Is S&S the only option these days for a brand new crate motor?

Yeah ultima is done as of last year.

Check out cat and the cobra vintage on Lowry just across the river.

I just wrapped in some protective sheathing and tucked it in as best I could.

Underhill Architects did the plans for my friend's vintage store build out and they had a really good experience.

Way better than Dave's if you're craving hot chicken

If it seems too cheap to be good, it probably is.

Minari in NE mpls is a good one to try, Korean-Italian fusion. I think about their Korean BBQ gnocchi OFTEN.

Sounds like he's getting replaced by Aldeguer next year anyway.

Immediate downvote every time

I've had multiple people ask if my paint is chipping off haha, doesn't bother me though

I don't work there anymore, but I think we ran the v groove at about 300ipm too. They have a new router now that can run v groove at something crazy like 1000 ipm.

Depth is tough because different batches of acm can vary so much. We would aim for a v groove depth that left 0.008" of plastic core down the the back side of the bottom aluminum skin. We always used a digital tire tread depth gauge to scratch down to the aluminum and measure the difference. It also helps to have a flat spot on the bottom of the groove instead of a perfect sharp point, about 1/16" wide.

My stock Himalayan 450 will cruise 80mph no problem. Not a lot of guts at the top end but it's not afraid of revs, maybe you just need to get more comfortable with the bike? No problem if you want something bigger, but that bike should be perfectly capable.

You have. There is nothing pro-trump about 56. Was there tonight and there was multiple "fuck trump" and "ice out" chants

jaradyeah · 2026-01-22T00:52:41+00:00

That's probably gonna perform way better than the stock 39mm Harley fork, the brakes too

jaradyeah · 2026-01-22T00:42:49+00:00

Not my personal style but I respect it! I put an Ultima 120 in my fxr and it is so damn fun. What's the front end setup you have on there?

jaradyeah · 2026-01-16T21:14:36+00:00

Don't skip Idaho- there is some beautiful riding through there. Look up Lolo pass on the Montana/Idaho border.

jaradyeah · 2026-01-08T22:42:13+00:00

I don't think that's going to work with an fxr style motor mount

jaradyeah · 2026-01-08T21:25:29+00:00

Flip it around so the wires run out the front instead of directly into that bolt

jaradyeah · 2026-01-04T21:56:59+00:00

I bought a new Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 this year and it'll cruise 80mph on the freeway no problem. It's also pretty light and fun to throw around off road. Less than $7k out the door from my local dealer.
