Put your bike inside your garage.

If you don't have a garage pull your bike inside your house. if you don have a house, only an apt, just expect your shit to be stolen anyways.

this jacket y/n

>>15880647
Se è usata non penso sia rigida, poi il taglio sembra casual, non è come la racing d1, quindi dovrebbe vestire come una giacca normale.

Ti consiglio di andare a provare le taglie in negozio però, dainese veste quasi sempre un pò attillata.

Sono stato in negozio ma non avevano nulla di 46-48.

Non ha inserti in tessuto sulla schiena, spalle ecc. ed esteticamente non mi piace molto.
Se non prendo un'altra giacca più sportiva che ho adocchiato la prenderò in considerazione.

>>15880700
Just get an anime jacket.

>>15880700
I like the asymmetric embellishments but that color is going to be hard to match unless your bike is Kawasaki green.

Sounds like you had some fun out there. I have yet to take my bike to the coast, but I think I'll make the trip sometime this fall.
It seems like a nice place to just cruise around for a day or two.

so /dbt/ i posted last night and got a good response but i figured id ask again

what are the chances that a bike that has been misfiring/staling at idle/low revs will shit the bed on me if i use it to commute

>>15881129
No, they're not. there are very few straight roads where I live specifically.

>>15881152
scary. very scary. twin I beam suspension is terrible, single master cylinder with 4 wheel drums brakes is terrible and it maybe makes 60hp at this point. Thing is fun as fuck, because of how bad it is.

shell be right m8 just rev the living shit out of it until it blows up

Very high as you're damaging the engine running it on a misfire.

Plugs and having the carb cleaned isn't that expensive.

>>15881156
why not just fix the issue which is likely the carbs are gummed up with shit?

>>15881167
my truck is very much a piece of shit, but I love it anyway. thing ran a 22.9 @ 59.6 mph. my goals are disk brakes and a 300whp 302 for it.

it's a work truck with a 4.9l i6. it's got 4.11s so that it can tow, and it has good torque but it has a boat anchor for an engine. probably weighs about 38-3900lbs. here's the rear suspension for reference.

I just went on a 40 minute ride to test out this suction cup camera mount and it was fun as fuck. Webms later but I really should upload it on YouTube in full. Then again, you can see the speedo throughout the video...

>>15881166

>>15881190

What day would you be heading down?

>>15881042

A shit leopard can't change its stripes. I'm probably going to sell it.

>>15881194
no idea, but probably a lot. the GVWR was for 7500lbs so it can probably carry about 2 tons or so in the back because the ship weight was 3500 (doubt that) pounds.

>>15881204
did you ruin the suspension when you made it a road bike?

>>15881202
I'd be ok with that. Probably be with a bunch of my riding buddies.
Not sure what days. It's only 80 miles ish away from me. So might just go the first couple days to see what it's about.

Probably the opening day fo sho

>>15881211

Nope, suspension is still the same.

i was expecting more my ute is rated to carry 1000kg in the back and it is tiny compared to that thing, surely it could take 2000kg no worries

>>15881198
i dont think so based on the symptoms

>>15881190
>how do you cope.
It happens intermittently, not every time I'm idling. I've grown accustomed to listening for when the rpms start to fluctuate and just let on a little bit slowly, and then roll off slowly. Also I try not to be stuck in traffic and keep it moving

Honestly I just think its BMW voodoo since every time I've taken it to the shop they haven't been able to find what's wrong

>>15881237
I guarantee you can put as much weight as you want, the real worry is the brakes. my brakes are utter shit.

>>15881241
oh, im having it everytime i ride for more than 20-30mins now and it gets worse the longer i continue. it starts slow with the idle sounding a little off but by the end its a shitshow bellow 3.5k

What kind of boots do you guys own? I always have the toughest time deciding on any kind of clothing/gear. I live near Seattle so something waterproof is gonna be greatly beneficial.

Is the jump from, say, regular no-name waterproof membranes to Gore-Tex gonna be huge? The price difference is pretty significant. I am looking for something I can wear pretty much year round though, so I can probably justify $200-250 if I have to. I normally wear a size 11W, 11.5 or 12 depending on the fit.

I also have very narrow legs that doesn't help much, I'd like something that my leg isn't swimming in, either. I'm 6'2" and 155lbs.

I'm a little under 200 away, but it's an easy ride.
If I can convince a friend to come along I may show up.
Would you be getting a hotel or what?
I think I might just pitch a tent over at one of the camp grounds in Kitty Hawk.
Also, I probably wouldn't leave until Friday if my friend comes along. If I decide to go alone, I would come for opening day I imagine.

