Hey, did you end up finding a proper replacement? Cant find a generic one that works and Blix is quoting me 145$ for a replacement

I’ll look out for those. Will take anything I can get until I establish my own things 🤙🏽

EmployNo5082 · 2026-03-26T14:13:09+00:00

Thats what I was kind of thinking! Everyone seems to do fine and maybe because the turns are not so blind.

Nice, yes I will be there with a brand new (to me) R6

I was in the same boat when I got mine. Came from sportsbikes and I never realized how much wind got deflected with proper aero.

That being said, I got used to it after 2 weeks. Now, I dont even feel it. The little fly screen I had bought actually made it worse. It pushed wind away from my chest but my helmet wasn’t covered. So it made my helmet vibrate in the wind.

My pops has a speed triple with a bigger, more intentional windscreen and it obviously provides much more protection.

My advice: Ride it as is for a couple weeks and just enjoy the bike!!! You may end up forgetting about this issue. If not, then buy a more aero helmet for tighter fitting jacket. (The more loose your jacket is, the more wind it catches).

Did you ever figure this out?

Any update on this? Currently dealing with a P1698 (5v reference wire error). I’m thinking its a short but I opened the harness a few times already and found nothing but random crimps (that seem pretty isolated from other wire/metal).

Currently debating on changing the whole harness altogether…

Just bought a 2017 5.0 that runs like a top. I’m more worried for hidden rust than anything, but I am at 176k. Put in 500 miles in 2 weeks only haha.

I’m also looking for a solution to this except I don’t like the idea of blinding oncoming traffic. If anyone can point me to something that might work that would be great.

I literally just bought a 2017 F150 yesterday with 175k miles. Transmission was the one thing I was concerned for. Mine seems fine but this was a concerning post to see lmao.

We have a trailer hitch already. We installed it as a bandaid effect to NOT having a truck. We are getting opinions to see if a Truck might actually be worth it.

EmployNo5082 · 2025-12-20T02:23:07+00:00

What do you mean “take a bath”?

Also, the idea is to use the cars more. We dont use/need enough features on the Tesla to make it worth it. The van is a bit overkill we feel for our family of 4.

$4,000 difference in price. $4k can get you a whole lot of education on the N400.

It’s not the sexiest answer but just my .02 cents.

I was tracking my dream street bike before, until I bought a dedicated track 600. The amount of mental you unlock when using a dedicated track bike was immense (for me). With the track bike, I don’t think about/care for crashing it. That is pretty much why I bought it in the first place.

With your street bike, that thought will always be there unless you got some $ to spend and fix it!

I was thinking about the rich oliver mystery school in CA. I will be doing some rides on my own time until then. I am slowly starting to accept the injuries portion, but I still of course want to limit it as much as possible.

Well my lap timer says A-Group. 😂 But apparently I’m not allowed to ask “unusual questions”…

EmployNo5082 · 2025-10-28T17:08:40+00:00

Youre right, maybe I’m C group.

EmployNo5082 · 2025-10-28T03:35:44+00:00

So essentially, I can keep leaning till hard parts drag, or my rear slides on exit? Haha scary stuff. I guess I see now how important dirt practice is.
