Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

These are our 2 favorites right now (and coincidentally both Kawasaki).

2009 KLX250S with about 1000 original miles on it and a couple great mods.

And the 1974 G5 100 (later known as the KE100). 4450 original miles, previous owner had it for 45 years (since '76) and with a new clutch, points and condenser, carb clean, descaling the inside of the gas tank, and other misc things, it's been 200 miles reliable so far after 35 years in storage!

I'm only 16 but no one will EVER be able to get me off 2 wheels

 

Those always felts soooo scammy.

 

I mean, its basic raffle math and the recipient gets a hell of a deal, but I know some folks recoil at the idea of the "seller" / "raffler" getting paid wildly over value for the item being given away.

I'd be for it, but know it isn't popular sometimes.

 

but drz is better! then we will have the same bike!

 

bummer that sucks! and yes my klx is the same as a drz just green! its at the 318lbs area not to heavy but over that limit it seems

 

Ok question for you gents. What type of phone mount are you guys using on your motorcycles. ?

 

i use quad lock on my bike if its not in my pocket and that thing is great! it kept my phone on my bike even when i crashed the bike so its pretty strong! the only thing i dislike is for a dual sport there isnt many good places to mount it so its difficult...

 

Get one with a vibration dampener, the vibes can damage the camera in your phone

 

Both of these

Quadlock fork stem mount with vibration dampener. Works great

 

i need to get the vibration dampener eventually

 

Add me to the Quadlock user pool (with vibe dampener).

Have ram mounts in my truck, and the quadlock system is just definitively better, esp for moto applications.

 

I had a cheap claw grip style mount and after a long day of riding the camera got screwed up and wouldn’t autofocus. The good news was my phone was under warranty so got it fixed for free.

 

Yeah I ruined an iphone 6 and an Xmax cameras back in the day with my ram x claw mount thing. Stopped using it except in rare occasions with the minimotos where I need it to verify a speedo reading real quick or something.

 

Thank you gents

 

Especially when they call them “waffles” because anytime you post a “raffle” it gets flagged on social media lol

 

We've got a RAM mount for our KLX (and will be getting another for the G5) and it's been great. Fits bigger phones, easy to take in/out and adjust, and it's super secure. Phone stays in even on pretty rough terrain trails we ride.

 

ahh i gotcha ive noticed the quadlock doesnt vibrate as much as other mounts id like to relocate mine since its in an awkward spot but man id prob have to swap handle bars from my moose set

 

Slipgrip mount for me. Had a phone come out of a Ram X grip once. Slipgrip is made to fit specific phones not universal.

 

Have Quadlock with vibration dampener and iPhone 12 pro max

 

I had a "friend" from the subaru community who was running raffles for PS5's when they first started coming out. They were somehow managing to snag all the new ones as soon as available, and raffling them off at $50/spot, for 30-50 spots total. Absolutely wild, and IMO pretty scummy
