Should I get Crash Bars or Center Stand for my ghey bike?

Wich and why?

>>16949334
Centre stand, for ease of maintenance.

I have a long standing dream of moving to Seattle, or at least the general area

we all know it's rain city 8 months out of the year

how much does it affect riding? I'm not talking about comfort, I can (and will) always get rain gear.

I mean in the actual technical aspect. Here in florida I can rip around corners because the roads are hot and dry. Can you still hoon well out in SEA considering the wet pavement most of the time?

>>16949334
Crash bars, because ADV bike riders crash so much they make GSXR brahs look like rossi.

>>16949343
Riding in the rain, day in and day out, no matter how good your rain gear is, is fucking miserable.

>>16949334

>>16949403
I ride through summer storms and hurricanes so it doesn't faze me too much

>>16949440
Yeah but those are warm.

I mean if you're up for it, go for it. I lived in Oregon and rode nonstop for a year and it is genuinely not fun when it is 42 degrees out and it's raining every single day.

>>16949446
the cold's never bothered me, I'm a butcher and they keep the cutting room I work in 50 every day. Sure riding in the cold is another thing, but I've ridden through winter and it's not too bad.

The only thing I could see bothering me is the dreariness but I think I could deal as long as I could ride my bike.

>>16949343
>Can you still hoon well out in SEA considering the wet pavement most of the time?
You can't really hoon too well in the rain. Clutchups often don't work because it just breaks traction, speeding can fuck you over if you need to emergency stop, can't lean as far, etc.

And a good day to you gentlemen, is this a place we can talk about vintage motos? I have plenty of cool photos taken with my Canon Mkiii of other builds at latest instagram moto meetup in Brooklyn. There was plenty of delicious cappucinos to drink and fine suits spotted among the gentry.

if you live in a big enough town you should be able to get parts here and there

>>16949582
Probably a bit better. If you want to live in the region but don't want to deal with as much rain you could move to the Oregon High Desert.

>>16949478
Alright then. If you want to, go for it. I'll tell you though it's shitty. It doesn't sound like you care though, so I'll stop beating a dead horse but you've been warned

>>16949788
Perhaps a bit too optimistic... Well I don't know what this specific bike weighs but I would guess 515-535 or so. So yeah around 500 lbs. No?

A stock 1st gen Bus fully wet is what 580 or so? A stock 2nd Gen Bus is about 586 fully wet. That is full stock and full wet...so just accounting for a nearly empty gas tank instead of full will change the weight at approximately 6pounds per gallon on a 5.5gallon tank. So just that alone will drop weight down about 30 pounds. Still think no?

I'd do centerstand but I don't make a habit of crashing. If do, get crashbars.

>>16949995

Thought I seated them properly, might tear it apart tomorrow to check. Could a stuck float needle valve be causing this issue?

>>16949334
where can you find center stands anyway? All I can seem to find are model-specific 300 dollar stands for harleys. Are there any universal aftermarket ones? My bike's model year is a bit of a unicorn unfortunately

>>16950092
Are you sure gas is coming from the gasket? Because if you seated it, there's a good chance your right and it's pouring out of the vent tube or the barrel itself

>>16949519
Old parts aren't hard and vintage Jap meets are fun. If you can make Barber Vintage it's IMO da best motorcycle event in the US and the museum alone takes a very full day to see.

BTW legit classic Jap cafe machines with custom racing frames like Rickman or Seeley are fine as fuck and major upgrades in handling over their donors. They were the way to get a Jap sportbike before factory Jap sportbikes existed. They are more classic than the donor street machine.

Vent tubes are clear, nothing coming from them. Should I use any fuel resistant gasket dressing or just put the gaskets in as is?

>>16950092
If that's the issue it tends to dump fuel out the overflow pipe, but I can see it being possible. Had a stuck needle valve on mine due to shitty chinese replacement parts being oversized and getting jammed half-open.

If its the float itself there's a slim chance you can free it by giving it a tap with a hammer. not likely, but you can do it without stripping carbs. Realistically though, gaskets are consumables, and considering it's got a carburetor, I'm guessing the seals aren't particularly new if you used the old ones.

Second for had this happen (stuck float valve causing flooding.). I never used any kind of dressing on the gaskets for what it's worth.

>>16950122

Gaskets were brand new.

>>16950096
They are model specific and are pretty expensive.

>>16950141

>>16950159
Can't pick up an old oem one for a bike that has similar mounting area dimensions and make it work via modifications? Would be relatively cheap would think

>>16950134
NO dressing on carb gaskets. They are meant to swell slightly when exposed to fuel.

Floats shouldn't stick but one way to test without putting da carbs on da engine is to use a dummy tank off the motorcycle. At the shop we leak check rebuilt carbs for a few hours.

Is your Viton tip on the float needle perfect with no ridges, or new? You can hold the carb in operating position without the float bowl then gently move the float through its range of motion to see why it might stick.

