Here is the basic frame design I was thinking of. Kind of a tri-force looking thing going back into a swivel hitch.

Damn I was in Orlando last night at 2am, shit was crazy

So I bought this old ratty motorcycle. The left mirror was afixed to the bars with JB weld, I went to adjust it one time and it snapped off in my hand. I then later dropped the mirror on the road.

I ordered a new set of mirrors, they screw into bolt plates on the cheap plastic mounts for the headlight/turnsignal control and brake fluid mount.

Obviously the bolt plate on the left is fucked if the PO JB welded it. What's a better solution for mounting the replacement mirror to the bars?

Why didn't you power slide in then do a killer wheelie, putting the front tire on the shooters chest before mashing both brakes, slamming all of your bike and you into him onto the ground, then crushing his chest like some kind of action movie special effects stunt guy

>>15253031

I'm trying to put a trailer hitch with saddle bags. I'm going to use 20mm ammo boxes for saddle bags, then I'm going to build a trailer and wire it and my bike for the lights. I'm looking for kind of a third worldly/ mad-max aesthetic.

>>15253095

>>15253095

>>15253073
IT surely could not be mounted both to the swingarm and rear fender.

I believe you could bolt the ammo cans to the stock luggage rack, then rig something that bolts to the axle nuts or to the swing arm for the trailer. Not sure one assembly could do both.

It's not on the swing arm. It goes from the passenger pegs up to the grips/where the indicator is.

>>15253134
>Implying most modern bikes are not fuel injected
They will be entirely hydrolic, run on hydrogen or electricity, have gyroscopic stabilizers so no more high sides or lowsides, and the kick stands will be telescopic (press a button, it telescopes out, press it again and it retracts)

>>15253137
Eh, people buy motorcycles because they're simple. Electric I can see, electric vehicles are a thousand times simpler then anything that uses a box full of explosions to run.

Not sure where all these rare earth metals for all these batteries will come from in 10 years though. Already rare enough as it is without many EVs on the road.

I see some TWs, GUs, nice bikes. There were rebels at mine, too. I rode an xt. Good times.

>>15253349

Is this the dakota county course?

Well I finally found the source of my clutch fluid leak. The slave cylinder had some places were it was worn out so it wasn't sealing. I'll have to buy a whole new unit for nearly $140

>>15253356
they had 3 groms, 2 TW200's and 1 suzuki dual sport I never checked the model on, the rest were all TU250's. The instructor said there were plans to change all the bikes over to groms. I wanted to try one, but figured it would be a better idea to learn on the heavier bike.

>>15253373
I'd guess a DR200 for the yellow suzuki dual sport I see on the side. I can see why they want to change to groms, so light and easy to maneuver.
I guess that means places all over will start liquidating their low-cc dual sports in the near future haha.
>>15253376

I rode pass earlier, shoulda' stopped and check for any qts.


>>15253379
>How is it?

I didnt take the course at dctc, i took the one in the east metro over at century......7 years ago, but the course itself is easy.

I've got an 07 cbr600rr. Getting a K&N, bazzaz kit and tune, and an arrow full system. Is it worth going for titanium, or is stainless steel almost the same? If the titanium gets those coloured tinges like the blue, then I'd be all in.
Is the weight saving worth it?

>>15253379
lots of fun, I'm really happy I went there rather than buying a bike and having no guidance on practicing. I had never ridden a motorcycle before and had some really stupid ideas of what I wanted from a first bike. I know that I have a lot to learn and have an idea of the things I want to practice and how I can practice.

>>15253149
rare earth metals aren't that rare. And as they're needed, they'll find them, including finding old mines that can be reopened for rare earth metals or new ones too. And there's always recycling.

should i always make sure that any bike i am looking for is water cooled?

>>15253282
Wanting to ride that and having all vehicles banned are two different things.

>>15253327

nothing wrong with air cooled bikes.

>>15253349
MSF and the local airport already have arrangements because they have a shipping container as permanent storage.

>>15253477
Depends. If you're going to be in a lot of stop and go/ under 30 mph get water cooled. If you'll mostly be on the freeway aircooled is fine.

>>15253349
After looking up exactly what goes into the test I'm a little nervous. I know I'll have 2 days of practice but they seem pretty easy to fail to me, although I'm completely inexperienced.

I'm taking mine next month, does anybody know what bikes Washington Motorcycle Safety Training uses? I know they do the riding portions in the Boeing parking lot, which seems pretty perfect.

I know they require gloves, boots, and a helmet for these, but would I look like an idiot if I showed up in a jacket and kevlar jeans too? I'm not sure what all I should go out and buy before the class. Would regular non-riding boots generally be alright?

