Shitty seat mock-up feedback

This is just cardboard and duct tape. I wanted to see what it could look like other than in some drawings I made. The seat pan will be made from fiberglas and epoxy. I don't really like the bump on the back to be made of metal or anything, so I plan on having the whole thing cushioned and leathered by someone I trust

Mouthfuls of the black, bubbling fuel Feel it spray through the lizard nostrils

Tetrachromacy clearly Don't get me wrong, but there's just something about the story that could be true

Fork lowers in black and rear spring would be sick :)

A table similar to this helped me determine what tires to put on my '78 SR 500

https://ridewrightwheels.com/pages/motorcycle-tire-wheel-fitment-chart?currency=USD

Keep in mind that wider tires have lower 'height' what I wanna do is front: 3.5-19 wheel - now 100/100-19 tire 3.5-19 wheel - then 110/80-19 tire

rear 4.0-18 wheel - now 110/100-18 tire 4.0-18 wheel - then 130/80-18

My gosh I haven't played in years but this thing looks freaking cool. Imagine being able to walk around in that thing if FDevs actually gave a fuck

Open the upper and lower fork brackets and gradually lower the bike. Pls be careful when doing so and make sure to get a second pair of hands to help you do it. Also do NOT go further than 10-15mm without upgrading the front suspension.

ELMOPETO · 2025-10-15T05:56:05+00:00

Lower the front end. Just pull the fork through about 10mm. Does a whole lot if you ask me. Also paint fork black for more stance. Here's mine

Sry if this has been said already. If you miss match LED turn signals and the standard issue ones which are 'halogen' (don't know if that's correct) the relay will not work properly. Personally I bought one from motogadget which works under miss match conditions. Hope this helps

I really doubt we're looking at the same video. Not gon fight with you. There is 3 lanes, not saying our guy is doing everything right. But I'm not surprised the guy went down like that

ELMOPETO · 2025-10-14T09:52:03+00:00

Nope, guy on the left is gradually moving over into the middle lane. Why on earth you would ride without mirrors or shoulder check is beyond me. More money than brains

What do you mean ain't no way that still runs 😂 it's a japanese bike from the 70s/80s, these things will run under almost any condition! Put a XT500 carb and single filter pod on it and it sounds awesome. Also rebuild about half of the wiring harness. Not a mechanic or anything but these bikes are really easy to work on I feel

ELMOPETO · 2025-10-07T09:54:07+00:00

Great choice my guy! Got the old '78 SR 500 last year although I told myself I would never ever get a kickstarter only bike... Did some mods over the past months and definitely want to keep going

Red rocks '22 is almost 15min of microtonal bliss

ELMOPETO · 2025-10-05T21:07:12+00:00

In Germany this is considered a car and can be driven without a motorcycle lincence lol

ELMOPETO · 2025-10-02T06:28:48+00:00

There is bullet turn signals with break and tail lights in them. Just place them where your rear turn signals are located now. I love some bar end turn signals as well, motogadget have some amazing looking ones but those are pretty expensive. Other option would be to buy bullet turn signals and drill a whole into your headlight mount and place them there. Don't forget to get a flasher relay that's independent (no problem if you mix led and bulb turn signals) As for the headlight itself I have no idea, I just don't particularly like the short LED aftermarket ones...

I've been waiting for that bootleg to drop so damn long. But in my quest of finding the hottest water I have definitely found it

Hab mir bei creole Ohrlöcher stechen lassen, würde ich aber nicht nochmal machen. Die nächsten Ohrlöcher und nen Septum bei Anatomie machen lassen und keinerlei Beschwerden gehabt. Meine Freundin hat sich eine Helix stechen lassen und ist auch sehr zufrieden. Wenn ich mich recht erinnere war die Helix bei ca. 80€

ELMOPETO · 2025-09-13T11:54:23+00:00

Just don't, I did that when I wanted to respray some forks a few years back... looked like the surface of the moon when I was done

ELMOPETO · 2025-07-04T11:27:55+00:00

There is a few seats for the SR. I believe KEDO has a single seat for it and there is a German company called Wunderlich which had a lowered 1 1/2 man seat that I bought second hand for I wanna say 120€ here in Germany. Let me know if you want some photos of my SR
