When is Harley going to make a bike I want to buy?
>>14762228
whenever i see someone wearing one of those helmets i imagine how they would look without a chin
>>14762213
Remember the song:
>Don't buy Chinese bikes, here's why
>If you ride Chinese bikes, you'll die
>>14762241
Probably never.
Nogs never seem to stop amazing me. It's actually an accomplishment to own a legal motorcycle amongst their groups.

I almost got behind the Harley Sportster 883 Iron, but then I remembered I could just get a better-performing Honda Shadow at 1/3 the price.
I was working in a handbag showroom the other day and I saw this bike in the corner being used as a (maybe ironic?) fashion accessory.
What is the most American made motorcycle from the design, to the parts, and manufacturing?
Is it okay to flush my cooling system with regular water? I used flushing compound and distilled water afterwards but I've done that 3 times now and the water coming out is still shit brown, would be much faster if I could just hose that shit. Or will it rust the internals?

it was pretty depressing looking up what it might be worth. a high end hand built bike just sitting there holding up a handbag
>>14762360
pretty much anything short of sucking another dude's dick or getting fucked in the ass with eye contact is less gay than a trike
>>14762369

If it's just ornamental that's just sad.

>>14762333
Since you're just using it to flush and it's not actually staying in the system for any given amount of time, distilled water is recommended, although non-distilled water should be fine.

Metric twins and triples are cool too. But the smooth acceleration of a 4 cylinder and the screaming exhaust just cannot be beat.

So your bike is just going to look dirty all the time. I know you don't like bright colours but come on.
good angle.
>>14762488
If I recall correctly you basically loosen the triple tree nut, put the bike on you rear stand, straighten the front end, then compress the suspension a few times, then re-tighten the triple tree nut to the proper torque
Can someone, else confirm?

Offer him 1600, and if he gets the safety, tell him you'll pay for it as well. Ask for the VIN before you even go out to see it.

I'm going to fit 80/20 tires on it and take it off-road too, goes nicely with the survival/tacticool/streetfighter/touring thing I'm going with.
I dropped my bike, as in I put it on the sidestand, locked it, turned around and then it just fell over on te kickstand side.
Anyway a bit of the footpeg broke off, the clutch lever is bent slightly but no visual damage thanks to the engine protectors.
I'm wondering though, is it likelt that my forks or handlebars are out of alignment?
I can't test it because I also got a puncture not 500m after the drop.

>>14763229
Just say that then. Tacticool and survivalist are buzzwords for "shit that looks cool but I don't know how to use and probably wont ever need".
Also 80/20 might as well be rain tires. Get some chunky 40/60 on that bitch.

>>14763309
>that rear tyre
what?
>>14763439
>>14762292
Pretty, but still a Sportster. For a Harley it's very nice, but it ain't no road racer. Also pigfat compared to the sold-mount Sporties and if you ever damage ANYTHING that requires transmission removal you get to tear down the entire engine because the idiots who deleted the traditional cassette gearbox failed to make the new crankcases split horizontally. To split those vertical cases you get to remove both cylinders.
Break even a shifter fork and it's cheaper to buy a good used engine.
>>14763465
holy shit that is completely sexual
>>14762333
Go ahead and flush with tapwater. You will be filling with fresh coolant so no matter.
>>14763285
80/20 tires actually aren't bad off-road. They're no knobbies but they're significantly better than sportbike tires.
>>14762241
>When is Harley going to make a bike I want to buy?
They did. You did not buy it. Harley learned...
>>14762241
BUELL
>>14762453
>I have no idea. I'm not 100% certain it's the forks but my front wheel isn't straight when the bars are straight anymore.
Forks can twist out of alignment but not be bent. You can loosen the fender bolts, axle nut, and lower triple clamp bolts then align thusly:
Twist front wheel into visual alignment with handlebars. Apply front brake and shove forward on bars then release. Bit of a bounce. Eyeball straightness, if straight tighten lower triple clamp. Repeat bounce and eyeball alignment.
Tighten axle nut, repeat bounce and eyeball alignment. Tighten fender bolts.
This trick is AFAIK at least sixty years old (my mentorbro who showed me how is 78) but it works if your forks are misaligned but not bent.
>>14763525
That doesn't look like 2liters. And if it was it would rattle itself to death.
>tfw no WR450 Rally
Goddamn, I never liked rally fairings but now between this and the CRF 250 Rally my dick is hard as a rock.
>>14763531
CRF450Rally looks better than either IMO. The yamaha fairing looks weird how it sticks out from the center instead of going around the forks.
>>14763154
Probably fine after a mere sidestand drop.
>>14763530
>>14763203
>failed the safety course for the 2nd time. should i take it as a sign and give up?
"Failed" is not specific. What can't you perform correctly and in what manner are you doing it wrong?
Anyone got experience with KTM plastics? specifically 08-10
is there any difference between SXF and EXC-F plastics? Or the 250s and 450s?
I've seen a few with black plastics on them, fork guards, fenders, etc. I really want to get a set of all black, but I don't know if they will fit my EXC.

I don't trust myself to not do something supremely retarded while learning on something larger.
The SAM idea is starting to sound worse and worse. I just wanted to smash touge and shitpost for a few minutes IRL. I'm not sure if I could contain my autism long enough to spend hours with any of you
>>14763709
then get a 500. 500 is not too much power, you can ride one for a long ass time. I have already put around 10k on mine and I am trying to sell it for a VFR
>>14763709
A 500cc really isn't fast. It's not going to wheelie you if you accidentally touch the throttle or anything. In fact you would probably struggle to wheelie it at all unless you really try.
You should be more worried about your ability to handle dangerous situations than the bike.
However if you really want to start on a really slow bike go ahead

CBR is a one cylinder and Ninja is a two.

Why would you contain it? That's part of the beauty. You'll be meeting other autists and be free to let your autistic hair down.

it's only going to be 2 nights. Arrive early Friday, leave Sunday morning. ride the fuck out of glorious mountain roads, drink, go home. I've found a campground that has tent sites as well as cabins that way the group can be together despite people not wanting to camp, but no one has replied to the last email I sent out, so i'm assuming everyone is cool with it

I think my problem is that I keep reading articles about starting on a 250 and assume anything bigger will end up getting me killed.
Any 500cc street bikes that you would recommend?

GS500.
Really just avoid supersports. A lot of people make it out to be a dichotomy where you either buy a supersport or a 250, but there are tons of bikes in between that are really good options. I'm inclined to dual sports myself.

my autistic noises would keep everyone awake if I stay in a room with anyone else

Where are you and what's your budget? I have loved my cx500 though, cost a song and has been immensely reliable
