Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

Long day yesterday. Started at 430am driving down then rode 35 miles of continuous rock. Clipped a 4inch branch to the helmet did not feel good on the neck. Had a migraine the rest of the night from that

 

@gixxerphil

New emblems tank and trunk. Taking her to work next week.

 

Looking good

 

Haven't been riding since I dropped the tracer off.... Been have a rough go of things with one of our dogs and it hasn't been fun... So ATM bikes are just parked..


But we did get a few things done to both the xr and the klx. Both got wider foot pegs and I bought the gf some pillow topper grips for her bike that should be here in a week hopefully.


Klx/\

XR/\



Also put chain lube on and for sure didn't have the klx kickstand skip off my foot...

 

Altrider brake pedal enlarger and Denali lights installed this weekend. Def make me much more visible!

id love to give it a go one day! but i got more work to do id imagine haha

 

And only 5 grand. lol OMG that is horrible.

 

Patent pending "Variable entropy fog light positioning" for maximum attention by surrounding vehicles

Really though, the mount is on the crash bars, which you have to disassemble to get to the laughably small battery compartment on the 1000 Africa twins.

 

exactly! as the fender wobbles the headlight wobbles to get attention!

oh i know lol just thought it was funny haha

 

I took another spare screen I had and made an even shorter one. I took it for a ride on Sunday and love it. So much more airflow than what I was expecting. I have several screens, from OEM to this one, and a couple in between. I like having choices!

 

That just sounds like a naked bike with extra steps

 

You're right, lol! I love the power and smoothness of the FJR, and since most of my riding is twisty country roads, the small screen fits well. I've ridden sportbikes for 30 or the 40+ years I've been riding. I switched to the FJR about 10 years ago. She's fast enough for me at this stage of the game. Plus, she's all day comfy.

 

Amazon has really spoiled me. I hate waiting for parts now lol.

Rad guards, case protection, heat shield kit, throttle spacers, new rear spring, and a rear tank cover all on order for the Ducati.

Somehow, the case protection got returned to sender for an invalid address. so that's fun.

 

Ride Old Bikes!

Nice!
