Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

When i get out there next summer, you better take me somewhere cool.

 

Goddamnit! the lack of tricolor option on the 22 AT base was what kept me from seriously entertaining it. I hated the base model red. The black looks sweet too, but good god would that be awful to ride in the UT sun.

 

Oh yeah, I already have some ideas you'll love.

 

Theres 2 new black colors, but not as interesting to me.. The dark gray looks pretty good

Regarding your windshield issue have you looked at these guys?

Installed one on my ex g/f BMW F800ST and it made a world of difference. Nicely made stuff and not unreasonable.

 

My bike is so new, a lot of accessories from 3P manufacturers aren't out quite yet. I'll have to keep them in mind when I do go looking for a new windscreen.

 

That dark grey one looks really nice!

 

Those cases look identical to the Apache cases that are sold at harbor freight.

 

I have 3 or 4(3800 and 4800) of them in the tan. Great for what they are. I will never use the cases to Pelican standards, so I went for the price

 

I finally found a old thread on thumper talk that talks about my exact issue!

so down in the engine there is a primary nut that holds 3 sprockets together and one of those sprockets is the cam chain sprocket… so how the person stated is the bike was running fine then had a chain slap noise then it stopped running similar to mine… so what everyone has said is that primary nut that holds those sprockets will get loose sometimes… and when that happens the cam chain sprocket will break its keyway and then spin freely and you have the chance of a piston meeting a valve… so I know the direction I need to go now! I gotta pull the clutch basket and get to that sprocket and also pull the head to check the valves

 

Yeah, there's like 9 container brands all using the exact same cases, just a different logo slapped on them.

 

Can Confirm: Rides like a bat out of hell to and from Chik-Fil-A trying to beat the lunch rush!

@Doc Samson how come you didn’t get that one!?

 

I grew up in Santa Maria not too far from Zaca. Saw some pretty big names train at Zaca back in the day. Sad to hear...

When I bought my bike, it had their kickstand pad and rear master brake guard. I have since bought the dash and fog light brackets. I want the engine guard/skid plate, rear rack, braided brake lines, and a few others I can't remember

Check their closeouts....they have some Africa Twin stuff

 

Next project for me:
Fuzeblock FZ-1
Baja Design Squadron Sports pair in amber driving pattern
Moto Minded BBS Bomber Bar Switch

OR

Altrider high fender kit

 

Just a few photos of the current status of the klx got to take more apart tonight I wish I had more time but raising a puppy I don’t get much time haha

High fender

Did the thread make it seem like it was an easyish fix?
