Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

I must have misinterpreted your text. I thought you might be trading?

 

Made it out of scrap 5/8" OSB I had laying around. 48" wide by 36" tall. Shelves are 9" deep. Just trimmed the front out with some primed pine. Easy peasy.

 

Or find a class with a BMW brand ambassador. They tour the country a lot. I did one with Shawn Thomas that was great. It was only like $30 for six hours and lunch or something like that.

 

or better yet, go full in and do this w/ Chris Birch:

I was thinking of am making something similar using my quick detach brackets. Basically a wall of receivers that I can attach any of my luggage options onto. Just need to find the wall space really. I’ve been meaning to do a deep de clutter of my garage that includes taking everything out and putting up new drywall- but that’s a bigger project.

 

I probably just have way too much stuff




But I finished mounting the Kriega rackless setup. 98% happy. I need to make a small spacer bracket to push the bag off of the exhaust.

 

So I’ve been using my OS bag for a tail bag for a while now, and when I mounted up my mosko moto tank bag didn’t like how the yellow on the kriega and the blue on the mosko clashed. A minute in the cricut software and some blue vinyl later and they now match. Just sayin if you want to cover up those holes it’s a 17mm diameter circle of vinyl to fit it haha

 

It doesn't bother me yet. Arent they reflective too?

 

A little bit, yeah. Reflective doesn't do me any good on top of my bike though

Also, if you want to keep it reflective but also want to change the color, can't recommend this stuff enough: https://rydesafe.com/

 

I would not recommend it for a first street bike, it's very powerful, but be conservative with the throttle and work up your skill and it will be a great bike.

 

Aka don’t be dumb and you’ll be alright?

 

Looks like a good excuse to get a new exhaust

 

Exactly!

 

$900 for a slip on.. it can wait

 

Rolling out in a few

 

Several years back, some dumb SOB at the WI DMV decided that it would be a great idea to allow unregistered UTVs on public roads. It is now dangerous to ride a motorcycle in any county that allows them on their roadways as the dumb bastards go off into the gravel on every damned corner, dragging gravel onto the road surface, sometimes just a little, sometimes a lot. I would think it could even make driving a 4-wheeled vehicle dangerous.

One of the most noticeable advantages I've found to running 80/20 tires is that they will handle a smattering of gravel/small branches in turns with impunity, while my sport tires would skitter and twitch. Now, don't get me started on grass clippings spewed everywhere!
