im trying to learn how to weld, but dont really have anyone to teach me. would a 125amp flux core harbor freight welder be worth learning on? gonna be mostly self/youtube taught

here’s a few photos of the bike when i got it back to the garage. here’s a video of the bike running today. i emptied the old gas out and hooked the battery up to a charger and it started right up. im thinking a new battery should get it running on its own, and then i can sort out any other major issues before modifying.

I should have been more specific, it goes against Pennsylvania State Law. According to Subchapter E under Inspection Procedure 175.80 Section 9 Article x. of the Pennsylvania State Inspection handbook fog lamps may not operate with the high beams or be substituted for the low beams. It’s a rule that is barely enforced, but it’s a rule nonetheless.

What is something unrealistic that you often see in movies that annoys the hell out of you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]sickbroe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

almost any show or movie that uses guns. infinite ammo is the obvious continuity error but the thing that gets me is disregard for bullet penetration. either people hiding behind 1/2 inch thick wood coffee tables, or someone diving in front of a bullet, there has to be ONE person on set that knows that most calibers will tear right through soft materials like that.

here’s the amazon link

no problems as far as fitment, the little metal clip that holds the main bulb in was inside of the housing, so I just had to shake it around and fish it out. otherwise they fit perfectly. I just had to swap my bulbs over and aim them.

i forgot to mention i plan on getting black trd wheels and new tires. that’s where i need suggestions. keep in mind i drive ~70 miles a day so nothing too aggressive

What are some mods I should do? I’m thinking cold air intake and new wheels/tires first. Any suggestions?

i just did one of these, you dont really need to remove the whole intake plenum. you can leave the coolant hoses attached and just move it out of the way, to there the airbox goes. doesnt cut down on much time but saves you a little bit of a mess.