>>15881259

remember, if you put the carb back together wrong, or get too much dust in it, you're fucked, start over

>>15881285
I'm EFI dough

>>15881272
havent seen it but the cop said it was just scratched up

>>15881273
the carb has two jets most likely, one for revving, and one for idling. it sounds like it's running rich because it'll run great when it's cold with the extra fuel, but once it warms up you won't get a complete burn, you'll get fuel building up and every once and a while it will misfire/fire poorly and start to die

look up your proper carb tuning specs, or if you have exhaust/intake mods specs for that

the idle air:fuel screw allows you to adjust the richness of the idle but only a little bit. should be on the bottom of your carb somewhere

>>15881272

>also tfw no more farkles

>>15881288
If cyllinder seems like it isn't firing, look at the spark plugs first

Injectors sound likely if it's just at idle. There's enough fuel getting through with a more open throttle to cause some combustion.

disclaimer: i'm a shit mechanic and it took me two weeks to figure out the rubber boot on a carb was dry-rotted

>>15881277

And my day is pretty bland so far, gonna go to a marching band competition with a friend in a bit. I may go ride around first, but who knows.

I'm not in the hospital I'm home.

It may have been something other than dragging, but I was dragging the peg through the turn. I was only going maybe 25.

Is it safe to hang up a helmet by the chin straps always? Or can it weaken their stitching?

Sounds good to me. Just let me know day and time youll be there and ill see if I can't make it.

>>15881387
Fuck yea man. It's all scenicas fuck down that way. So plenty of things to see and nice cruising in them parts

>>15881385
If the battery isn't there. None, unless you fill that gap with a capacitor. If you have a dead battery hooked up, most should run when started. Some of the newer ECUs will put your bike in 'limp' mode so you don't cook your charging system.
Modern carbed dirtbikes can run happy with just a capacitor.

That can depend on what bike it is. A lot of BMWs and some Hondas in the 80s had EFI and they need juice if they have been sitting a while to start. Also, many bikes did not have systems for lighting and ignition.

If you want to buy a bike that has a 'dead battery' get a portable jump starter and give it a whirl. Unscrupulous people will often use the dead battery to hide serious issues like blow-by or a leaking gasket.

>>15881421
I'd start with the smaller size. I started with a Large thinking the same thing, they seemed comfy in the store but after trying them out riding the wider knuckle protector and bunching up of material made me realize I should have gone smaller. Anything with some leather will also break in a little bit, so I'd go for something snug for sure.

Yeah, the other one you watch out is them saying the carburettor needs adjusting, when they're usually covering for something else and more expensive being wrong with it.

Is it common on sport bikes to have your hand hit the windshield when fully turning the handlebars to either sides? I have raised clip-ons if it matters.

>>15881525
No, it's not normal. If it doesn't bother you, I wouldn't worry about it though, unless the handlebars themselves hit it

>>15881535
I only notice it when backing out of a parking space or doing extremely low speed maneuvers.

>>15881493
How much were those flush mounted blinkers?
Do you have another set on the rear that I can't see as well, or are just the side ones sufficient?
I'm stuck with hand signals right now because I no one can see my turn signals from the back.

>>15881541
I used to hit my knees on the handlebars in low speed maneuvers, but that was a CT-110.

>>15881566
I have an intergrated tail light so all my blinkers work.

>>15881576
is this wr anton

>>15881576
I ride motorcycle as an escaping mechanism and I don't need to see this in my safe space.

>>15881480
Bringing a jump starter is a good way to see if they are legit. Another thing I bring when looking at any vehicles or looking with a friend is a endoscope camera, that lets you see into the real tight spots on a bike or car. This saved a friend from buying a CBR1100 that had JB weld beaded along the base of the cylinder bank. The seller didn't want us to take the fairing off. She said her ex-boyfriend had 'fixed everything' before they broke up.

>>15881581
eh Ill probably just get the flush mounted ones and call it enough. I don't wanna spend that much to get a new tail light assembly, and its legal where I live to have no turn signals at all.

Similar shit happens when I wot power wheelie.

Helmet, jacket, jeans, gloves and riding boots that extend at least 3 inches proximal of the malleolus. Jacket has shoulder, back (wide, covering the kidneys) and elbow pads; jeans have thigh and knee pads. Jeans and jacket must have aramid along the impact zones.

I have Marfan's so I'd need to get a 1 piece custom tailored to fit me properly (I have a torso that's a small T shirt size but arms that are a long enough to require at least a large).

A reminder that the only gear that will actually save your life is a helmet. Maybe a rigid chest protector which nobody but motocross guys ever wear. Nothing else protects against broken bones either.

Why only my helmet is good, if I low side I'm willing to accept some missing booty meat as part of the price of admission for riding a bike. I wear gloves because getting dinged in the knuckle by a random 75mph pebble is an experience worth doing only once. Everything else is an afterthought compromise.

Instead of jeans would something like nylon hiking pants or cotton-poly pants offer more abrasion resistance? I've never seen nylon pants get holes worn in them, but the material is thin, too.

