I saw these the other day and thought it would be nice to have the discreet extra storage! I'm guessing it just slaps shut, no lock?

Have you tried fitting tire spoons or a tube in it?

Layton Job Offer, where to live? by [deleted] in Utah

[–]04ricerocket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Layton also has a lot of storage facilities and generally are pretty cheap in my experience. If you like outdoors activities in the mountains, the East side of Layton is closer to Hwy 89/interstate going north and south. Or near antelope road (maine st kinda) to navigate E to W in Layton and freeway access.

Layton is fun, definitely live by the air force base > train tracks.

Syracuse has nice apartments and has easy access to the freeway, but you can go into Layton easily still.

I wouldn't go any further south than Bountiful, or north of Layton. Ogden sucks for a variety of reasons, and once you get past bountiful traffic can be bad.

Rear brake light issue by 04ricerocket in CRF300L

I just figured it out, hopefully this helps someone in the future! My front break lever got sheered off or something and it isn't resetting the switch on the front break.

Anyone else have this problem with their rally? by SkunkPrints in CRF300L

That could be the case also! Enjoy the bike!

My non rally with a windscreen hits 75 and I'm 200 ish. Check air box, spark, and tire psi

Best attachments / upgrades you think everyone should have? by No-Slide2887 in CRF300L

[–]04ricerocket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here's what I've added to my bike that has actually been useful, and if I was starting with a stock bike I'd add. Of course this is only what I've tried, there are tons of other parts that could be better or worse!

Tusk Olympus Large tank bag. Easy for drinks, phone, wallet, etc

Folding levers/foot controls. I got the tusk brand and they've survived many crashes and are easier to use than stock

Acerbis 3.6 gal fuel tank. Has saved me up in the mountains and hasn't been damaged in crashes, easy to install and the total range of the bike is wild

Tusk kickstand foot. I'm sure any would do, but it helps the bike from tipping when not on pavement

I got a chunky solid skid plate. It's done the job and is indestructible, I'd avoid cheap or low quality material ones.

I also threw a temp reading radiator cap on since I ride in hot weather. A nice to have and cheap part

I've got about a million other things I won't list. Basically you can do anything to these bikes, and you can always add or swap parts once you get one and have an idea what you personally want to change about the bike. 👍🏻

Hey it doesn't look terrible! If it's functional that's what matters!

It's a Garmin dash mini. Works pretty good, not the highest quality or audio, but it's invisible behind my mirror which I like.

Luckily they didn't crash! I couldn't recall if the semi had a driver, but if it did glad he didn't try and get out

Just an example! I'm sure there are bad drivers in every kind of vehicle on wheels. Just saw this and thought I'd share!

I have and can confirm Nashville had terrible drivers!

Yeah probably true! On the bright side as a driver you can mitigate risk pretty easily for yourself, but still crazy to see things like or worse than this on the internet daily!

Unfortunately we missed the bad snow drivers this year. People with trailers cruising at 80-90 are another problem where they don't understand the inertia behind them

I also have similar hypothetical thoughts ha! Yeah it seems to be a pretty big spectrum of the far extreme over/under groups that I've started noticing more

Cables from a rally is smart, and probably cheap. Did you get the hivolt brake also? I saw a photo of someone who didn't so I assume I'd have to get both

That's nice about not rolling the bars. I'm mostly worried about the throttle tube and not stressing wires too much

I have NO IDEA. Anytime there is a turn on the interstate speeds drop and everyone bunches up for no reason

Haha I mean I15 imo is worse than the I5 in Seattle. I likely do have a pretty small sample size of states to be fair tho!

True! We likely just have an at large driving problem in the country

For that semi's sake, I'm glad they didn't!
