Oh look at this sleek, fast motorcycle...it would be a shame if someone bolted a fucking bucket to the ass end..... How long you known me? You haven't figured out by now I'm the function over form type? And how is it ruined? I just improved this bike functionality and the occasions I can ride it 10 fold. Five seconds the box comes off, another 10 min I can have the arms and plate off. All this while not affecting its performance or ridability . And before you say aero and wind drag look at the 6'4" monkey behind the bars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well since I work a lot of 12hour shifts and almost zero healthy options to eat from our vending service, i take a lot. I also eat my breakfast at work and usually take a couple powerade zeros.

B-Mac Posted October 11, 2018 Report Share Posted October 11, 2018 (edited) I agree Tim. Sometimes our needs must be met. I got this box free when I purchased my 2014 V-Strom. I have only use it for trips to the shooting range but it's a nice item to have on hand. Edited October 11, 2018 by B-Mac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That looks much better than the ones cantilevering the box out behind the rear tire. OTH that is a fugly looking box, especially on such a slick looking machine. The Vstrom is atleast similarly fugly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The flat rack that replaces the rear seat is a $$$Hepco-Becker$$$ pice that works great with soft tail bag or dry bag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Mac Posted October 23, 2018 Report Share Posted October 23, 2018 Returned from a 6 day ride with the wife to western KY/TN loop of back road areas. Great riding, cool morning starts, not much fall colors. Got home recovered bikes and gear. Slapped a new tire on the V-Strom and am ready to go again.

motocat12 Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 Finally got my oem header flange adapter welded airtight to my dual exhaust swap. You could also see light though the oem pipe on their flange weld bead edge 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
durk Posted October 30, 2018 Report Share Posted October 30, 2018 I got out for an hour and half or so ride after work today. It’s been a while since I’ve been on the bike. Only way it could have better is if I had more time to ride. I get Election Day off. I’m hoping the rain clears out that they’re calling for and I get a longer ride in then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSerfozo Posted October 31, 2018 Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 Yesterday I brought my HF tire changer to work and set it up out of the way in the corner of the shop. At lunchtime I helped a buddy change the front tire on his Ninja 650. He doesn't have a front lift that will work with the fairing so we put a strap around the upper triple and lifted it with the forklift! Should have got a pic... We knew we could get away with it because our two safety guys were at an OSHA class all day!!! 😀 He brought the rear wheel in today and well do that one at morning break.

I used straps attached from a hand-fork-lift to the frame of my old ducati to do an entire front-end swap 2 winters ago. it was stable.

We were planning to use the 20 ton hoist but the safety guys locked it out before they left for the OSHA class. 😕 Rear tire is on, we'll balance it on afternoon break in about 20 mins.

Qman Posted November 1, 2018 Report Share Posted November 1, 2018 (edited) Installed THIS on the R1200GSA. https://www.weisertechnik.com/shop/ultrabrights-extreme-bmw-motorcycle-led-turn-signal-indicators-axhzr-dsc8k Pretty happy with the product. Very clean look for added lighting. Very bright lights. But not cheap. One thing, there's no real waterproof-ness to the lens assembly, so you gotta wonder how this will last through rain and washing. There IS a 4 year warranty. Someday I may order the front kit, that turns your signal indicators into bright white running lights.

JustinNck1 Posted November 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2018 Took the FJR out for a ride yesterday. Rode twisties over to Seneca Rocks and spruce knob. It was chilly but nothing heating gear couldn't take care of. Just over 400 miles. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
