Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

more interesting things i found out is when putting a socket on the crank and spinning it by hand the bottom end moves! so the piston and everything moves nice and smoothly no issues but when you look up at the head... the cams and timing chain do not move at all so i gotta drain the coolant and look at the other side of the engine and im hoping ill figure out what broke tonight

 

It's an Africa Single



Found some Traveller lights on clearance for $16. The 3" ones from Amazon were too big. I may mount the 2nd set on the forks and add the yellow tint to them. Haven't decided if I like the red or blue ring.

 

Thoughts?

Looks awfully similar to @Gunshot-6A new Triumph

 

so should I do Squadron Sports or S1?

Price difference is $35

 

For $35, get the better ones. I've got just $35 in both sets of mine

 

squadron sports are 4 LED vs S1 are 1 LED

 

I'd go for the ones that are $35 more. I'll just be glad when my tidy tail, lowering link, and graphics kit gets here. Then I can put all the crap on. Have quite a few things to go on

 

I had to refocus on my truck for a little bit. Will get back to the bike soon. Most likely after the ride this weekend

 

I've got a shit ton of stuff sitting around for my truck too. Head/fog wiring upgrade, water pump(always change it with coolant), coolant, u-joints, carrier bearing upgrade, and sure some other things. Just need it to cool down and have a mod day

 

I just need to find some white plastics and gold wheels.

 

whats your height?

i always hear mixed feelings on the lowering links

interested to hear your before and after feelings!!

that thing is super sexy, and that repsol in the back mamasita yes sir!!!

 

I looked for that repsol graphic kit for my red Grom but no luck.

 

I could have gotten a dark green Navi, but I hate the color. Would rather have Nut Brown So Ill wait. Also gives me an easy out if I want to cancel

 

You have to swap out the plastics to white anyways. Gotta match your truck and AT

 

well..... that does look good. US spec model? Im not trying to mod it..

 

Judge Dredd IS THE LAW!

 

I've had two strikes - a Robin to the bicep and a Sparrow a week ago to the left pectoral. Amazing how much a 6oz bird can hurt. The Robin exploded, new jacket, guts all the way up my arm and into my helmet!

Had a couple of close calls - a Turkey and a Sandhill Crane. Both scared the absolute sh$t out of me. The Turkey was close enough that it's feet hit my helmet! Don't need either again, thank you.

 

Watching to see what it is. Very curious.
