Anyone here run a full race bike on the street? I'm converting my bike to a track bike but I'd like to be able to hit the streets every once in a while. What do you do for lights?

Consider modular adjustments. That or some super flush signal lights. For three plate I'd say something that is either removable or just modding it so it's practically hidden behind the wheels.

I think it depends on what the cops are like in your area, your luck, and what you ride. If you ride like an asshole they're probably going to fuck you over on every offense they can find.

raw side-by-side everything looks better than GoPro. GoPro delivers the best neutral material for post-processing. If you can edit the results will surpass everything else, if not you will always be behind some chink cam.

tl;dr if you're not good at video editing don't get a GoPro

>I won't be riding at night anyway so I don't think I'll worry about light
At least get a brake light. Unless you like getting squished.

Do they make helmets with a little compartment on top for recording devices yet? That'd be nifty. No gopro hanging off making you look all weird.

I love the Air Frazer. Shoulder and elbow pads are not removable and I normally remove the shoulder pads but its ok. If you say your slim you'll love it. Super super crazy air flow. Cuz your sweat isn't wicked off like when you wear a t shirt the air that comes in the jacket feels like air conditioning. Great protection in my opinion as well.
>>
>>15137815
Would be neat but I think it needs to be smaller than the session. Dunno how that affects battery life and shit.

>>15137783
Here is a comparison video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?annotation_id=annotation_205002323&feature=iv&src_vid=-zbQ4XjOoO0&v=aUHtnAYNzC0

Most GoPro comparisons are worthless because they compare raw material. Other cams try to make the raw material look good but the tradeoff is it's absolutely shit to edit and you can't really do much.
GoPro gives you the best source material for post-processing. Looks unexciting by itself but if you're into video editing the results are the best you can get.

If you're not into editing though you're better off with another cam.

is buying a new bike that bad? i want my next one to be new just so i know its not been fucked with. i need to look into negotiations, but other than paying a high price, what's the downsides? i want to put about 50% down to keep my payments low and make it easier to pay for full coverage.

Hello CTA, new art when?

>>15138125
idk I bought a new bike. I can't decide if I wasted money or not since there have been a few comparable bikes come up for a little less than I paid, but they are rare enough and close enough to the new price I don't feel bad even if I dumped a few bucks just to know every mile is mine.

I'd look at your local used for said bike and see if people are A) putting miles on them B) there are a bunch for sale C) there is a huge depreciation the minute you take that model off the lot

there is a 636 here that has 300 miles on it. it's one of those 'unforseen expenses, must sell, like new' type listings where the price is above sticker, but still cheaper than the final out the door price. considering one of those if the warranty is transferable.

>>
>>15138125
I looked at tons of used motorcycles up to 35 years old and most of the time it's really easy to tell if someone knows their shit and is honest or if someone doesn't know jack shit and tries to hide something. For me personally it's not worth it to buy a new bike for that little extra safety, I have inspected enough bikes that I can get the risk of buying something bad near zero.

So I'd say it all depends on you. If you're afraid of getting fucked over or are inexperienced with used sales buy a new bike, there is nothing wrong with that.

I'm taking the MSF class in July since that was the soonest weekend class available, I'm pretty excited.

I may or may not buy a motorcycle immediately afterward, but what would you recommend for somebody 6'2" and 160lbs? I feel like I'd have a hard time fitting on most 250s, but I don't really want to start on something too heavy because I'm pretty weak, I also don't want something too quick or more than a few grand.

Baird, my drz build is like a half completed version of yours, but I'm mainly riding SM.

Are the Zeta flashers decently bright? I've got the same guard/mount setup as you but I don't have the flashers in yet, worried they aren't bright enough.

Howdy gentlemen of /DBT/ I have a question regarding a tire, I recently purchased a 1983 Honda nighthawk and the front tire is dry rotted to hell. I've looked at the size and it's a 100/90 19. I bought a tire at cycle gear and it's a 100/90B 19. I'm just having worries now and want a second opinion but I should be fine right? Also didn't notice the tire said "Harley Davidson" till it was in the car but I think it'll be humorous.

I know what you mean kek. But I'm right on the Manitoba border and some nice valleys are there, so kinda. Nothing like a mountain road but some good angled turns. There was even a nice 90 degree one close to home before some cucks changed it last year.
>>
>>15138621
Should be perfectly fine.

I don't even know what that B is doing there besides denoting that it's a blackwall tire instead of whitewalls that Harleycucks use.
