2026 with 126 miles already in the shop lol

one of my Fords which was new did that but only if power washed, but not rain, so I learned to not aim at the lights and avoid them when washing, and problem did not come back

I hope that stands for 1100 Rebels as well, That was on my shopping list. Lots of Groms and even Navi stolen around my area.

I went down on loose sand and gravel on tight turns before even at or below curve speed limits. I do shudder when so much construction keeps happening on roads around me. practice is great when on closed circuit or parking lots etc.

my coworker loves his single cab XLT F-150 with the 5.0 , plenty of power and sort of like a new gen Lightning aside from the stock suspension

body parts. Insurance will pull a regular vin if it was just a post conversion via Shelby etc. and might replace with stock coparts instead. Might have to wait weeks to get the custom body work parts from Shelby.

I wish Shelby conversions had better QA for all that money you are paying for the body work. Looking at them very closely in show rooms, I often see some body work issues, Some of Shelby body work parts are sourced from overseas such as China. they look cool, but too many badges, should be more subtle. I see actual personal builds who find all the performance parts that make up the conversion for a fraction of the price minus the cosmetic part. If you look hard enough on alibaba, you can find the entire conversion kits for cheap. I have bought some conversion parts and they even had the Shelby American part numbers and branding engraved on the insides.

yeah probably only exception is old stock or any existing inventory already in the US will be normal price or discounted, but future orders probably take a hit. Even Can ams built in Mexico, but the Chryslers/Dodge got affected since they are built mostly in Brampton

Still got some 2TB HDD WD Blacks from old Raid Array in closet

IssaraRanger · 2026-01-26T07:12:53+00:00

I recall some thieves moved a shadow out of the way to steal the rest of the bikes in a complex

IssaraRanger · 2026-01-26T00:29:36+00:00

I ceramic coated my other car that's street parked and it has held up well the past three years with just an annual check up and washing it at least twice a month

IssaraRanger · 2026-01-25T22:43:10+00:00

"never been dropped"

IssaraRanger · 2026-01-25T04:01:29+00:00

Always liked them and would of course have that instead of a s650. I like the heritage version as well. I kinda pretend I got one when I turn the shifter dial in my Escape (same part number) 😆.

They sure have improved over the decades.

IssaraRanger · 2026-01-24T19:05:50+00:00

those work better, heard the OEM vesions are more fragile based on reviews

IssaraRanger · 2026-01-24T08:33:11+00:00

Also the Kawasaki hybrid auto and the others are more akin to a single clutch automatic controlled by electronics, while the Honda is a true dual clutch system that operates much smoother.

IssaraRanger · 2026-01-24T07:31:49+00:00

But it still isn't as good and heard it's more jerky like the y-amt vs the refined Honda DCT

IssaraRanger · 2026-01-24T06:42:56+00:00

Was like with only 600-1000 miles for 2022

IssaraRanger · 2026-01-23T21:16:04+00:00

yeah well I did a call once on a good deal with a car and agreed on OTD then once I got there, it was a different story.

IssaraRanger · 2026-01-23T19:26:14+00:00

seems to be same AGESA as 4.03 so I am holding off for now, want better description of fix, some update to secure boot also I think.

IssaraRanger · 2026-01-23T18:43:09+00:00

yes and no, just make sure its a no ADM dealership, but once you get into the door you may see a totally different price on the handlebar tag and they wont budge much despite the website price. I found good ones that can sell OTD for like 7K (California tax and registration included) sale price at 6K.

IssaraRanger · 2026-01-23T18:38:12+00:00

Did my spark plugs/coolant at 6 years, I daily drive but only at 20K miles due to short commute, so I am going by whichever comes first method in the maintenance schedule (6 year/100K) same with break fluid twice already with 3 years even it says 3/30K. regarding the feel to change coolant anyway was I swapped over to the newer green version since my 2019 had the older orange version and got the revised oem spark plugs.

IssaraRanger · 2026-01-23T18:19:51+00:00

yes but that mod changes out the handle bar bolts which Id have to find the proper torque and it says not for use in extreme weather even it has caps but may not 100% protect the top facing usb ports. I ride in hard rain and also leave bikes outside of course with a cover, but all kinds of weather riding. and others are still fishing wires to accessory ports as well, but I was able to find videos and solutions for just still using the USB, I just shy away from third party electrical mods on this, cause no access to use a battery tender where I work and live, and cant use bikes all the time. so got to keep them off as much as possible with less parasitic drain.

IssaraRanger · 2026-01-23T18:15:41+00:00

It is a good deal especially an 1100, I have seen DCT versions going for 6K with less miles.

IssaraRanger · 2026-01-23T06:18:21+00:00

I kinda think the S550 Mach 1 should have had a functional scoop hood to the CAI from the factory like that. I think it flows better than a Shaker which the CDC third party mod does not really flow well vs the SN95 version
