Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

I guess exotic looking.. not sure of any benefits

 

Its whatever the frame is titled as. No other way around it using that frame.

 

Hub centric steering is the bee's knees. It separates braking forces from suspension/steering forces aka no brake dive in the front. BMW's bigger boxer front ends (forget what they call it..) and Honda's newer goldwings have a kind of similar function with a-arms.

 

In VA, if its 25+ years, I can register as an antique. Im not sure if I could register it as "offroad only" .

@uhplifted cant even look at it, without being taxed or needing emissions

 

Hey now don’t single me out. @GHOST SHIP lives in these parts too.

 

Here is my 2003 HARLEY FLSTFI FB! Street glide hard bags w/ speakers, Vance Hines pipes, fairing w/ 2 6x9 speakers, blue tooth audio, cold air intake, thunder max engine controller, and many more little mods! It's orginally dark blue in color, all powder coated black. Love this damn thing and can't wait till Spring here in Southern Illinois!

 

For @uhplifted ’s Harley? I can paint it black.

 

I wasnt singling you out.. you just made the comment that everything gets emission tested in Cali

 

I have no idea what the rules are for the Yamaha now that I think of it. It’s a ‘79 so I’m sure it’s got to be exempt from whatever BS is in place for newer bikes.
Not that I really care anyway since every part I bought for my stage 1 had the disclaimer “not for street use in CA”. I wouldn’t even know who would enforce those specific laws.

 

I was just pokin at ya California does ruin all the fun things though. That is true

 

Agreed

 

One of the jackets fits quite nicely. The one I like the look of more does not fit. May try and get a large and see how it fits

 

we need pictures!

 

Not happening haha. I’m waiting for the 3rd jacket to come in tomorrow. Can’t decide what I want to do. I really like the look of the jacket that’s too small in the sleeves, but I’m not sure going to a large will even make a difference. The 2nd leather jacket was slightly loose, but almost perfect and will probably be perfect with the helite vest on.

 

Which one didn’t fit and what size? I ended up ordering the raider in a large today.

 

my Alpinestars jacket that Im selling was perfect in the arms, but I guess my stomach got bigger, so its a little high there. At least I can pull my shirt down a bit, so I dont flash everyone

 

The vendetta didn’t fit in a medium. The body tightness felt great, but the arms were way too short.
The Olympia bishop had great arm length but maybe is a tad loose. But I cranked the sides down and if I have the helite vest on I think it’ll be perfect.

 

Damn. The only airbag vests you can refill yourself are only for over your jacket. Not sure if I should just get their jacket now

 

Anyone have any suggestions on why my CRF dumps gas when I put it on Reserve? When it’s set to off or or on, no leaks. But once I turn to reserve it just dumps gas out

 

Petcock might need to be rebuilt. Kits are usually pretty cheap and it’s just a few gaskets and o rings.
