Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

Picked up some fox mx shirt/pants, ordered a hitch carrier, requested 3 days off in August for a track weekend in Wisconsin and asked for labor day weekend off to ride in Arkansas. Gonna be some good times coming up

 

Pretty paint!

 

You swap out your fork springs yet?

 

Nope. It's riding pretty well so I'm not going to yet

 

Braaaaaaaaaaap! Truck is loaded up and ready to go camping, riding, and hiking! Leaving right after I finish my dinner.

 

Got the Zeta starter cover on and a new oring. No leaks so far. Much better looking and tougher feeling than the stock cast aluminum crap. Zeta is machined aluminum like my levers.

Also have the red zeta brake clevis still coming. Spicing the bike up with something since i can't seem to find an entire replacement brake pedal.

Considering one of the clear oil filter housing covers off of ebay, i wonder just how durable they are though....


Also got my gopro smart remote so I can stop messing up my camera angle every time i want to turn the camera on/off

 

The GoPro remote is really nice to have. I just plug it into my 12v plug and just let it run all day. I'm surprised that just turning your GoPro off/on by hand was enough to move it. Sounds like you need to tighten down those screws....

 

Well you have to figure...going 40mph on dirt my hands are bouncing all over the place....

I do have allen head bolts for the mount to make it completely ridgid tight but then i'm afraid a branch will catch it and break my mount

 

I'd like to do a chin mount and leave it on my helmet 24/7 but i can't get anything to fit to suit me

 

Hmm, guess I just tighten mine down a lot more. Once I figure out where I want it, I tighten it down with a screwdriver so it doesn't budge. I do want to get some replacement screws to get rid of the crazy amount of thumb screws sticking out.

I actually just swapped to a chin mount a couple weeks ago. Like it so much better. Should be able to do it on your helmet no problem.

 

I haven't found a method that i like to make it fit on the front of the AFX FX-39

Here you go:

$9 80/20 Inc., 11-5520, 20 Series, Metric M5 x 20mm Socket Head Cap Screw (SHCS) (15 Pack)

looks like its 90+ for the next few days. Looking forward to riding more, and driving less. I rode everyday to work this week.

 

Our helmets are basically the same thing...did you have to use any extra double face tape Brent?

 

Thanks, but I'm going to just pick up some allen screws from Lowe's or something that will sit almost completely flush.

Nope, I just used another adhesive mount as close to the front as I could get and then used a combination of short and long arms until I got it centered. No extra adhesive and it's been holding up fine for the past few weeks even though a corner of the adhesive isn't even touching the helmet. I've seen others use extra adhesive strips to make it as flush as possible though. You'd be fine either way I'm sure.

 

These do sit as flush as possible. I'll provide pictures

 

after riding in one i can say with confidence that i'd never own one

 

I could say that without riding in one, ha

 

haha good point. but i was curious to see what it was like, and it was worse than anticipated

 

I'm not surprised. One rear wheel for traction just seems like a dipshit idea for a "fun car"
