HOW DO YOU GUYS FIND THESE DEALS!!! I literally DREAM of deals like this looking that clean for that price.

+1, Self sufficiency from catastrophic things is huge IMO. Whether it be mechanical break downs that are simple (loose nuts n bolts, flat tires, easy electrical, dead battery), or first aid stuff (electrical tape and a stick make a wonderful splint for a broken bone out in the boonies).... ALWAYS HAVE IT. The amount of times my simplified streamlined tool set and supplies that I have on my bikes/myself while riding have come in handy for a handful of times myself but more often others is amazing and has kept things from getting real shitty real quick.

 

As an update to this, @TacoTyusday got the rubber vulcanizing cement tonight. In a 5in long, at its thickest diameter 1in 3/32nd (at the center - ends are smaller) package I fit the following.

Reamer, Plug push tool, 4 full size bacon strips, mini knife (from HF tire patch kit) and the rubber vulcanizing cement tube.

Couldnt fit all 5 of the bacon strips it came with but 4 in this small of package is plenty. The two tips key into the handle tube very well and I cant foresee an issue with them and the thick walled aluminum 2 piece handle. This whole thing fits under my seat with a hand pump (yeah id be jerking off a hand pump for 10min if i didnt have a compressor, but thats way shorter than waiting for AAA).

Needless to say, very happy with the packaging and product. Now, fingers cross I never have to test it out on the road, BUT. If something needs to be patched at home I will 100% use this setup first to test and report back.

 

I once had a little Honda 50cc, wife said I looked like a circus bear on it.

 

There's a lot of us in here that are big fan of mini bikes and are big dudes

 

Was that because you had the worlds biggest smile while riding it?

 

All the air!

 

Depending on your parts needs David Silver Spares is a great source for vintage Honda stuff

 

What more do you need? lol.

 

Nothing at all. I get the new age tech, but I'm still a fan of old school analog stuffs

 

I need a giant screen. SO much easier to read for my old eyes. Going from my 2017 GS to my 2019 with the big screen made it such much easier to read especially at night

 

Thank you, just looked it up. I also joined a vintage Honda twins forum. I am lucky that there is a huge used parts shop here.

 

I am retired and scour CL on a regular basis. I was looking for a trail bike, this just might fund one. This one was 1 mile from my house and the ad was terrible, no pic, no price. When he told me the price I almost crapped my pants. His dad was the original owner, sold it to a neighbor who put it in the barn for 10 years. He got it back and gave up within a couple of weeks. It does not run but has compression. Clean title too! I compare this purchase to the 95 tacoma listed in my sig I bought for $850.[/QUOTE]

 

But do you need 2 screens?!

 

So my pants don't fit over my boots anymore..

guess Im in the market for in the boot pants, but Id also really like some armor. Rather not have separate armor..

 

Trying to find mud and gravel in the heat today..

 

Oh and another thing.. maybe i did it wrong.

I adjusted my shifter up to go with my boots not being broken in yet. But now, i have to take my foot off of the peg to go down. Did i go too high with the shifter? Might go down one tooth. I feel like something is wrong.

 

I'd say if you're having to take your foot off.....went to high

 

Unless you're like me where I have limited upward extension of my foot. Most of the time I have to take my foot off to shift down, my foot just won't bend up high enough, even with running my lever a spline or two further down. Yay weird limbs my shoulders and hips are hypermobile but my ankles suck.