Old floats can sink as they lose bouyancy. You can compare with known good floats in a pan of petro. Outdoors, of course...

>>16950144
Check aftermarket units for how they clamp to the frame when looking for examples to copy.

>>16950183

My bike's an '83 GS550e so it's possible the floats themselves... don't.

>>16950159
I use heavy duty pantograph style truck jacks AKA "scissors" jacks pretty often to lift bikes. I usually put down the sidestand then jack under the opposite frame rail.

If you can ever score a J&S or Bulldog motorcycle jack they shit all over the Harbor Freight narrow units (which are still vastly better than nojack).

they're good tyres and cheap as hell, they're awful in the rain though and they're likely overkill if it's your first track days anyway.

if you're planning on commuting and road riding on the tyres too I'd probably recommend something like the S21.

So if you take a 50kw bike and lower it to 35 does anyone actually check to make sure it matches your license in the UK? (asked in /mo/ and accordingly didn't get an answer)

is buying a bike from a dealer less painful compared to getting cars from dealers?

cuz you can own it within short term and it's all yours. i just really wished it was that simple getting cars but nope they just love to jew the fuck out of you, especially if you look young they'lll take advantage of that shit

youre saying its impossible to go 114mph after a week or so of riding? What if you never saw that light before. Didnt have the owners manual because its an 05/06 636 so you obviously bought it used.

I actually have the same bike and this light freaked me out when I was opening it up on the highway a week or so after I started riding
I didnt know what it was either

It's a little better than the R40, but because the 40 is smaller and can be mounted further forward, I can attach it to the two quick hooks on my Perun rack instead of through the holes and just loosen it slightly to remove it and fuel up.

>1) Large, glove friendly, trigger guard.
>2) Controls that are easy for a gloved hand to >manipulate (alternatively minimal controls)
>3) Compact or pocketable sized.
>4) atleast .380 cartridge or better power/ME.

Hmm. Well for simplicity I would go for a striker-fired with no external safety. Carry hot and pull and bang. Also with those you typically get more space in the trigger guard compared to a lot of SA/DA hammer-fired. Look at pics and see wut I mean. The trigger themselves are usually set further back giving more room

As for caliber I would go for a 9x19 way before I would go for a .380...I frankly see no good reason for .380. anything .380 can do 9x19 can do better and cheaper.

As for size yeah compact would be about the smallest if you still want to be able to manipulate the weapon and have solid purchase. When you go sub-compact you inevitably get more muzzle flip, shorter sight radius, smaller everything (including guard) etc..

but I don't know telling a man what pistol to get is like telling a man what his favorite color is. I will always tend to fall for 9mm / fullsize&compact (duty sized) / striker fired / double stacked / polymer framed. Having said that I am currently looking for a single stack that won't print as much when carrying.

Also, I do cc while riding and I have had no problem pulling and shooting a fullsize XDm. Now reholstering? Uhh not really

Guys, i have a "can with marbles" sound coming from my bike when I coast to a stop. Can't pinpoint where its coming from. Only when the bike is moving and only hear it over the motor when its idling when the clutch is pulled in.

OMG guys look at this niggabusa I found on craigslist. What drives people to ruin a perfectly good motorcycle like this?

https://jacksonville.craigslist.org/mcy/6073193755.html

>>16951996
how does it turn though

You guys ever see/been involved in a serious accident?

My roommate broke his leg in 2 places and got some bad road rash on his body on a ride earlier this year.

Shortly after that I came across a rider than rode into barricade, ripped his abdomen, and was holding some of his intestines in his hands.

I've had a few close calls with cars almost killing me, starting to wonder whether it's all worth it.

>>16952007
You get a naval map and plot out the manoeuvre.

>>16951992
LOL :hangs head in shame:

The sad thing is that Yokohama, even being a tire company, still makes a better can.

>>16952010
I've hugged some concrete blocks at speed, does that count?

I say it's worth it.

>>16952015
Yeah I still think it's worth it, just can't get dumb and careless. Just seeds of doubt is all.

>>16952010
Crashed my old 600 and snapped and dislocated/broke my arm. Was like 4 inches longer than my other arm. No blood flow...started turning blue/green. had to go to ER and have arm fixed...4 months of PT

Rode the bike home from the accident because fuck it.

Of the crew i used to ride with a few have died from squid shit in the city. Had a friend almost tear his foot off because squid shit. another busted his ribs all to shit because squid shit.

yup

Thinking about getting a gopro for recording cagers and the vistas. What's the best model for price and good helmet mounts? Shoei Quest if that matters.

>>16952057
are you going to do a tail tidy on yours? I want that and flush mount indicators.

>>16952038
Yeah had 2 friends write off their bikes at the end of the season.

One did a wheelie into the back of a car, cracked a few ribs on his fz07. Another was dragging the knee, went over some tar snakes and lowsided his R1.

Wasn't with them for either accident though.

>>16952057
Yi 4k if on a budget
Yi 4k+ if not.