I dunno what non motorcycle pants would be best in a slide.

>>15881776
I'm hoping it's normal because I like the sound too. It's the first new Honda I've owned where I haven't considered a third party exhaust, I'm pretty sure they were going savagely after BMW when they designed it.

Jeans. Hiking pants rip really easily.

>>15881787
Nylon will melt in a slide leaving you with melted polymer fused to your exposed subdermis. Jeans (for me, at least) doesn't refer to straight denim, it refers to either a denim-aramid blend or denim with an aramid lining.

>>15880911
It's your call, but I suggest spending time on Harley forums (this is not one) to learn what years and models do what you want.

I prefer Dynas for comfort and better handling than Softails. Softies exist as the heir to the old style swingarm frames and the rear fork is to emulate old hardtails.

I would prefer the Sportster to a Softail. The rubbermount Sportsters are good machines and quite reliable.

xlforum is THE Sportster resource.

BTW anyone referring to Sportsters as "beginner" or "girls" bikes is ignorant of HD history.

I am leaning more towards a mid to late 90's solid mount regular old 1200 because they are stupid cheap, like 3 grand for a low mile well maintained 1200. I figure if I want to make it sportier, I can throw on some better brakes and better forks but I am not too worried, I would rather just cruise around than race.

I like the sporty, they are cool little bikes with great reliability and aren't that much. I would like a dyna, but those are more laid back than what I want in a bike. what do you have?

can anyone recommend a good pair of summer riding pants? like 95F hot?

Bull-it Sahara chinos. Extremely comfy, the light colour stops them getting too hot in the sun and the lining keeps the outer layer from touching your skin while also allowing some air to circulate up the legs.

Power brakes ain't hard to retrofit nor are front disks, but they cost a bit. OTOH those old Fords will last a lifetime and parts are cheap.

Nobike here, I was planning on buying a dirt bike after I move however between issues with transportation and wanting to ride it for relatively short trips on the street I figured a dual sport would be a better option. Anyway how bad of an idea is this if my main concerns are not crashing and not killing myself if I crash?

I have an FXR, an FXLR (an FXR for midgets, FXRT fork install in progress to cure that), and two Shovelhead Low Rider. Miles Engineering chassis Trident and 74" stroker Ironhead in slow progress.

I like your solid mount Sporty choice more than a rubbermount since lighter and plentiful and still has the trap door so trans work doesn't require splitting the cases. Mid to late 90s has the alternator on the crankshaft (I forget the cutoff year) which beats the alternator/clutch basket silliness. A rubber Sporty is a good bike but weighs close to FXR weight.

You won't really need a fork upgrade but a front brake upgrade is a VERY good idea. Lots of options. Fab Kevin and others make sportbike caliper adapters, and adapters to fit four-piston Harley calipers are available. I threw two of those on my '88 FXR and it stops much better than the stock shit I ran since new.

If you are handy you can buy some Harbor Freight transfer punches to run through the fork leg mount holes and make your own simple plate adapters. There are other ways to measure but every mechanic should own transfer punches.

You can use late 39mm dual disc fork sliders to mount later HD calipers instead of adapters. I don't have that parts book but someone on xlforum will know. You can also swap front ends, but axle diameter changed so collect all the info before shopping.

I'm "farmall" on Chop Cult and elsewhere.

If you buy a Harley, get the factory parts book and factory service manual. Clymer/Haynes/Chilton etc are too general.

Your third-world trucks are pretty cute :^)

>>15881878
They do in the South, but freight would suck. I prefer the F250/350 versions too.

My '76 has an F100 cab and title, F250 frame and running gear, and F350 rear spring pack plus wrecker-style overload springs. Drivetrain is a Lincoln 460 w. Holley 650, mild cam and C6 trans.. I have a Holmes 440 boom on it.

I don't really like small blocks in such heavy trucks. 460 is a bit thirsty but not thirstier then a built small block. A moderately built 300 has small block displacement and good torque, and a 351 Windsor is an excellent truck engine.

If you are gonna mostly do light street use you may not need the eight lug axles. The 9" rear and F100 suspension swap.

If you find an 8-lug 1970s van with discs, one I-beam is too short (I forget which side) but the rest will swap and you can swap the spindle onto your beam.

In the summer I usually wear shorts, a t-shirt, gloves, and a helmet. Now that it's getting colder I put on a hoodie and jeans.

has anyone owned an aprilia sxv550 or some other high maintenance bike, what kind of shit should i expect to be doing and how often, beside changing oil every 2 meters or some shit

Don't be a tit.

Jokes aside, that is in really good condition. Most people hate them but those that have them love them.

From what i understand it doesn't run but his father is fixing it up

>>15883065
There is a wealth of information on the owners forums and despite it being one of the first bikes with fuel injection they can be worked on and repaired.
