Bike talk: Motorcycle/Scooter chat thread!

As good as the wheel came out I think I'm gonna try to freshen up the paint on the swing arm... probably gonna be a bitch to do, but I also don't wanna put a clean wheel with shiny new sprockets and a gold chain on a nasty shitty looking abused 2002 swing arm. :lol:

Will update on that later.

Also gonna try to polish all the nuts and bolts for the caliper, sprocket, and brake rotor.

Decided against it :rolf:

If I keep the bike long enough I'll just strip it all the way down and paint frame and swingarm.

I am thinking about very temporarily using the wheel paint on the fairings... it'll look like complete ass, but it'll look better than the white with all the runs and scratches :lol:

Clip on/slip in was way more bent than I thought....

I don't normally wish physical harm to anyone, but the last owner of my bike should be castrated with rusty garden shears.

:rolf:

How the hell could you not feel that?

 

[94RS]

It was bent right where it comes out of the triple clamp, so it looked/felt straight from the seat...

 

[R13]

It looks bent to me :lol:

 

[94RS]

Now that we know how fucking bad it was and what to look for, of course it does :rolf:

 

[R13]

I've been on so many dropped dirt bikes with bent bars it's one of the first things I notice regardless :lol:

[R13]

What the fuck... :lol:

I could actually picture you wearing that :rolf:

 

[94RS]

Yeah.... I have one. :rolf:


How's that detailing thread going? :lol:

 

[R13]

I thought you were gonna start it :rolf:

I just clean my tires and wax my cars like once a year... not exactly qualified to start a detailing thread. :lol:

 

[94RS]

You did say you were gathering post material... To me, that sounds like you're getting shit to start it :rolf:

 

[R13]

I was just gonna post what I do when you posted it :lol:
