Here is an update to the lift, im almost finished with the Bike Vice. It works OK. I should have used square tubing, as opposed to the L angle. No where near me sells square tubing. I needed like 1x2 square that would be ideal. It still holds the bike well, and the addition of a swing arm lift makes it really secure. No straps needed. But I did add the u-bolts that were supplied with the lift, but put them underneath. I figured if i ever needed to use them, they would serve there purpose there. If not, I can flip them over. Ill never find them again if i put them anywhere else. In the photos the lift is on the lowest lock point. If you raise the bike all the way up to the top lock point, its really to high. It also make me nervous up there. Really tho, lifting the table all the way up makes for a nice bench with no bike on it. And when i dont need the lift, i can zip the bolts out of the bike vice, (welded nuts on underneath) and park the truck right over top of it.

So on this beautiful February day I decided to invest in a lift table. Great little table from harbor Freight for around 300 bucks. But I hate the wheel vice on it, so I immediately started to hack into it when i got it home. I am still in the process of fabricating a new Wheel vice that would allow one person to easily load and lock a bike.

Offer it to #Derekclouser first, if he doesnt take it ill pick it up. I have other stuff i should really buy first.

Interested, where are you located?

Thanks @TimTheAzn waiting to put in a day off work.

The girls in question, cuz everyone loves photos.

The bandit I just sold had the Two brother carbon fiber system on it and absolutely loved the sound and quality of it. Now my F4i has a Two brother slip on and it's not as good of quality, and not nearly as good sounding as the bandit was. Makes me wonder if my F4i is a crappy copy. I have been shopping and found the dalvic stuff, but worried about quality, being so cheap. If the cat is included with the silencer on this bike them I'll just get a slip-on. I really don't see a need to replace the header. Although I did just find a complete Two brothers system for the ninja for under $600 recently, and hence I started asking questions.

Can anyone tell me if the catalytic converter is included in the silencer on the ninja 650r (2012-2016 model years) . I am trying to decide on a slip on of full exhaust system. Looking at Two brother stuff if anyone has any experience with this bike. TIA

Ugh, sorry missed the link up there, ummm maybe depends on the day/cost. I can look into it.

Where at? As in what part of Ohio?

Welcome, I'm in Brunswick, not far. Keep the shiny side up!

Bike is sold, sadly

Hey, when are we going to nail down a date for this?

Lol, I have 2 others, and I'm trying to stimulate the "track day fund". I really am sad to see it go, but truth is, we are making payments on the wife's bike, and I traded the CRF to a CBR, and I'm flat out running out of room. This bandit was the bike I rode everywhere last year cuz the sound is just music to my ears.

Where did you find a 400, didn't think they let any of them in the US

Sorry to say, but the advanced class is not currently on the schedule right now because of the new curriculum. But we were promised an advance class curriculum before the years end.

Here is a video I shot a few weeks ago when I was bored... Starts nice in the cold. And it sounds amazing. Have a kid on the way soon, so I need to liquidate.

It's a 2001

Price dropped to 1500 to anyone that sees this add on the forum... I need the room, not the money.

Bump, sense im a Coach and absolutely love the course... Also everyone please note that it is a COMPLETELY new course starting this year, so i HIGHLY recommend everyone coming back and giving the new curriculum a shot!

I just lol'ed

Ugh, is this really a problem? I have been riding aluminum sport bikes for years and almost never have a case where the light won't change. At least in in my part of the woods in Medina county. I know back where I grew up, about 10 years ago there was one light, at night that wouldn't change for me, I did run it once, it was like 3am.

Kodi is a form of stealing, they will shut it down some day, so I wouldn't invest to much money into it.