>>16952057
Get an sjcam4000. Make sure it's not a knockoff, there are a lot of fakes. Costs 25% of the price and is 95% the camera.

>>16952081
Yi > sjcam unless you are unbelievably poor.

I have a gopro 3+ but its not setup very well and the resolution makes it look as though you are going faster than you are, but I have it covering the speedo anyway.

Also I'd advise against helmet mounting a gopro unless you get it on the chinbar and I dont think you can do that with a qwest. Reason I am against gopro's on helmets is they are a big square block so if you have a high speed off you've potentially got that bouncing your head off the tarmac instead of sliding. Also wind noise from the lack of aerodynamics. I also think you look pretty fucking stupid with a big camera on your helmet but that's just me. Alternatively use a chest mount. Gopro battery life is shit as well.

There are cheaper alternatives I regret not getting pic related. Half the price of the gopro too.

>>16951996
I don't think I've EVER seen an airbrushed bike that didn't look like complete shit.

>>16952093
I heard that the Gopro that was mounted onto Schumacher's helmet is what fucked him - the corner on the side of the camera caused the outer shell to split and negate the protection.

>>16951903
I buy Tyga exhausts

They sound good and cost half the price.

>>16952014
>Yoshimura
Nigga what bikes you riding? Yoshimura cans sound ridiculously good compared to the corresponding Akraposhit

>>16950757
>>16950712
Pls kys degenerate scum

>>16952114
Nobody thinks this

>>16952093
Chin mounted gopro/similar is the best perspective for moto filming.

>>16952070
These were the same ppl who would cry about having to wait for me to put on gear when they all wanted to ride in daisy dukes and shit. meh

But the worst is that the ppl who did the most dumb shit always wanted to do it in the city through intersections and other dumb places. Show-off/poser/squid shit...

One of the guys who died died because he just HAD to do a wheelie at over 100 in the city through an intersection. I wasn't there for it or i would have bitch slapped him hopefully beforehand to knock some sense into him. Another friend smashed his gsxr750 into a car because in the early morning he just had to get nuts in the city. flight for lifed him and he survived, but with brain damage. later died because the brain damage changed his whole personality and he started smoking crack and doing heroin. The upper/downer killed him

And i am no saint i used to do dumb shit too like repeatedly flying by a cop on my buddies R1 trying to find the power. it's there but up high so I was winding out first repeatedly (106 indicated derp) and would bang 2nd and still accelerate so yeah I was going 115/120 or so on a small city street with many intersections..was dumb as fuck.

>>16952126
no. no one cares about your /soc/ autism meet

fuck of back to >>>/soc/

>>16952067
I've not heard of that until now, I'll look into it. I do kinda wanna make it a nekkid. Pretty much gotta ride this till it dies after an engine replacement. Was probably gonna throw on an exhaust kit first though.

>>16952132
meets are a staple of /o/ kys sperg

>>16952136
Then start a new thread on /o/ for your /soc/ autism meet faggot.

Stop polluting /dbt/ with this cancer.

>>16952117
Again, what bikes are you riding? 125's sound good with an akra, I've a full yoshi system on my litrebike although it is from 10 years ago when they were making better stuff both aesthetically and audibly

>>16952121
I haven't got that loop bit of plastic and haven't seen it in the store but that's a good solution. The problem I have is at 720p and above the battery life is shit. I have mine mounted to the tank at the moment when I'm not using the chest mount. Problem with the chest mount on a sports bike is as soon as you get your chin onto the tank the camera doesn't show anything.

Pic related is the resolution being weird

>>16952137
yeah nah, go bitch when the euros do it

>>16952138
>its this dumbass again

>>16952136
So why don't you faggots start a meet thread and keep it alive with updates and surveys?

>>16952137
>a bike meet
>polluting /dbt/

I don't even

>>16952114
Bitch I ride a ZX-10R (Leo Vince Titanium) and a 919 (Sato racing Titanium) currently, but I have owned a few other bikes as well.

And anyone who says that Akra is shit is a FNG. Like you for example.

So let me get this right: I said that Yoshi was much preferred to the Twofags shit posted...and...you...agree?

OK then. faggot.

>>16952148
Hi there nobike :)

>>16952152
>meet bullshit in motorcycle discussion thread
>not startng a meet thread like everyone else on /o/

this SAM shit consistently turns /dbt/ to garbage and kills the thread.

You're turning it into shit.

>>16952169
I didnt bring up this SAM bullshit.

I'm sick of /dbt/ geting killed by you /soc/ faggots and your autism meets.

Start your own meet thread and gtfo.

>>16952038
What is squid shit

>>16952117
My buddy's got a Yoshimura on his R1. Sounds amazing.

>>16952160
Then don't reply you fucking mongoloid. You are the reason it dies, not because someone posts a fucking poll

>>16950712
Details please.

>>16952167


There are a lot of good brands.

Again, ANYONE who says Akra is shit is a fucking dunce. It's not even up for debate. It's straight retarded.
