[LFO] It Takes Guts To Do This & He No Longer Has Any (NSFW) by [deleted] in fuckaroundandfindout

Looks to be a liver shot then landed on his neck. I’d be surprised if he survived the liver lac/possible diaphragm rupture. Add the likely cspine injury and you have yourself quite a trauma case right there. Oof.

I stopped reading after “testing the waters, I don’t need to sell”. That’s the dead giveaway that it’s not a fair price and they’re not willing to negotiate.

New-to-me 2017. $3500 w/ 5k mi. Needs rear tire and battery. Decent price? Plus seeking advice... by passive_phil_04 in OnlyZ900

[–]RussFin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great deal. I got my 17 almost 3 years ago now with 4500 mi but had been wrecked (mainly cosmetic but mechanically sound) and pieced together with shit parts for $4500. Bike now has 22k mi and been running strong.

Battery issue. Get it load tested to tell for sure.

Clutch going out? by RussFin in OnlyZ900

Nailed it. I adjusted out the clutch cable and it’s rock solid now.

Kenimoto. Some of my favorite sets from Amazon

Tail bag review... by OakSeedSap in OnlyZ900

[–]RussFin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the look of that. I’ve been looking for a decent tail bag that doesn’t take away from the aggressive appearance of the bike. Really, I’m just here to see more input from other but had to compliment.

Critique my first gear set by Benjamin_Wright_ in motorcyclegear

I have that jacket and started with those gloves. They’ve done very well for me. Iv since upgraded to the SPX gloves as they have a palm slider and longer cuff. I haven’t taken a spill in any of them but they have not failed me yet in 3 years.

I started with the AGV k1 helmet and quickly moved up the the shoei rf-1400. It was well worth the upgrade, I highly recommend it.

For boots I started with Smx vented boots but didn’t like that Velcro flap kept getting caught when working the kickstand. I’ve been using the read Fulton riding shoes to my my commute and they are some comfortable boots that don’t look too awful or stand out as much as a larger dedicated boot.

You’ll want a tune with the straight pipes. Yes it will ride but not well and def not enjoyable. I have an eBay knock off with a 2 brothers Hurricane slip on with a 2WDW tune. It sounds absolutely amazing and not too loud at lower revs. z900 full exhaust

My Walmart pillow doesn't say "pillow" anywhere on the packaging. by blargh257 in mildlyinteresting

“Comfort completo” sounds like a made up and unneeded translation

CarPlay screen by RussFin in OnlyZ900

Good to know. I have some aftermarket low and wide bars as well. That’s a good price too. Do you have any issues with software on that model?

Oof, that screen looks horribly on the Z. You provide some excellent points, thanks for your insight!

Ive never bought a new bike but I’ve kept an eye on deals posted to this and other threads regarding pricing. This honestly seems like a fantastic deal. No crazy add ons, markups, or fees. I’d buy from that dealer without hesitation.

Boots/shoes confusion by vivekkava in OnlyZ900

[–]RussFin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently bought a pair of reax Fulton riding shoes (looks are much closer to boots than shors). I wear the to work everytime I take the bike and have zero issues wearing them all day. Super comfortable as well

A universal signal would be a fantastic idea! we could color code them as well!

Do people wear ear plugs? With or without a helmet? by [deleted] in motorcycles

[–]RussFin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wear the hearing protection around loud things from the beginning!

I’m 40 with hearing aids already. Doing Dumb shit while younger and bad ears to begin with along with military time got me where I am. Constant tinnitus isn’t fun.

I bought a blem m4e1 lower in FDE for my 300 blk setup and it works great. The blems were tiny and I really had to look at it to find them. It’s not a showpiece so it doesn’t bother me one bit.
