As much as I hate bezos and all he stands for... whatcha all buying on Prime day?

Typical noco sales going on:

https://amzn.to/3IjwnZy
1amp charger that comes with the pig tail (unscrew the clamps and its a pig tail)

And their lifepo4 batteries are at their normal lowest point of around $100 for a full size: https://amzn.to/3Tpt19A and $63 for a minibike (grom etc): https://amzn.to/44ADRid
Haven't done much digging aside from those, about to head back to work from my lunch break and assuming it continues to be a slow day I'll be back haha

 

@Gunshot-6A used to be, but moved to WA, I can't recall anyone else out there.

 

I dont think they all do but most. And i wouldnt count that as the light spot dot either.

 

Oo this might get added to replace my harbor freight mini tool set as under-seat tools. It has sockets! I can't get a good idea on the size of the case though.. For $12 might be worth a flyer on it, even if it doesn't fit under the seats on my bikes.

So about the size of my....

Wait a minute

Good way to visualize. Somehow missed that pic, thanks!

 

Glad I could help.

 

ooooh undertail exhaust hellls ya! love it!


for the exhaust im wanting its decently loud lol. for the tracer you can have it under the engine like the stock exhaust or you can have it mount on the swingarm. to me mounting it on the swingarm looks awful and it looks way better with it still being tucked under the engine on the bike. so it makes it a bit louder since it has less there lol.

i do love the sound of the akra but im not paying 2k! to hell with that! i have looked at a few others below 1k and do like them but havent pulled the trigger haha.

 

underslung exhausts are nice, and they keep the center of gravity low (albeit a minor difference). bonus points for better symmetry too. it'll undoubtedly be louder to you as well, since the exhaust exit is under you rather tan behind you.

yeah akras are pricey. the full akra race exhaust for the ducati + install at the dealer OTD is $11k...lol. i wonder if LeoVince makes one for your bike, those are nice sounding exhausts that aren't necessarily deafening.

 

Prime day ordered a wheel balancer and some black 1/2oz stick on weights to pretty it up.
47t sprocket is here.
Balancer/weights won't be here until late Thursday afternoon, might not get that Friday ride in like I planned. Unless I pull everything before hand and be waiting on the driver to pull up.
Who are we kidding, that's exactly how it's gonna play out. Give's me time to get the sprocket changed and maybe a test fit to make sure the chain is long enough.

Tires are holding exact pressure from yesterday. Confidence in my work is growing.
Gonna hit 5k next week or two, that'll be 3000 miles for this summer. At this rate, I'll be swapping the rear tire again around fall.

 

holy shit thats insane! i was looking at the dominto brand but know nothing of them other then the price is where id want to spend haha

 

Crap! A full stainless exhaust (minus header) out of Germany for a BMW E30 is less than that!

 

In my experience (guesstimating 20 tire changes or so), no dot indicates the tire is fairly even in weight. At least that's how I recall it seeming when I balanced them...

 

Had some "plans" re: Amazon Prime but a $700 tree cutting bill put those to rest!

 

Hm idk if I've heard of that brand unless it's a typo

 

Maybe Dominator? I was gonna get their exhaust for my Rally(full kit is $450) but then my buddy gave me the full Black Widow exhaust

 

Sold my bike today.

 

I can't like this

planning to replace it? taking a hiatus? never to return?

 

dominator ya i left out the r on accident lol

excuse me wha

Sorry!
