  1. 275s on 9s up front, 315 on 10.5s in the back is the way to go
  2. you can fit a 315 lowered....these cars can fit big tires, theres no issues, even if you went with the sportline springs from eibach, which are to my knowledge the lowest drop available for these as a "kit"
  3. I'm going to be starting a project this fall to convert my CB to a 5 lug '14-'15 vfr setup....do you carry any rotors for a 2014/2015 VFR 800? Don't care if they're upgrades, or identical to stock etc....I'm currently considering having my stock rotors machined to match, but would like to price out vfr rotors also
  4. If price is the major factor, check out the fz09... But there's plenty of better naked bike options out there.. I'd take a used speed triple over a new fz09 without even having to think it over I don't own a speed triple, but I have a cb1000r and that's the bike all the riding mags compare to mine... I love my bike, it's the perfect machine for daily duty and weekend fun... Not super comfortable but overall not bad, the upright riding position helps with fatigue... Not sure how the seat on the triple is though... The power is plenty for a naked, as you won't find yourself over 80-90 often anyways Like I said, I haven't ridden a triple, but I've read countless reviews comparing them to my bike with a general consensus that the triple feels a little more snappy... I would have got one if I could get past the ugly headlight setup... But some people like that look Call around to dealers and find someone with a demo bike or used bike you can test ride
  5. Yea I didn't have time to wash it yet so it looks awful, like it just came home from battle... Made sure I parked at the end of the motorcycle parking at work to hide my shame lol.... Naked bikes suck in that regard, would be so much easier to just wipe down the fairings and go... Even my exhaust can is brown from the dust/dirt in the storm
  6. Motocat, I was under the impression this was only if you have a Windows account tied to it... If you don't log in with a Windows account then there shouldn't issues... Is that not correct?
  7. I had to buy all matte safe products for mine and it gets wiped down every couple weeks or whenever it looks dirty... The only time I ever really wash it is when I get caught in rain... Got stuck in a monsoon the other day and with fender eliminator, I have brown water spots all over the back of the bike and my jacket and there's water spots on everything... Gonna use my low power pressure washer and keep a safe distance... Dry it with a shammy and leaf blower
  8. I clicked the icon and it said I was put on a waiting list...Maybe they're rolling it out by region? Wouldn't let me download right away
  9. Damn, everyone on OR is always hating on Jinu
  10. Haha you actually can... But no I didn't. Apparently the local custom is to dry their skins and smoke them... No thanks lol
  11. I had problems with kriegers bodyshop and I continued to escalate all the way up to the VP of the dealership... I left him a voicemail and he called me back the next day, didn't ask a single question, apologized and told me to bring the car in and they fixed everything for free... Ymmv
  12. Forgot about this wind scorpion or whatever... Basically a camel spider Luckily I've got some natural defenses... We have these geckos and mantis everywhere And those psychedelic toads are the size of bullfrogs... I swear everything out here is just meant for death and destruction lol... Even the black ants will bite the ever loving shit out of you for no reason other than seeing you Gonna invest in pest control service when we move into new house for sure
  13. Be lucky you don't live out here... Fucking every bug out here is just bad news... I woke up to a "cow killer" crawling up my leg the other morning... Scorpion climbing up living room wall a couple weeks ago, more black widows than I can count (bumped into a big nasty fucker the other day)... I've probably killed 25 black widows, 4 scorpions, luckily just one velvet ant, and we get poisonous psychedelic toads that can kill your dogs if they lick one... I'm afraid to let my pets outside at night lol
  14. Do they make the black m4 for a 12 cb1000r? I just bought that yoshi r77d from you guys but the end cap is yellowing after 2k miles... Disappointed in the poor quality of yoshi... Maybe carbon fiber just can't handle the desert sun Not interested right now, due to funds, but curious if this will be a future option.... I may end up just spraying my yoshi system black
  15. Get the rf1200... It's so worth it. I have one with transitions shield and love it. It's pretty quiet and cools well. The vents don't get as much airflow due to my bike setup.. You may have similar issue... I think it's designed for a Supersport because if I tilt my head forward I get more airflow... Not enough to bother me, and I ride in 115+ degrees... The best part of the rf1200 for me being on a naked bike is the aerodynamics... I can go up to 90 or so before I even notice any kind of wind resistance with my helmet... Although I start getting pummeled by wind on my body a little sooner lol
  16. I did confirm with Tim that this in fact his jerkin hand. Rip little nub.
  17. Could be worse... My first lowside there was a police officer behind me... So on top of a busted up shoulder I also got to spend the night in jail and pay impound fees... Luckily it was rideable to get home since I was several hours away lol Glad you faired decently... Shit happens, just learn from the mistake that put you down and roll on man
  18. +1 on bigger screen... Switched note from galaxy s and I'd never go back My gf owns a 6+ and doesn't have any complaints... It's basically the same as every other iPhone except for screen size, so if iphones are your thing I imagine it would be fine
  19. Seems like 70 percent of microbrews I see are IPAs... Fuck is wrong with yall? IPAs are terrible. Nothing but hoppy bitterness, there's not even any real flavor besides hops
  20. So basically exactly what I said.... Gotcha thanks. Damn boy, you dumb.
  21. I'm not arguing about the escalation, only about the comment that he should be fired for enforcing a turn signal violation.
