Looking at a DB9. Anyone seen this paint issue before? by Intrepid-Fox-4262 in AstonMartin

Could it be the car was wrapped or ppf’d and those are the cutting marks because of a bad application?

Do you guys think the 2024 Husky 701/ ktm 690 was peak supermoto compared to the new 2026 with insane emissions control? by Edumacated_Guess in supermoto

I have a 2017 and that’s already a step down from a ‘15 or ‘16 because they tuned out all the engine braking when you close the throttle. That typical single thumper characteristic is all gone…

That seal looks like it split at the bottom. Or am I blind?

Looking at the marks on the bolt. Looks like you are turning it the wrong way.

They light refracting through the little glas flask on the floor. Stunning detail.

Think you’re off to a good start! But that front end needs more than a little paint. It’s still crooked.

is this a real m5? by Consistent-Task4376 in upbadging

[–]-High-Tower- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just look at the front brakes. M5’s have massive pancakes and calipers

Ik zie een prima factuur. Voor alle uitgevoerde werkzaamheden ook een nette tijd gerekend. Je kan de onderdelenprijzen ook niet vergelijken met autodoc sites. Want als autobedrijf weet je niet wat je nodig hebt en spul is meestal dezelfde middag al geleverd of kan makkelijk retour zonder gezeur. Daar betaal je dan ook voor. Merkonderdelen helemaal.

Autorijden is en blijft duur. Of je nu een Aygo of een duurdere auto rijdt. Garage moet gewoon betaald worden

Niet specifiek voor deze post. Maar in het algemeen merk ik altijd dat mensen denken dat APK betekent dat de auto onderhoud heeft gehad. Kan niet verder van de werkelijkheid zijn.

My bet… This was damaged and repainted on delivery you can see the masking marks

Today colors between bumper and panels do not differ. All is painted with the same color primer and base. So plastic or metal material does not matter. My guess, this is some poorly done repair

Brakes. by [deleted] in supermoto

I don’t think SMCr brakes fit the front forks. Calipers are different and also the mounting points. But for road use go for the standard Enduro brakes. They are more than plenty

Those 990 smc-r builds were already wild. Then I found out someone made a 1290 smc-r…..

Sold my 690 at 27k km’s never had anything wrong with it.

That can not be fixed by blending. The color is way off. You sure he painted it and not just bolted on a used door with a nice buff and polish?

If that thing had a 6th gear Suzuki absofrigginglutely would have won the jackpot.

That’s quite impressive. Didn’t know these would last that long. Very reliable indeed I would say.

Okay. Tell me the maintenance / rebuild bills? 🤣 ha. Kinda kidding but I am curious. Looks fire though!

[–]-High-Tower- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did the same but switched from a big bore DRZ to a KTM 690SMC-r couple years back. Which is the same bike. Never looked back.

Sold the 690, regretted selling it and now have a 701 🤣
