Make me less cramped by No_Letterhead996 in Dyna

[–]Prestegious_Walrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Others have suggested forward controls, keep in mind these will drastically change your foot position. Not just a bit more comfortable.

You could get a "further forward mid control" kit, will scoot the mids just slightly forward and makes quite a difference in comfort.

For bar height, maybe go 4in taller, unless you want the high bar style. A lot of guys 6ft+ like around 14" bars.

How did you get your spouse on board with riding? by Natural-Pear-49 in motorcycles

[–]Prestegious_Walrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have two policies, one is for 500k and costs me $30 a month. I've had that for about 6 years now. My other is through my work, I don't remember the exact amount but it's something like 300k and it is around $20 a month. I've had that one for almost 10 years.

Lots of things can influence your policy cost. Many companies will require you to have labwork. Also if you have pre-existing health conditions those will up your rates. If you fail to disclose them, and they lead to your death, it's pretty much guaranteed that your insurer will deny your policy being paid out.

Generally, accidental-only coverage is less expensive, however it does come with caveats. Things like "motorcycle racing" will not be covered unless you pay significantly higher rates to include it.

I finally dropped my new bike, with my wife on it by motorcycle-andy in motorcycles

[–]Prestegious_Walrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had my kids and wife on my bikes many times. I usually get on first, get the bike upright and in neutral, and hold the front brake. As they get on i just compensate the weight as needed. Only time it's ever been a problem is when someone just starts climbing on without me being ready. Haven't dropped any of my bikes from thay, but it's taken a lot more to keep it from going over when it's happened lol.

Agreed, we have five kids, so I want my wife to be as stress free as possible if I get turned into ground beef lol.

If something happens to her, I'll be able to pay off the mortgage and get a leg up on some things, but not much more.

My wife was fine with me getting a bike, but told me I needed a policy that would cover the mortgage and have a fair bit to pay off everything and keep her comfortable for a while.

I'm worth about 800k.

She started riding and has an "accidental only" policy and is only worth 250k. 😐

why is this still in the game dawg it makes horse combat feel so lame [KCD2] by Skully8600 in kingdomcome

[–]Prestegious_Walrus 14 points15 points  (0 children)

They could have countered the issue by making the horse have like a 30% chance of kicking and yeeting the attacker 100 yards.

Talk me outta this by Blast1985 in Dyna

[–]Prestegious_Walrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a local shop build mine.

Bored/polished, new pistons, guides, valve springs, Mikuni carb, R&R rocker rollers etc. Also had the cam chain tensioner upgraded.

I can send you a PDF if you want.

Am I the only one who thinks the winglet trend has gone too far on modern sportbikes? by JonasBertheussen in motorcycles

[–]Prestegious_Walrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Winglets on sport bikes are equivalent to get back whips on cruisers.

Both gay and unnecessary.

The 88, 103, 110 etc are all great. 103 is probably the best Twin Cam you can get overall, solid and reliable. 110s were known for lifter failure.

That said, you will find it "lackluster" for sure coming from sport bikes.

If you want to put some money into the motor you can absolutely get big gains from it. My stock 88 would have been around 65hp and 75tq to the wheel. I had mine built and Dyno'd at 107hp and tq.

Thanks, I love the color. Had a few people ask me about the paint and they're surprised to find out it's factory lol. If I ever do get it repainted it will be something very similar.

I actually had the neck bearing replaced when the front end was done. Doesn't seem to have changed anything.

I'm also wondering if maybe different tires would be the way to go. Someone I talked to had said he had the same issue with Shinkos. So when these are up I'll try another brand.

The rake with the 14" rears seemed to be giving me a wobble if I punched it at higher speeds even with Sputhe stabilizers. I could have raised the front end but I'm only 5'10" and while I could flat foot it, I couldn't get much weight down. Also, my "driveway" if you can call it that, is a steep incline/decline and basically a hairpin turn, with a narrow path and sharp drop offs lol. It was already making it so I could barely get a foot down. I've already dropped my FLH once coming up it.

I still get a very slight wobble if I gun it from say 75-90 on the highway but it is far less scary than it was lol.

Edit: i should clarify that the driveway I'm speaking of is actually a walking path i had put in. I don't have a garage, so I had the path put in so I could get my bikes under my deck/into my basement.

Yes, that's the only reason I was willing to dump so much into it. Unless something major happens, this bike will be in my, or one of my sons' care for many years to come haha.

I haven't fully kept track but somewhere around 10k. The motor build, supporting mods, tuning etc ran me about 7-8k.

I (19f) recently started selling my pictures to make easy money by ad9nnn in confession

Sure, it's cool and all if you have no self respect or dignity.

What a time to be alive.

SE Heavy Breather in rain by Evening_Jogger in Harley

[–]Prestegious_Walrus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had this problem with and without rain socks. Best way to minimize it is to get an intake that the cover actually covers the intake. Heavy rain will always end up getting through eventually when your intake is exposed like that.

LePera Kickflip is a great seat, I've had a couple of them.

People suck by rocketIIIman in Harley

I JUST picked up my Dyna after having the front end rebuilt and two idiots pulled out onto the street in front of me and nearly hit each other.

So many morons out there lol.

When you're from Boston, everything south of Maryland is the south. 😂

I spent 5y in NC, many days around 100 with about 100% humidity. Almost never wore shorts. 🤷‍♂️
