    Or make a post to trade yours for theirs on there

    This. Hard to sell stock pipes so people toss them out. Much easier to find someone with stock pipes installed and offer to trade. Offer in to do the swap yourself is added bonus. I had success with this approach locating a black V6 mustang bumper that I traded my stock gt bumper for.. Dude drove to my house and I took the bumper off his car, put mine on it, sent him on his way... Easy 

  2. Maiden voyage in the new kicks today.... They flow way more air than my old icon field armor and they're pretty comfortable. The sizing is a little odd and the cut is a little odd too, since you can't tighten the ankle adjustment...and I usually wear size 13 but I wear a 47 in these which I think is a 12. I've even worn them around the office today and they've been good for general walking too. Can't wait for them to break in just a hair. Overall would recommended them based on my limited use so far. 

    Thanks for hooking it up @RidersDiscount!

  3. These are the stock tires for my bike and they've treated me well. I'm on my second or third set. They hold up to slab miles and boiling hot lava pavement great. These are even the right size. Damn you for not posting these a couple weeks ago before I ordered a new front, I'd have grabbed this set from you.

    To anyone looking that hasn't used these, they're great tires. I have no complaints and I've really only had traction issues with them when I'm being a dumbass.

    Buy super low sell low(ish) has always been my moto. If I don't think I can break even in a year of ownership I walk. Unless it's something I know I'm buying for long term

    I bought my bike brand new... It's worth like 2-3k now, and it's been down once... After interest on the loan I paid like 11k for it total... I'll own this MF until I die 😂 I could never justify losing that much money on it... 

  5. Yea, I forgot signature pictures even existed. I haven't used the desktop version since mobile rolled out. Who tf uses tablets? I bought a Samsung Note and it has basically replaced my computer except for doing school work (which I'm done with) and work work, which requires two monitors. 

    Tim.... I think you're the one not with the times 😂

  6. So for 11k miles I've been riding with my adjustable clutch lever on setting #3/6....today though, the bike grinded slightly going into first gear from neutral leaving a light and then the next light it wouldn't go into gear at all... I kicked it hard 3-4 times and it went. Tried again at next light and same thing. Pulled over and clicked my lever to setting #4/6 (longer pull) and it works flawlessly again. I don't like the extra length though, the clutch doesn't disengage where I'm used to.... I'm just curious what could cause the lever to need adjusted after several years of no issues. Has this happened to anyone? Maybe the lever is wearing out?

    Do you also put 5w in a bike that specs 10w?

    Are you riding below zero because if not the viscosity of 10w does not change.

    I am well educated on the subject thank you. The problem here seems to be that you are not able to properly apply the knowledge you have to the situation.

    The lower number is the viscosity at zero. 10 is perfectly acceptable unless you ride below zero.

    So, do you ride below zero?

    I feel like I'm reading a transcript of the special Olympics here... Of course he doesn't ride below 0 so who gives a shit if it's 5 or 10 🤷🏻‍♂️.... I expect better trolls out of you than this, Tonic. Failure.
