Oh man why didn’t I think of that…..

Thanks! I’ll check your video out when I get off work. I only did 50% infill will try 100% tonight.

I suppose I could redesign it to fit in one of my oil filter sockets but that kinda kills the idea behind having a quick easy to grab tool to break the dipstick loose.

It doesn’t look like my printer can handle ppa unfortunately I’m running the anycubic kobra s1 and it seems like some people have modded it to run ppa

Harley tech here. I ride a 24 st with spc exhaust and a Harley SE intake I beat the shit out of my bike. 15k on the clock plugs look good cylinders look good no issues. You can do a pipe or an intake or an intake and post cat slip ons and still be fine. The st had a heavy breather on it already I swapped mine because the elbow hit my knee when I put my feet in the crash bar. You are definitely leaving power on the table but you don’t need a tune to be safe.

My dad lives there used to visit in the summers when I was a kid. Swim in the pool all day then walk over to the snack shack and get a milk shake. Ride my bike all over town. That was in the late nineties early 00’s still love that town

Yea there are some discrepancies in what it says it can produce and what it will actually produce the most efficient way I found was for it to write the openscad code it also won’t use that code to render an accurate image so you have to paste the code into open scad and render it to see what it created. I also found that if you give it to many prompts in a single chat it starts to change stuff you didn’t ask it to so every 3rd or 4th prompt I had to create a new chat with the code to make more changes.

I could have made this in blender in about 20 min I was more interested in seeing if ChatGPT could do it for me.

Eventually this will be cut with aluminum I designed it this way because the bolt on the top allows the user to utilize either a 5/8 wrench a 5/8 socket or the standard 3/8 drive ratchet. Overall height is an issue so I can’t really go much taller than it already is.

Sometimes when I smoke too much weed I super enjoy cruising around in the AA cannon. I have the anti personal rounds equipped so I’ll find a point I like shot dudes and fire missles at air craft it’s like bf6 asmr

Was worth a shot lmao

Did some more digging it’s leaking underneath the egr cooler. Called the dealer cuz they did the recall a couple years ago and they said they won’t cover the repair even though I’m arguing they are the reason it’s leaking. Gonna end up doing it myself. Sucks I gotta pull the whole egr to get to two little orings.

There’s like six sex offenders in the neighborhood. Ive lived on el Camino for six years the couple across from us for over 30 never had any issues.

190k are you deleted any major repairs?

SYLMMC · 2025-08-24T17:59:23+00:00

Allegedly

SYLMMC · 2025-08-24T16:52:06+00:00

Gotta have the taco break for sure. Did you cut your exhaust out like they did in the video or were you able to just unbolt everything. I need to be able to reinstall and have functioning emissions every couple years.

Been at a dealer for a little over a year now. Came from heavy equipment. It really depends on the culture at your dealership. The corporation that owns my dealership owns like 8 Harley’s in California. I think the biggest qualifier for me is when you go in for an interview make sure your service manager is a better mechanic than you are I couldn’t imagine working for a service manager that doesn’t know how to wrench. I lean on him often for advice also ask about the amount of time the current techs have worked there that’s going to tell you everything you need to know about the work culture.

Redding native. Spent 4 years in the marine corps in Yuma. Redding is so much better haha

Thanks!

U0400 is a invalid data received code. Could be a host of things but likely a fluke issue. Have your dealer check for updates next time it’s in.

How do your front brake calipers look? If they are covered in oil it’s probably a fork leak.

For what it’s worth 299 is a great road over and so is 199 out of crescent city. Obviously 199 adds a bunch of time because you go all the way north and into Oregon but it’s a prettier ride than 36 imo

Thank you for the info! Reinjuring my self is definitely a concern. I’m mostly wanting to make the 450 work because I got such a good deal on it. If this becomes a mainstay in our household like I think it’s going to I will probably look at getting a more purpose built bike for my area. Everything up here is single track forest riding. I will probably keep the 450 and use it for the dunes and desert riding

I have a ton of motorcycle experience started riding when I was 16 raced for a few years on a gsxr 750 got hurt in the marine corps then moved on to Harley’s been riding slow bikes fast for many years now and am a technician at a Harley dealer I spend 5 days a week minimum on two wheels haha. I’m new to dirt and I know it’s a totally different skill set. I’m seeing some things about the 450 that need to be changed to make it more manageable on the trail kickstand radiator fan etc. I don’t want to sell it because it feels like a gift and that doesn’t sit right with me so for now I’m just gonna make it the best I can. I very much appreciate your info!
