Finished the tire changer today:

 

I'd choose the F4i out of those three! My bias is showing.

 

Still no jumps

 

eventually when I get my hands on some free clay and free clean fill
then will make a nice mixture and lay out a few jumps



the soil I have here is either pure sand or pure rock, its been working for some berms but not good for jump building

 

Thanks for the link, I'll take a look and I'm sure I'll be going down a few rabbit holes.

I did get them from warp9 but it didn't come with the line clamp, only the caliper adapter. I ended up just snagging one from Zilla.

I totally spaced it on the kick stand length difference! Damn! Is the stock one completely non functional or just risky?

 

I'm loving the new look, can't wait to ride it. I'm being "forced" to spend the weekend wine tasting so I guess it'll have to happen next week.

 

Need some video of a hot lap!

 

what did the wheel/tire combo set you back?

 

soooo question who all has owned a drz400?

and has anyone had the speedo just decide to umm turn off and no longer work?? it was working fine on the way in and then when i was almost to work it just shut off....

 

Whenever I've had a speedo just randomly stop working it's because I've broken the speedometer cable or it's jostled itself un-screwed. But that's on my old old bikes haha I have no idea if your drz even has a speedo cable.

 

Mine did that. It's a known problem. I put a trail tech vapor on

 

soooo its the entire cluster that wont work i cant see miles, fuel, speed nothing....

man the trail tech is nice i just dont wanna spend the money on one tbh....

 

~$1500. Might not have gotten them if I knew I was going to buy that FZ6

 

Hmm, maybe it was an option. Can't recall.

Stock stand felt like a stiff wind would push the bike over, but it did work. I also have it at it's lowest ride height, sans YamaLink.

 

Ok, totally off topic, but every thread needs a good derail once in a while... So, you got any cool stories and pics of the CH-53(s) you're willing to share? I'm a half ass helicopter junkie and just think they're cool as hell. Especially the big bruisers like that.

 

That one was mine

 

Hey group,

Got my wrap done. For how complex the contours of the panels were, I give myself a C+, B-. I am moving onto the decal portion of the build. I want some sponsor decals, but not ridiculous. I started here. I am going to get new Suzuki wording to go back over the wrap. Not sure of color yet.

Opinion and ideas welcome.

 

could you match the suzuki letting to the yellow thats already on the bike?

 

I found a ton of vendors selling all sorts of decals. I was thinking the same, match the yellow. It is hard to tell on screen if their yellow would match. The tank color I really like also, but also hard to tell if what I am ordering would match.

i have some yellow rim decals to put in I think will match what is already on. Maybe I start there and if the match is good order from the same vendor.
