have very low faith that my tank bag will get here by saturday. I hope ebay gives me my $ back, and then I still get it. tracking still not updated

 

I also found www.motostarz.com

But I guess no one is having any sales right now I will wait for my exhaust.

Side note: I did 40 miles today. Bringing the total to 260. Getting closer to that 621 miles, and then I can open her up!

 

JP Cycle is basically Revzilla with a different website. Parent company Comoto bought them out a year or two ago.

I doubt they have scrambler parts, but I’m on cognitomoto.com at least once a week dreaming about conversion parts for the CB.
