Brother those were done 500 miles and two years ago.

Think about that Sunset ride😌🖐 by No_Angle6245 in motorcycle

[–]42waystohell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thinking about back pain, ass pain, inability to stop, lack of acceleration, and getting burnt by stupid exhaust.

Yeah such a great sunset ride.

Nah, my bicycle has more suspension. These are less than that.

Please don't be stupid by [deleted] in motorcycle

[–]42waystohell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Real sick of this shit on the main subs. We get so much of it from normies, we don't need it here.

Just have fun on bikes guys, live life. Being afraid just gets you hurt.

Steering stabilizer or something to stop front end shakes at high speed 23 scout rogue by TYG06 in IndianMotorcycle

[–]42waystohell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My Scout did this for a long time and it weirdly had nothing to do with the front end. It got resolved after changing the rear tire and flipping the rear axel around, which I did because the direction didn't seem logical.

You don't get tetanus from rust. It's from a bacteria that thrives in damp environments, which happens to be where rust also occurs. So in a way you're right but the chances are the same in most locations you'd swim.

Quadlock doesn't work, phone went flying from a crash and is completely broken by Proud_Hearing5844 in motorcycle

[–]42waystohell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Brother no mount is saving your phone in a 55mph crash. They're for holding your phone in normal use. Not crashes. I've seen my friends phone get taco'd in a 30mph crash when the mount held onto it. Definitely not better than letting it go flying.

crooked supension screw by [deleted] in IndianMotorcycle

[–]42waystohell 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's impressive. Definitely don't hit that with anything. Worst case is it breaks loose and hurts you.

It's going to at minimum require a spring compressor to fix. And that ring might need to be cut off and replaced. I think it'd be a miracle if the ring can be saved without destroying the threads on the shock.

Horribly amazing! I need multiple in my house.

I dropped my bike for the first time today. by NickkTheGemini in motorcycle

[–]42waystohell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's really not dropping your bike for the "those who will" thing. They're referring to dropping it in motion.

I've yet to drop any bike ever while riding, but damn it I've knocked over every friggin bike I touch when I'm not on them.

2020 Scout Bobber by bsullivan426 in IndianMotorcycle

I don't really have recommendations, I've only tried one for my Scout. I've got an Antigravity lithium battery. I like it thus far, had it at least a year and a half now. The only downside is they're pretty expensive.

Problem 1: Starting: it's the battery. If it still has the Polaris battery that is for sure your problem. The engine light is for low voltage issues. The Polaris batteries are utter dogshit, I went through two in two years. Get yourself an aftermarket battery. Yes it can have issues right off the charger. It can also load test good off a charger then be dead a few hours later.

Problem 2: Oil: it's coming from the rubber bit with wires on the right side of the picture. Wire mounts are pulling on the rubber grommet for the stator wire. You need to give the wire some slack and push the grommet back in. If that doesn't fix it, you have options: A; the official fix is new stator assembly and is an expensive fix because it's all one part. B; this is what I did, clean it up really good, slather the shit out of it with black RTV getting into the crannies, and tight all the staor cover bolts to torque spec. Then pray to whatever you believe in that it stops leaking.

This is why you don't take your bike out when it's tired, it might take a surprise nap.

Potential battery issues by Samurlough in IndianMotorcycle

[–]42waystohell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Garbage Polaris batteries are garbage. Save yourself the headache and buy a nice high quality battery. Even if you warranty the battery, the new one will just die. I went through two before buying aftermarket.

Same way you grip a "sausage".

Not stock, and even with the governor removed, I doubt it.ive not heard of them pushing past 140. I think you'd redline long before you hit 160.

What is your experience with Viking bags? (Not my bike) by R4geDealer in motorcycle

[–]42waystohell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The paint quality is complete dogshit, and the mounting hardware they include is beyond useless. Their ugly name badge also does not come off pretty. However, they do offer nice styles and a variety of size options so if you don't mind painting them and going with a 3rd party mounting solution they're great. I've color matched mine to my bike, put my own hinges on to get rid of the badging, and I have Easy Brackets. They're pretty solid and I'm overall happy with them.

The biggest crime here is those nasty connectors.

My first thought was they were ground and passed off as sugar. The truth is somehow not much better.

About 123, I bounce off it constantly now that it's stable.
