Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

put a new mirror in last night.. damn $112 for a new OEM one. I hope this one doesn't get all floppy after a while like the old one did.

 

anyone have suggestions for battery brands? I went with one from Batteries Plus last time.. but not sure it's that great. It'll give me a weak start just by having my LED low beams on for 5 minutes.

 

Shorai Lithium Ion

i'm switching all my buddies to them. Picking one up for my bike this summer....

 

i'm still shocked you didn't get one to replace the DRZ

 

I got one of those in my dual sport. Good battery

 

if there was one in stock when i was looking in Kentucky/Tennessee i probably would have

 

Just finished building my s1krr with carbon fiber. All I need now is some bst wheels! Thinking about thar h2r tho

 

3 pounds lighter?! Hashtag weight reduction

 

I know nothing about these bikes, nor do I have a bike, but that is the coolest paint job I've ever seen.

 

Hey thanks man! It was a custom job, I poured alot of money into it like my truck haha but you can only mod so much on a bike haha

 

yet its still expensive. i will say sportbikes have less of a mod factor compared to dirtbikes/supermoto/adv.

think i did brake lines, asv levers, plastics, fender eliminator, integrated tail, exhaust, grips on my old cbr

 

Thats the idea

 

Yup that's about it! You named everything haha i have a tune controller from Brock's too!
I like dirtbikes but just wait for my son to turn like 3 so we can start riding again. I had a raptor 700 that I modded to death and I had alot into to cost upwards of what I bought my beamer for

 

i had a lot into my drz before i sold it. too much, lol. fun bike though.

digging the paint job as well

 

Frame sliders, swing arm/axle sliders/spools, case savers, samco hoses, steel braided brake lines, rotors and pad upgrades (not sure what comes standard with the S1000RR), weighted bar ends, powder coat swing arm, and in my opinion the number 1 "upgrade" is professional suspension tune for your weight and ride style. (Road, Track, Mall, Mountain twisties).

S1000RR's are the sex though, fo sho!

 

agree about the suspension. huge difference on any bike. my cbr went from just being ok to steady on the track with adjustment. still needing to do my yz, grom, and 690 now.

 

Such a terrible problem you have ahead of you, which one to setup first!

 

Omg, i’m in love. Phew!

 

This is what it looked like before the big change

 

Did they come in that color scheme?
