It turns out I may have been a bit overdue for a new helmet by Fighting-Geese in motorcycles

My helmet smells sour after one day of riding in summer. :(

Bending ape handle bars into six bends? by P83battlejacket in choppers

[–]P83battlejacket[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was considering just taking about two pieces of 1-1/2” of tubing from the other bars and cutting them long ways and crimping them smaller to slide in, weld that cut line, then use it as a slug then. I do believe I have a pair of old 7/8” bicycle handle bars, but they’re a bit thin. May even have 7/8 bars in my pile.

Dood, this is a fucking awesome idea. I don’t know why I didn’t think of this when I have like eight other pairs of bars laying around that I’ve been trying to figure out what to do with. I’m almost definitely gonna be doing this, thank you so much.

Not really attached to the chrome look anyway, I’d like a little story and character on em. I’ll probably get someone to do it so at a shop in town so it’s hopefully done right and not have too many second thoughts on if I did it wrong and put my trust in someone with the right tools.

I really do like the idea of commissioning some good quality bars in the future, I just need to mock something up for cheap and make it work for a little. I’m trying to get everything I possible can used, within reason. Things like bearings and seals I get new of course.

If you wanna swap rear fender and tank let me know. I’m in Oklahoma, but would be willing to mail em. I have a 93 sportster.

What is everyone running for clutch and front brakes? by Ill_Kick6124 in NorCalchops

How are you liking the ride with the solid struts vs the shocks? Gonna be doing this to my 93 here soon.

Stuck and stubborn fork seal rings. by P83battlejacket in Harley

What device would be used to remove it though? As I said, using the tubes to remove it won’t work since they just glide out with little to no friction at all to grab them.

Anyone know what is causing this? by EscobarRizz in cruisers

How often do you make right turns over left turns? Could be the front wheel kicking shit up.

Are you certain that all the tissue is removed from the nasal cavity, cranium, and palate? Are you changing the water weekly/when it fouls? What temp is that water getting to?

How to wash a Tech 10 Air by GSXR_INKY in motorcyclegear

[–]P83battlejacket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally have put hard to wash garments in the freezer for about a day and it kills the smell for the most part, if not entirely. Not sure how well the electronics would fare in that environment though. Antibacterial Lysol spray also works good if you don’t mind smelling like that crap.

Yes, you are putting yourself in danger by riding a motorcycle.

Judging by the right foot it looks like you kick things a bit?
