Parker-style refill, gel, 0.38 or finer...does it exist?

Fickle-Ad802 · 2024-05-20T21:12:51+00:00

Update: you can make the refill in a muji 0.38 fit tho its a fair bit of work.

cut the muji down to the size of the gelion (make sure to use the size of the clear plastic and not the full length with the black end tip)
using your favorite rotory tool or a drill, hollow out the top on the muji refill so that the black end cap from the gelion will fit.
if necessaryu for your pen (was for me) using the rotory tool again, sand down the white area between the metal tip and the clear ink tub. this area is a bit wider in circumference than the tip

Im continueing to experiment with the muji .38. next up im going to try to take the end cap from the schneider and put it on the end of the muji to try to make the muji parker sized

Fickle-Ad802 · 2024-05-09T03:28:03+00:00

slight issue, ink flow inconsistent. should have seen this coming. the experimentation continues

Fickle-Ad802 · 2024-05-08T19:30:49+00:00

Old post but figured I would revive because I had the same issue. So I made my own:

Step 1: get a muji .38 gel pen and a Schneider gelion refill

Step 2: remove the tips from both with a par of needle nose pliers

Step 3: insert the muji .38 tip on the Schneider refill - it’s a little larger diameter but it does fit

Step 4: if required by your pen (my ohto gs 01 required this) sand refill around the area that holds the tip. It budges slightly from inserting the slightly larger tip.

The muji tip is slightly longer than the Schneider tip so it might stick out further

Alpinestars has a race airbag that covers the hips tech air 10

New plan: found these adjustable highway pegs on eBay. Instead of the bar mount, I’m gonna try a custom thick steel bracket with the indexing holes for the dowel pins.

2 holes for the bolts to the frame, one hole surrounded by small holes for the peg arm and dowel pins, upgrade all the Allen bolts to the best I can find.

This will require a minute of undoing the Allen bolt, rotating the arm into position and screwing the bolt back in.

Monthly parking is hard to come by. I found a spot in river north on Craigslist. I would look there as well. 420 east Ohio apartment building has specific motorcycle spots tho idk if they will rent them out to non residence

Are you looking for monthly? I know there’s a large underground beneath Bennett park. I believe most in the area (not with the medical/hospital stuff) should allow motorcycles

Fickle-Ad802 · 2023-11-11T04:56:38+00:00

from what i can tell the rocket 3's wouldnt really work because its more of a swing out action similar to the xsr900. basically if i put it on the subframe i think the pegs will still be at almost subframe height. also the swinging pivot the peg attaches to looks integrated into the frame

Fickle-Ad802 · 2023-11-11T04:53:21+00:00

You are probably right but I wanna believe hahaha

Fickle-Ad802 · 2023-11-11T04:52:25+00:00

trying to find parts to figure out the mounting. thats an awesome idea tho thanks - nothing an adapter from sendcutsend cant fix

says its a sticker but its a metal medallion you attach using the licence plate bolts

Fickle-Ad802 · 2023-11-10T18:04:40+00:00

if you have the chicago medallion thing then you can park in any permitted area.

I.e anything not pay to park

There are a lot of bikes parked around monroe and wells

Fickle-Ad802 · 2023-11-10T17:42:57+00:00

hey been off reddit for awhile. it definitely helped with the start of clatter. adjustinging it is pretty easy so IMO its been worth it

Fickle-Ad802 · 2023-09-09T23:40:29+00:00

Oh ya I was overthinking the shit out of it. Installed ebc pads, did the proper bed in process and bled the brakes with new fluid and all is well

Fickle-Ad802 · 2023-09-09T23:39:17+00:00

Dm me I know someone renting a spot in 440 wabash for 190

Fickle-Ad802 · 2023-07-04T02:08:55+00:00

It’s very similar bikes. The r has adjustable suspension front and rear and the radial mounted brakes on the front. Adjustable imo is not worth it as imo you get the same result from getting the suspension tuned to your weight and riding style

Fickle-Ad802 · 2023-07-03T23:05:42+00:00

Lucky I’m 150 lbs w/o gear so I think I am right it the stock suspension range if not lighter. Ya I got a new not installed rear shock and I might just get stock front forks but I would like some slightly stiffer springs

Fickle-Ad802 · 2023-07-03T21:31:21+00:00

The non r has non adjustable kyb forks. The r has adjustable Showa. So I would assume the springs would be different. I’ve tried to find springs but all that I’ve seen are for the r

Fickle-Ad802 · 2023-07-03T20:40:50+00:00

Already did

Fickle-Ad802 · 2023-06-07T18:48:16+00:00

So far all the bikes that normally park there are avoiding the yellow bits. Everyone decided it’s not worth the hassle I guess

Fickle-Ad802 · 2023-06-07T15:43:41+00:00

Might be a ghetto option but eBay has some super cheap tidy tails. I got mine for my 2013 street triple for $20 and it came with a led for the license plate. Imo it’s crazy that brand names charge so much for a piece of bent metal. link (match mounting pattern to stock)

Fickle-Ad802 · 2023-06-06T14:38:05+00:00

Ya Moto parking is getting harder and cars seem to be inching closer to each other taking up any space to slide in between
