Hover bike! ATM trying to see if I wanna go drop the wheels off for coating or to just put my tires on so I can start riding again soon...

 

Found a good deal on a bunch of parts for a bolt. Well minus the Kawasaki windscreen lol that just came in the box might use it on the klx for longer trips.

 

I saw a couple bikes out yesterday, was in the 50s here finally. But still some snow on the ground and lots of melting. I'll wait until the snow is gone and we've had a couple of good rains to wash the salt away.

 

Does anyone have a better way to do a wire split? I used crimps doing 1 in and 2 out but its so bulky. i have 5 +12v that need fed and same for common. so i ended up with 3 crimps per wire doing splits.

i could buy a wago and have a semi-distribution block?

closed end crimp and heatshrink it so they cant come loose?

 

i always just solder in my wires but they can even be bulky when doing that sadly...

 

i think i decided to try closed end crimps. itll be easier for me to do and faster. I should be able to put them all in one crimp and then ill heat shrink the bundle.

 

ya that should work. should be pretty cool once all done!

 

My hub/spokes should be here Friday

 

welp looks like my gf has found the bike she wants!

2023 xr150l in black 2k miles for 2600. we will have to drive a ways to get it but if its what she wants ill drive down with her to grab it. so hopefully this weekend she will have her first bike!

 

Nice. I still think that bike would be a perfect campsite bike.

 

I bought a kit of these and have been pretty impressed.

Just ordered some too so i could get same day delivery, lol. I was getting low on regular heatshrink ones anyways (no solder)

 

I just found a factory CRF250L white front fender for $60ish shipped

I have never seen one under $120 after shipping.

 

yup it should be a great bike for her to put around and learn to ride and get her footing with a bike.

 

sooo you ordered it ya? lol

 

I did I just need some company to make the side plastics in white

 

Pending any shipping delays.. My new Seat Concepts, seat should be here Monday.
