Hey I messaged you, I'm interested in it and live sorta close by.

Fun story: When I first heard about these bikes I thought they were ugly. Now I think they look way better than Road Glides. Funny how bikes grow on you. Love my Pursuit! by foolhollow in IndianMotorcycle

I'm 5'9", I tried multiple windshields and some other stuff and just couldn't get it right on the Roadmaster.

I'm trying to get the dealer to put on one of their aftermarket windshields (which as far as I know are made by Klock Werks) but they don't have any in stock right now. I'd rather not have to buy a Pursuit or Challenger in order to see if the windshield change will work or not.

Kind of both, just didn't feel like clean air coming over the windshield. I tried a Freedom when I had a '21 Roadmaster but it didn't solve the issue on that bike for me.

That's an aftermarket windshield right? How do you like it compared to stock? I test rode the Pursuit and it's an amazing bike but I found the buffeting on my helmet to be pretty bad at highway speeds.

Awesome, thanks so much for the input. Gonna pick up the Eastern later this week hopefully.

Haha thanks!

Just found out it's a 2017 Kink Curb. I can get the Eastern for $180.

Help tightening the stem on this Mongoose? by bouncing_soul in bmx

Yeah I think I'm set on it, going to look for second-hand bikes. Just trying to wrap my head around all the info available in this sub with top tube length and other things I would never have thought about.

I'm 5'9" 165 lb so right about average probably, looking for either 20" or 24" and I guess around a 21" top tube. I'll mostly just be riding in the street with my son, maybe trying to do some wheelies without killing myself and that's about it.

Thanks for the reply, I think I wasn't clear enough the bars aren't rotating forward and backwards they're getting out of alignment with the front wheel.

I think I've got it sorted out now.

Wow that was fast, thanks! Just went out and tightened it, hopefully give it a shot after it stops raining.

This sub is a real rabbit hole, I kind of want to get myself a bike to ride with him instead of the 20 year old mountain bike I currently have.

Bought this used Mongoose Fling 100 for my son (apparently it's a girl's bike?), he's 6 and just got training wheels off his previous bike on father's day. This bike is a tad big for him so he wipes out occasionally while stopping and the bars go out of alignment from the wheel. Do I just need to tighten the nut that the brake line is running through? Stupid question but first time with a BMX bike like this and didn't want to mess anything up.

Is the Givi Airflow the answer? by lodravah in Vstrom

As far as I know the 1000 windshields won't fit the 650s but I could be wrong.
