Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

Prime day lights came in and I’m trying to figure out where I want to mount them. To me this spot where my 3pc crash bars bolt together on either side makes a whole lot of sense, but i’m not sold. Where do y’all have yours mounted at? I have a set of pipe mount clamp things to mount them anywhere on the crash bar tubing, too.

 

Shooooot, this is a look and a half though. I have a feeling I know what @w.adventures will vote for haha

 

looks good man i want to make a mount on my klx to mount some amber lights for fog lights like that

 

Although it is older and has higher mileage, I'd rather have this superduke - https://tricities.craigslist.org/mcy/d/elizabethton-ktm-superduke/7508588684.html

 

@Gunshot-6A

 

maaan thats nice one day ill have one

 

pulled that from the AT forums. Guy put different wheels on. 17R/19F. Looks good, but not for me. I like that mine looks like a big dirt bike

still want to get a couple more things this year, then ill be done

 

Probably my favorite motorcycle, it’s taken me years to get it this nice. 1971 RT1-360

 

ya if i get one ill have a dirt setup and street setup kinda like what i want to do with my klx as well

it looks great thou man! ive wanted one for awhile but i got my bike instead lol

 

also off topic what tires are you running? here soon ill need new tires and instead of running full on knobbies i want dual sport tires you know a good brand to look at?

 

This is my first dual sport bike. These tires are Shinko 804/805. So far no issues. Have had the bike up to 70 with no weird vibrations. They have done great offroad and on.

 

gotcha gotcha im running a set of tusk tires and they are fine up to 93mph buuut any wet surface they wish to kill me lol plus they dont last long at all... thankfully they are cheap!

ill look into that brand thanks!

 

Was going to ask how you liked that new rear... and then I kept reading...

Also, done? Really?

Nice! That tread pattern looks badass...

RE: my ongoing search, wife found a couple of XSR900's that "appear" to be in stock. One in Fredericksburg and one in Unionville. Will be calling ASAP!

 

AltRider high fender kit, Fuzeblock FZ1, and some Baja Design Squadron Sport fogs.


I thought you were done with bikes for a while too??

 

Ahem…

 

You didn’t finish your sentence

 

You steal that idea from Baja design? $262 Now where can I find just the bracket?

 

Well shit, now I have to do it haha. One on the Navi, one on the F800GS, it'll just look squinty a bit.

The Navi had a bolt on set of reflectors on the front that I can use those mounting points to make a quick bracket. Sounds like an excellent sunday welding project And I think I have enough scrap pieces of random LED and other wiring harnesses laying around I can piece together something to wire it in. Might need to 3d print a holder for the switch, not enough room on the bars for a clamp mount like that. Definitely doable on the cheap cheap though.

 

Funny how people can read the same sentence different ways

 

Whats next for me? That Trophy GS?
