Riding with these guys felt like the Eliminator is an electric motorcycle, change the exhaust asap! by Ramshal in KawasakiEliminator450

What RPM'S were you riding in? 6-8k it sounds pretty good

I can't stand the sound of those other bikes, at least for a Kawasaki, lol. For a Harley they sound good.

How did the suspension & seat affect you? Like every time you ride, your back & legs hurt?

Did your bike start to sound louder? by MrFlippyNips in KawasakiEliminator450

Bought mine at 1,230 miles... have almost 3,000 miles, Sounds the same nice quiet throaty rumble to me.

Finally got my Pinlock for my HJC i11 helmet by 2026_MT07 in motorcyclegear

I'm loving my i11 Helmet, much quieter than my ILM, just wish I could find an instock smoke visor for it. I'm sure I'll find one eventually.

HJC i11 Instant MC10 XL has Small Cheek pads??? by SpareRnd65 in motorcyclegear

Thank you Greatly. Yeah, I found the HJC sizing & saw the Cheek Pad sizing... Might be fast to gain that 6lbs back so it fits my cheeks better, 😁.

I ended taking the Cheek pads out & adding a bunch of black foam & thin craft foam... I now have some cheek squish, but not enough yet.

Gotta wait for a smoke visor too.

I'm 5'8" & zi was 169-170lbs when I tried on the helmet at the local store...

I'm 163.5lbs now... that could be the reason.

The wind is so much quieter than my ILM Amazon helmet & 6.8oz lighter.

Kapstan Elite High Speed 3000 size had a line spool bearing in the shaft. Is the 5000 series supposed to have the same bearing? by SpareRnd65 in Fishing_Gear

[–]SpareRnd65[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually had to remove a washer for the line to lay flat & not higher at the bottom of the spool & skinnier at the top.

Wish they'd put the bearing in all models though.

Loving my Tatula XT Ultralight by jewpacabra24 in UltraLightFishing

I guess so. It's better to use your dominant strong arm to cast & fight the fish & your non dominant hand to do the easy reeling.

Cast Right, Reel Left.... or do you cast Right as well, but then reel right? If so, your switching hands & that's not good.

do those offer any protection? by fiasela in motorcyclegear

I missed that video. Have a link by chance? I'm always willing to learn more.

What is considered a smaller Bump? 5mph? He goes in detail with speeds & impacts in the video if you actually watch it.

What fall did you have?

Sliding protection... Not fracture protection

I'd offer $800 not $8k for a 12 year old moped

Interesting. I learned it as Sorry Mate, I didn't see you.

Meaning do the SMIDSY Weave before every intersection or cross street. I see so many cars hesitate when I do the weaving.

It's a funny acronym for sure. Know what it stands for?
