I honestly hated the yellow when I bought it, but it grew on me. It was the last '15 on the floor and wasn't going to spend a grand more for a different colour.

not a problem if it's hanging off like that then?

>>17735694
I would just slide it back up if you can

Its probably cheap or the type of part a bike wrecker would iust give you. Keeps dirt and water from rusting/gummying up that joint, not really essential but good to have anyways

>>17735694
that little joint could get crusty if grit and grime gets in there, but it's not like your engine is about to seize or any other sort of critical failure.

>>17735676
It's a cover to keep dirt and shit out the linkage. Just pull the cover back over it

Took the MSF advanced riders course today, as it is required by the military. Learned the 696 can fucking divebomb into corners/swerves, had a blast ripping it around cones. Engine definitely didn't like lugging behind everyone who was going super slow, but it was good practice.

Not yet, it's a BMW. The engine outlasts the rest of the bike usually.
Might need to look at another end-drive though and new calipers, master cylinder, valve covers, handle bar controls and exhaust.

Roughly as in it's not the exact counterpart, but close.

Only thing is, it's a 20yo bike. So I'm comparing it to a 20yo sportbike as well.

>>17736596
With a mat. There's a couple of methods for picking bikes by either pushing backwards while gripping the locked bars and a piece is the frame or by leveraging the bike vertically with the bars. You want to avoid using your back of course.

A lot of advanced rider training courses get you to do it with your own bike or fuck huge beasts like r1200rtp

>>17736596
>SV650
If its dropped, you will never pick it back up.
Suzukis weigh as much as the earths core.
Its a good thing they dont produce any power. Otherwise they would throw the earth out of rotation.

>>17736596

If it's got frame sliders then you can just set it down gently. In theory, even without them, you can slowly let it down and not cause damage. That's a risk, though.

I would say practice a way of letting it down easy while supporting it. In theory, if you can let it down under full control, you can probably pick it up in the same way. Most people either put their back to it and lift with their legs, or squat down and pick it up kinda in a power clean type motion.

>>17736484
That's what I was thinking too.

I might just uss it as a pot plant decoration or something..

Atleast if I started with just a frame novody could conplain that I ruined a classic bike by doing what I want with it though.

Dropped this twice.
Picked it back up with moderate ease.
It's heavy yes, but not ridiculously so.
Also, when I dropped it both times, I knocked part of the exhaust off, I had more trouble with that.

Hypothetically if I was to find parts to build my 1975 cb550

Where would I even look?

Original parts are too expensive so probably go for a cafe kinda look despite people hating it.

You never answered if you have an engine or just a frame.

Anyway, ebay, junkyards, z1enterprises, z1parts, webike, partzilla, hondarestoration dime city cycles, partsnmore, any bike shop can order emgo for you...

>>17736712
Just a frame.

I will likely just put pot plats in it.

All the old 1970's cb hondas where I live are already modified or restored.

Whe one that can be uswd as a project is for sale they always want too much.

>>17736712
Thanks btw.

>>17736272
I'm 6'5 and daily a 2013 R1. I find it comfy as fuck

>>17736733
I'm guessing the frame was stripped for a reason... Like being bent, or just being a parts bike. Or stolen, so anything without a serial number was sold.

You may need to look farther away for the vintage bike you want. I went close to 400 miles to get my KZ1000, totally worth it.

Dealer has had my fz09 15 days now. Still waiting on recall parts to fix shit that I didn't even bring it in for. Life is suffering.

I did get my 250 sorted though. Torn o ring on the idle mixture screw. Think I need to shim the needles as it has slip one and still isn't quite perfect. No more random dying though.

He said it was originally bought to replace the frame of a bike that got ran over by a truck but he never did it.

>>17736788
I agree that where your like to find an engine your like to probably find a broken bike/free frame with it. Your probably just as well off finding any neglected non running bike if you want to torture yourself.

May be common? I had some oil weeping suddenly and thought it was oil pan gasket. 12$ later I take the pan off and find that. Don't know when it happened, bike felt fine. There's some threads online and Yamaha had lots of questions revolving around how dank my woolies are. I suspect they're concerned it could be an issue.

By measuring.

Without engineering drawings.

It is a moto guzzi v50 mk3. Was made in 1982 and is an air cooled v-twin with a shaft drive and the meme linked brakes.
Pretty rare in america, but the big block moto guzzi's are more common here.

Old post is old but it appears to be cleverly edited. As the guy moves across, they transition wipe what's on the right of him back to the beginning of the video whilst what's on the left of him continues playing as normal. Creating a smooth transition back to the beginning of the video. Look at the trees in the background on both sides and you can see what I mean,

I just want to know what could be causing my frames swing arm to sit about 1 cm closer one one side.

Does it 100 percent mean the frame or swing arm is bent or are there other things that could cause this?

I am a bike noob and don't want to get trolled on fb for asking dumb questions.

This may be true, but yours is going to be.

Really depends on the car, but touge is all about grip and you can never get as much grip on 2 wheels as you do on 4.

>>17737307
A touge shouldn't have a lot of straights.
It's somewhere that it's less about power and more about ability.
So it being faster really comes down to the rider and how he can handle curves.

That's not telling at all...


You don't need a hear indicator. There are only two gears: "The right one" and everything else.

Otherwise, it's useable throughout the powerband, extremely fuel efficient, stupidly easy to work on, parts are everywhere, and it has better fit/finish than any other starter on the market.

...it's almost like Honda wants customers to buy another of their bikes.
Not that you'll absolutely need to. More hardcore owners are starting to push the 100k mile mark on their 500 twins.

Quite upright actually, and much less knee angle.
Still sporty due to my size, probably more of a sumo for most others.

I'm 6'4 /195cm with a 34' inseam.Only the mt-07 and cbf650 fit out of the box. With the latter lacking a bit of joie de vivre. As of all hondas of late. They have grown incredibly dull and safe. Regardless of the class.

>>17737787
Yeah the only nakeds that felt right were the SuperDuke1290R and (thankfully) the MT09.

wut anime is this?

I thought the 1970's honda CB's were like the number 1 hipster bike.

Can't find much info on even fitting alternative gas tanks and seats.

Am I looking for info wrong?

>>17737799
Because the top hipster bikes are, in order:
R80
R65
Cx500
Xvs
K75/100

Why are these more popular?

>>17737754
Yeah buy my SV, she'll serve you will and she's a blast.
12k km on the clock, 12k service done just last week.
Tuck'n'Roll seat, crash bars and a bugshield.

I rode the MT07 as well and I have to say I was not impressed. Maybe I was biased but it felt...flat. Kinda lame and at the same time sort of unstable?
Especially strange because I instantly felt comfortable on it's bigger brother
But maybe it was just a matter of suspension adjustments, who knows.

>>17737793
Haven't really considered that. Bit hesitant to get into italo-bikes. Had some bad experiences with them in the past. How are they for reliability.

>>17737822
I'm taller than you mate. With a bigger inseam.

>>17737831
Mine's decently reliable mileage may vary
