Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

Did a fender mod on the tdub, only took a few minutes. Just a 1" lift but it might make a difference on a muddy trail.
Gives it a little more clearance.

Just simple 1" spacers and longer bolts.

I got the kit from Bradley performance.
Tdub got its first parts sticker, lol.

 

Next thing the tdub got was better footpegs.
Tusk brand. Twice as wide as stock. Machined bullet aluminum.

 

And last but not least a rear rack to be able to put a tail bag on for drinks, tools, etc.
I got this rack from procycle. Stupid expensive bet the best designed small rack I have seen. It measures 12x15. It has 6 mounting points which makes it very strong. It also has a bracket that attaches to the heavier frame tubing and not just the weak subframe. I can lift the bike with the rack, very solid. Center holes are for a roto pac fuel can if I ever felt the need for that.

I really like the more compact size of this rack. Some of the racks I've seen are huge monstrosities, lol. I don't plan to do moto camping so I really don't need a rack that big. Just enough supplies for a days ride in the woods.

 

No shit!!! BIKE JUST Sold!! Took 10k cash
Wow that was fast!!

 

$4500 isn’t bad for this stable of 5 dirtbikes. Going to give the Chinese dirtbike back to the guy who gave it to me for free with the blown engine.

 

So ugh what’s next?

 

All this nice weather lately definitely helps sell bikes

 

Supermoto the Klx in a couple weeks. That’s just a free swap though. Nothing right now but hey that could change in 5 min so stay tuned. Lol

 

The guy just literally sold his 2024 Nina 500 today and saw my bike last night just after I listed it. He said it was his dream bike. I guess perfect timing again. Crazy!!

 

My vote is a CRF450RL in supermoto form. Seems like you would have no problem with the maintenance intervals

 

Might be something to look into but for now I will do the swap with the Klx.

 

Thats wild it sold so fast, congrats! I give it until the 4th of July, max


As for what bike it'll be... hmm.. I don't think you're going to do another sport bike. You already have the SM, monkey, and harley

My random guesses in no particular order:

Multistrada - sport tourer, comfy go fast
Hypermono or hypermotard - powerful SM
Maybe something a bit more chill like the new royal enfield bear 650 or whatever? Those are good looking bikes, you could pick up one brand new for $10K, too.



Or maybe go back for that Ninja 400RR or whatever it is.. the little inline 4 screamer? I don't know if you'll like it though, won't get enough places to really push it hard, yknow?

Damn, i got looking on Seattle craigslist and saw this 2015 1190, I wish that had been available last summer when I got the S1000XR, would absolutely have gotten that instead.

Beautiful bike it does Not have any problems 7051 miles ..extra tall windshield ...TuraTech Aluminum side boxes...148 Hp. Street tires with only 1800 miles on them the bike also 2 small high intensity road lights will accept slightly lower offers..The reason why I am listing my bike for1300 hundred dollars under market value is that I am 78 years old and have lost my balance so I will easily fall down when I am going slowly around a sharp corner that will be expensive to fix because I will brake off either the front brake lever or the clutch lever and I will dent one of the TuraTech boxes that costs 3 hundred dollars the KTM seat has been changed to a Corbin seat it is a lot more comfortable than the stock KTM seat.​

 

Shoot, who’s going to get another bike first? You or @oldtoyman

 

I really don’t know what I will do yet because it sold so quickly and I haven’t had time to think about it much. At this point in time there isn’t anything that really catches my attention. I really like the Klx, monkey and Harley right now. All of them are comfortable and fun to ride. After the supermoto swap on the Klx it should be even more fun to ride aggressively. Right now even with the DS wheels and adventure tires it can corner rather well.

 

100% @oldtoyman

I have a window shopping problem, but I feel like I've said it a lot lately, I'd like to remain married

 

Nope I vote Spencer!!! Lol

 

What bike did you sell again?

Interested to hear what you think after making the SM swap! I can't get enough corner "railing" and light off roading since swapping mine over...

 

you can start offering introduction to moto riding classes now that you have the perfect learning trifecta of bikes pw50 klx110 crf80!
keep an eye out on eBay, you can find some really nice used klx110 parts for cheap
(also a lot of people asking msrp+ on used parts but ignore them)

 

those look like some nice boots. i might have to look into those atm im using my work boots when i ride the tracer.

very nice! that ice cream looks great!

cruise control was odd the first time i used it on my bike but now i use it all the time going into work lmao

thats normal tbh

i didnt think i tagged this sorry about that lol.

i still need to buy the foot pegs for my klx... been wanting the ims ones for a looong time but havent done it yet...




hopefully everyone had a good weekend and it looks like a lot of ya did lol. i did jack shit! was a crappy ish weekend so i just stayed home the entire time.

 

I sold the 2017 GSXR 750

I can’t wait for the sm swap. Very excited!!