>>15253510
I didn't practice at all and passed first try. Just keep your feet up and your fingers on the brakes. I saw someone go through at nearly idle speed, it's almost a joke.

>>15253373
Shit there were a bunch of barely running XT250, TW200, Honda Rebels, and an old Ninja 250 in my MSF course.
The shifter and rear brake pedals were bent inwards on the bike I got and none of them had brake lights and side mirrors.

>>15253432
I'm a bit torn. There is a naked SV650 on craigslist, and a GS500F at a local place. I really like the look of the SV but I've never thrown a leg over on one. I don't know how either feels to ride, but I've heard both recommended.

>>15253510
I'm not sure what they will have exactly at your local, but I'm sure they will be 250cc or less. The whole point of the course is to teach people who have never ever ridden the basic skills of riding and giving them a point to go on from. I bought a Viper Air jacket because it was going to be hot as balls. Other than that I had steel toe work boots, normal jeans and mechanix gloves. Street stuff is fine, most people have long sleeve t-shirts on.

>>15253510
Also I showed up in an armoured jacket and knee pads. They really don't care too much. Go full gear. Anything that Will make you more confident

Sup dbt, i just bought a 2nd set of wheels for my xr600. I also just bought some sweet avon tires for the street and wanted to gear the new set of wheels for sticktly street use. Stock gearing is 14-48, I'm thinking of doing 14-42 since the new tires are 120-80 instead of 110-100. Will I need to shorten my chain? Pic related

>>15253510
The instructors showed up to my session in ATGATT or at least with bits and pieces. Some of the students were already riders, and brought gear of their own. No one will fault you if you bring your own gear.

>>15253510
I went in with no knowledge and still passed.
All you need to wear is a long shirt, pair of jeans, and boots that cover the ankles.
The course was fun and easy as fuck.

Trust me when I say that you do not need to be worried about it. You should have seen my face when I saw some of the retards they passed. You will be completely fine. You need a long sleeve shirt, long pants, and shoes that cover your ankles so some high tops or boots. Don't wear anything crazy cause you're going to need to be comfortable. Also glasses or sunglasses are required too

So I bought an 08 Buell Blast for my first bike ever. Did I do O.K. /O/?

Sometimes less power can help as counterintuitive as that may seem. There is a reason 250s are so popular.

explain why you guys chose the riding style of bike over the rest of the other bikes?

did you try all of them until you committed to this one over the other? or just decided to go with this specific bike and neer decided to ride the other riding styles? let's hear it.

for a total beginner i would personally reccommend getting a 250 dualsport for the first little while since they hold value and put up with drops and screw ups very well.
if you are set on a sport bike just make sure you get proper protection for it, sliders a minimum and a cage being ideal

the cbr500 really is not an intimidating bike at all, power wise they only have 35kw with a very smooth power delivery, the main reason why you would want the 500 over a 250 is highway riding, it won't struggle to do highway speeds.
plus the 500 ha a more comfortable riding position than a 250, its just going to last you longer before you are going "i want more power"

If you can get a cb400 they are better than a cbr500 in pretty much every way though.

Dual sports always looked badass and everyone thinks you're doing something hektick and badass standing up on a dirtbike going over railroad tracks. Also, I feel like going to a strictly road bike would be really underwhelming "I went over 100 now what?" But I mean I can go decently fast on road then hit some hecktik offroading or riding on sidewalks and then take country backroads home where every bump feels like nothing because superior suspension.

skid plate, bar guards and good tires

>>15254536
There is a reason for that
To fit all that shit in a wheel base that small the whole bike would have to be lifted up to get it out of the way of the wheels and put your center of gravity stupid high. Go find a stretched hyabusa and a regular one; let me know which turns better.

>>15254551

Another reason is to balance it. You could shorten the wheel base but you'd have a heck of a time keeping the front end down.

>>15254616
So, 3/8 round stock? Or thicker?

I'll try again since it was dead earlier. I just bought 2nd set of wheels for my xr600. I also just bought some sweet avon tires for the street and wanted to gear the new set of wheels for sticktly street use. Stock gearing is 14-48, I'm thinking of doing 14-42 since the new tires are 120-80 instead of 110-100. Will I need to shorten my chain? Pic related

>>15254666
you should be able to just use the chain tension bolt to set chain tension correctly. You won't be able to use the stock wear indicator for your chain and sprockets but other than that it should be fine.

>>15254663
As much as I like working with pvc I'm not sure it would be strong enough. I mean 20 pounds of ammo can+ whatever is crammed in it + a 50 pound kayak on a ??? Pound trailer?
