Bike talk: Motorcycle/Scooter chat thread!

Still in the garage up there, I gotta borrow a small trailer that I can pull up in my garage to unload it because the brakes or something are tight, that bitch is hard to roll.

 

[94RS]

Did you make sure it wasn’t in gear....? [emoji23]



Loosen the arm on the rear brake if it’s drum, put air in the tires and pull the caliper. Master cylinder is probably trash after sitting 15 years.

 

[R13]

Yeah it’s out of gear [emoji23]

I aired up the tires first thing because they were flat

Probably is the master cylinder/front brakes

 

[R13]

I’m just gonna leave everything and work on getting it running first

I can’t get it in my big ass truck so I have to trailer it anyway because there’s nowhere I can back up to and roll in, then I’ll deal with everything else it needs if I succeed.

Best off getting that set of levers with the master cylinder I posted. Worked fine on the KZ, never felt it was trash.



What’s hilarious about them though is that all the Ruckus and Grom Guys will buy this shit for $150-200

And then try to tell me that it’s COMPLETELY different than this so the price difference is justified

 

[R13]

Typical fuckas owners [emoji23]

Yeah that was the plan since it needs levers anyway. I threw together a small list on Amazon, probably won’t buy it all from amazon, but it helps my forgetful ass keep track

Also on that list are:
- Bar end mirrors
- Renthal waffle grips
And several different options for plate bracket/tail light, and that Krator prison grill fairing :lol:

 

[94RS]

You just had it find the rear signals that said Buell in the listing, huh? [emoji23]


Those are the same ones I got from Dime City Cycles for the KZ though.

 

[R13]

Those are the ones I had on the back of the F4, pretty sure you recommend them to me [emoji23] but they’re cheap, durable, and they look good.

 

[R13]

Look what I found

They also had these bad boys

Still probably get a street bob when the time comes unless I get lucky and find the fxdls

Out of the bikes there I’d buy that XR though if I could [emoji23]

 

[94RS]

Wtf were you doing at an HD dealer? [emoji23]

Rare to see an XR completely stock, and those Roadsters [emoji1303] Somebody put Vance & Hines short shots ($500) on the black one.

 

[R13]

I like to go browse occasionally and watch them get mad when they realize I’m just fucking around [emoji23]

I dig the roadster more than I thought I would, I’d deal with the small size of one came my way.

They wanted $17k for that fucking ‘17 street bob, they msrp for $13k [emoji23]

 

[R13]

I got it home, now to clean all the old tan mustang interior pieces out of my garage and make a work space for it.

The clutch gave out because it’s hydraulic too, so I need 2 master cylinders [emoji23]

 

[94RS]

 

[94RS]

Sorry, that was a China seller, so it’d take a month to get [emoji23]

Here’s the US seller

[R13]

There is potentially one issue with those, and that’s wether or not they pump enough volume to fully actuate the clutch

I’m still gonna try them [emoji23] but it’s a problem I may have, in which case I’ll figure out the solution then instead of now like I should [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]
