Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

Some bikes i tinkered through the years.To many toys i suppose.Some i still have,some i've sold off.

 

wow that is an amazing looking bike and its the yellow! also what was special about the shock?

 

yet!

sick looking little bike thou!

 

In terms of performance, probably not a whole lot vs a different nice aftermarket shock, but from what I can tell there were only a handful ever made. I've seen one used one from a few years ago listed for over $1k.

 

ooh i gotcha ya mine dont got that lol id like to upgrade my suspension eventually but for conventional forks all i can do really is tune them ive seen

 

I did some youtube videos with a brand called Kemimoto and their products for the Navi and I'm *really* hoping they'll want to work with me on some of their grom parts. They make a bunch, including exhausts, levers, tail tidy, rear rack, etc. Fingers crossed freeeeeeeeee stuff

 

I have a Kemimoto backpack! I didn't realize they made exhausts. That's pretty cool.

 

haha that would be the dream! id love free stuff for the klx lol

 

They've actually been fun to work with. I had their cupholder and universal tail tidy. Did a video on the universal and they reached out and sent me a Navi-specific one that I did an initial video on, then they actually followed up a couple months later and said hey, we made some tweaks based on your feedback, want to review it again? New version should come out in March and I'm waiting to publish that video. Also got a free heated vest out of them! The video tanked but the vest is great haha they also wanted to send me a pair of gloves to review, but I'm so bad at regularly putting out videos I didn't really want my channel turning into a Kemimoto commercial..

 

It was supposed to rain today so I drove the truck to work. No rain and almost 50 degrees out when I got home. I just had to go for a ride. Murals were involved.



Mural for the Lincoln Highway, this is the easternmost one in Abbottstown, PA. I think there are a total of 12 as you cross the state. Would like to get the whole set.



Local pool obviously closed for the season.

 

I had a yellow 2007 400 SM loved that bike. Big bore, 39mm flat slide, MRD pipe, suspension done front and rear with RM internals dyno'd at 48.** hp to the wheel.

welp everyone i ordered a bunch of shit for the klx! sold some small things today so i got extra cash to spend on some dumb stuff for the bike!
-skda 96 factory kawasaki graphics with a glitter effect on them
-trail vapor dash kit with all the sensors and such
-ufo universal fork guards
-seal savers long zip on savesrs
-seal savers palm savers
-rocochet offroad skid plate

graphics will take awhile same with the skidplate the rest will start showing up slowly just need white rear parts for the bike!

 

I forgot to take a picture at 40,000 today! I didn't even realize I was that close when I left for work this morning.

 

That is a no brainer - DRZ.

 

Sad to say that I haven't ridden in about 3-4 months. Looking forward to riding more this spring.

On the plus side, I scored a brand new Shoei RF-1400 helmet this weekend for $400. A guy down the road bought a Harley and a bunch of gear but decided riding wasn't for him so he selling all of it.

 

Because I'm being lazy....pic of the graphics kit before I go googling

I couldn't wait

If this is it, I dig it

 

Nice! What color RF-1400? I'm always tempted to get one but can't justify the almost $1k price tag.

 

I think you might be confusing that with another model... the RF-1400 retails for around $580, a little more if you get one with graphics. I got a yellow one from Revzilla for 15% off. It's a nice lid and I like it better than my old RF-1200

 

Nope, I want the RF-1400 Mural ($680), Transition visor ($210) and pinlock ($40), so after tax I was looking at close to $1k.

 

Ok gotcha, the mural graphics are cool I wanted that one too but decided to save the money and get a solid color. I was on the fence with the transition shield but reading some reviews people say it stops working as well as it ages. Went with the dark smoked shield for $60.
