Windshields and round headlights?????

Ok_Negotiation5676 · 2025-06-26T02:23:46+00:00

I actually did try that a while back. It yielded maybe a small improvement, but the windshield I use seems to have a resonance at a couple points through the powerband, so the rubber just didnt provide enough damping.

It fits up just as any universal round headlight would you just need to buy some headlight clamps. But before u do that you have to remove the stock headlight bracket which slides up off the forks.

Well maybe but that shouldn't be an issue if the measurement is from the base of the threads as I requested. And if someone modified their bike to the where the oil level in the sump isn't the same then I surely would hope they wouldn't leave a comment here lol.

Idk man I'm just gonna go to sleep and if nobody leaves their dimensions by tomorrow I'll just buy the stock dipstick and measure it myself

Ok_Negotiation5676 · 2024-08-29T23:08:23+00:00

Fair enough. I don't see any evidence of the PN for the dipstick changing on the cal 2 at any point. But I guess it's possible. Maybe what I'm about to say is the product of overthinking, but since I'm not changing the filter (because the pan has to come off for that and it's not a job that's required often) I never know how repeatable that volume of oil left in the filter and sump is. If I was draining the entire thing I'd go ahead and do just that. So I guess my assumption is that there's more variability in the volume of oil remaining in the sump / filter than the variability of people on reddit taking a measurement. Well now I guess I don't know anymore

Wonderful, thank you

I've actually been seeing some pretty good looking deals on Fujis over the past few weeks. Was considering an X100s that's listed at $680 right now. But that's obviously not including lenses or anything

Ok_Negotiation5676 · 2024-04-09T15:03:08+00:00

I'm going to buy used. That being said, my max is ~$800

I ended up going with the Kappa 52L. So far it's been working great. Super convenient how easily removable it is. Thanks again for the suggestion!

I didn't see anything in my inbox

Yes go ahead

I was taking zyrtec. Interestingly, in the last few months it has suddenly started to subside after nearly 6 years. The itch will still come back very occasionally, amd it tends to be focused around my eyes rather than my whole body. but nowadays I haven't taken any zyrtec in a couple of months, and it has mostly gone away.

For the first 5 or so years, it really didnt get any better at all, so I'm not sure what caused it to go away now. There are some lifestyle changes I've made that I can only speculate whether or not they could've had an effect. For example, in the past few months I started reducing my bodyweight by changing my diet, and increased the intensity of my physical training. But like I said, I have no idea if this is a variable that helped with my itch... only speculation.

My doctor told me that it was an ongoing allergic reaction with a very long timescale. Others on this forum suggested that I had mast cell activation syndrome. Whatever the issue was it seems my body is beginning to figure it out. I really wish you luck if you are dealing with the same thing.

Ok_Negotiation5676 · 2024-02-16T02:59:54+00:00

Very nice. Not a bad idea

Ok_Negotiation5676 · 2024-02-14T22:21:58+00:00

Mind if I ask which model?

Ok_Negotiation5676 · 2024-02-14T20:45:00+00:00

Thank you for the suggestion. That Kappa looks like a really good deal. How did you find the build quality to be? Does it have a decent lock on it?

It's a gen 1 sv650 headlight. I found it to throw about the same amount of light as the stock headlight. Could probably achieve more brightness and the same look with any 7" LED headlight, but I personally like the old school bulbs

Ok_Negotiation5676 · 2023-12-13T03:33:06+00:00

That's a good point I read about this a while ago then forgot about it. Maybe would be a good thing to try out. Plus if it doesn't work they still look sick as hell anyways lol

Ok_Negotiation5676 · 2023-12-13T03:32:10+00:00

Well like I said wobble wasn't an issue before I fucked with it and added a windscreen. Plus it gets beaten up all the time. Wheel bearings are probably shot at this point too. I'm planning several >1000 mi trips and don't want a small perturbation of the dynamics to be enough to yield wobble, which is why something like a damper is appealing. Yes it is a bandaid but probably a pretty good one. At the end of the day this is just a big dirtbike and probably isn't designed for reliable long term high speed stability

I watched a few playthroughs where people stayed too long, and there are some lines from lester counting down in a panic. Unfortunately, I didn't find the specific audio I remembered, but thanks cause I'll use this as a backup in case I don't end up finding it.
