Cool picture of my old Repsol...

 

Love me a repsol.

 

MNNTHBX released some of their navi accessories. Drum rolllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

Ohlin's shock and mount: $574

Intake is $149

Fender eliminator is $55 for plate mount only and $185 with a couple turn signals and resistor

I definitely should not order half of the value of the bike in accessories before I get it. Actually aside from the Ohlins, I think the eliminator and air box should be pretty cheap and easy to self-fab. I can handle wiring new turn signals and stuff.

 

But can you get gold wheels?

 

For $13.64 at Walmart I can





(side note when the hell did plasti dip start costing $14)

 

Jeebus! Just looked up duplicolor and they’re up to $23 for a can of gold. Black is still under $10 but white is over $50 on Amazon!

 

Price of gold just keeps going up. Should have bought in earlier

 

Used to sell a ton of this shit to the Subaru Bros back in the day.

Lol! Install of the GS up-pipe on my FXT was... fun. Spent almost an hour one evening, just trying to get it to fit from underneath the engine. Wife came out, looks at it from the top, grabs it, gives it a slight twist and BOOM it went right where it was supposed to be...

 

Anxiously awaiting a box full of parts so I can finally install the finishing touches on the scooter. Going to be busy this weekend.

 

Was their sales/tech guy for about 2yrs in the late 00s. Coached many people through that, and other installs.

 

I had been looking to piece together something to add some aux power for phone and such to my Rally. Come to find out Honda added an accessory plug into the factory harness....so I splurged and got this. Mounts right under the display and has a couple switches in case I decide to add fog lights or heated grips later.

 

I want something like that.

I know my wife took advantage of the quad lock sale and got me all the stuff to mount my phone on the bike, and an additional one to convert my truck to quad lock.

I want to add an additional plug to my bike, but i dont need something for gps because my bike has Apple car play already. So cant decide if I should add a 12v plug or a USB socket

 

Go 12v SAE, then you can use it to charge the bike, heated gear, run a bike air compressor, or battery tender makes sae-usb dongles that are handy.

 

This. Quad lock makes a very robust 8" lightning cable so you don't have to route 36" of cable. I went SAE and added this:

$15 EXTRACTME Motorcycle USB Charger, 6.8A Quick Charge 3.0 Dual USB Motorcycle Phone Charger with Voltmeter & ON/Off Switch, Waterproof Quick Disconnect SAE to USB Adapter for Phone, Tablet, GPS

Which in my case is great cuz i have a 22 year old bike with no dash info. The battery monitor is awesome to have and it's awesome for the phone, very versatile.

 

I have a lithium battery. And a built in USB on my dash area. I was talking about on the left side of the dash area, there is an OEM accessory socket option, but im not sure if i want a cig lighter plug there.

I have way too much dash info haha. Actually have a built in code reader to tell me if there are any codes from the engine. Along with battery voltage, range, average mpg, etc. So many things!

 

little storytime for you guys to shame me so i never make this mistake again.

Got to work yesterday morning, promptly left after arriving to handle some work business, then came back. Like a dunce, I left my keys in the motorcycle in the ON position upon my return, and didn't realize until the very end of the day when I was looking for my keys and realized I couldn't find them. Walked out to a completely dead battery. Ended up having to buy a power pack from Napa Auto parts ($150!) just so I could jump it and get home.



Now I'm wondering just how much of a scumbag I would be if I returned the power pack after charging it up.
