Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

@gixxerphil s second seat came in on Wednesday. Today was fitment and adjustment was time consuming. But it fits good.

 

Picked up a new to me bike today to replace the BMW.

BTW what size lift do I need on this to fit 33s?

 

I don’t think 33s will fit that bike.

 

Finally got my fat bar on. My old bars were a tad shorter and a bit more narrow then these. Plus ya know bent lol.

These sit at a height in more comfortable with and a tad wider helps as well.

 

I have been looking at those and the scramblers how dare you ....

 

Not with that attitude!

 

@BkerChuck

why is this kinda neat...

 

Thats the model that confused their entire naming scheme.. usually F series is a parallel twin, but that is a single cylinder rotax engine that'll last forever. Long travel suspension, 21/17 wheels, I think almost a 5 gallon tank, and around 400lbs. They're sleeper medium weight ADV bikes, perfect little BDR machines. Younger sibling to the F800GS I have.

 

haha ya thats what i was reading on it as well. its a really neat bike and the og owner from 02 so thats pretty dang cool! idk if it would be something id want but it is a really neat bike.

 

Love my bonneville t120!

 

My first ride/hike combo yesterday...

 

Question for you gents. Im need of new tires for my ktm 890 what brand of tires are you guys liking? I don't ride that bike hard its more of a touring bike than anything. I've always ran Diablo corsa on my cbr1000rr. Im looking for more of a good all season tire and some suggestions

 

I've used Pirelli Angel STs on my FZ1 and currently on my Triple. Seem to be wearing well and have given me all the grip I need in dry and rain. Not sure about mileage (sold the FZ1 shortly after I put them on) but they seem to be wearing well on the Triple!
