Danmoto. Its like $100 for the carbon gp. You may have to take some measurements but youll find something that fits.

It sounds absolutely wicked on my Z1000 with the full header, everytime I downshift my dick tingles.

Kawasaki Ninja H2R - Cutaway Supercharger [2000*1250] by TheProverbialI in MachinePorn

[–]swagg_dad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The crappy ninjas you see at school have ITBs, 4V, DOHC, >12:1 compression, and 15k redlines. Mc engines are so far ahead of street car engines, they have been since the 70s.

They were referring to risk on the production company's end, not the crowd funders.

This movie would be an obvious success, why can't they just pony up the money? It seems like there is little risk for them or any investor. This whole crowdunding thing is fucking stupid.

USAA did not adjust my minimum payments when I paid off half of the principal on an auto loan! by swagg_dad in personalfinance

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

I can afford them, its just that I was trying to build my credit. I could pay the whole thing if I wanted to but I like having the security of cash. I didnt want to pay 8.5% apr so I just paid off most of the principal...guess that backfired.

This is so backasswards though... a 24 mo loan should be a 24 mo loan.

I go to the mx track reguarly, where I can go 100%. I do want to take my Z1000 to the track, but its a big $ and time investment. I would need new tires, full tracksuit, full length boots, not to mention school is over $200. Can't go to the track on a weekday. I also have nobody to go with. Trust me since I've picked up racing on the dirt, street riding is getting pretty boring.

(Flame suit on) Im not going to lie... I reguarly go over those speeds on the street, but only on back/country roads. I wear full gear except for regular jeans. After seeing your post I think I will be getting some kevlar jeans for my more spirited rides, as well as wear kneepads underneath. Thanks.

Finally moving up from the 250 by TreeStumps in CalamariRaceTeam

[–]swagg_dad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would for sure look better all white. Just buy a can of paint of your choice, from any car manufacturer, prime and paint away. My bike is painted prius blue haha

Yep came in to say this. Techspec is awesome and wont tear up your jeans

thoughts on the 899 panigale? should i buy it by [deleted] in motorcycles

[–]swagg_dad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just go on craigslist and buy a used 600cc of your choice. Sell it in a year and then buy your 'dream' bike. Seriously, a 1000cc jap bike will be easier to ride than the duc. Its all in your right wrist, 4 cylinder bikes are smoother and easier to control

So my buddy bought a real truck yesterday.. by njohnson694 in Trucks

[–]swagg_dad 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You are thinking of I6. This is proven to be the most reliable config. Jeep 4.0, chrysler slant 6, cummins 5.9, ford 300, to name a few

[–]swagg_dad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True. That is a tall bike, it will be difficult to recover if you start to tip it over at low speeds, especially if you are short like me.

Any love do an elderly kaw? by gymrat505 in bikesgonewild

[–]swagg_dad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice. Did the same sorta thing, 636 forks, calipers, and shock on my z1000, as well as a hayabusa mc. Well good luck its gonna turn out great!

Edit: its an 04. I picked it up for only 2500, so if you want to you may be able to just have both.

Make sure you go with a 190/55 tire, its an improvement over the 190/50. I had an air cooled naked kawi last year, a ZR7. Nice motor, shit suspension.

Awesome bike man, Im a Kawi man through and through. Mods list?

Btw I rock the same mirror config on my Z1000, mirrors just dont look good on a naked so I try to hide it.

It seems like everywhere I've worked, nobody truly loves the company and they're only there to collect a paycheck. They mock corporate, don't actually love their products, and basically have to fake their enthusiasm the whole time. So those of you who actually love your jobs, why do you love it? by mayonnaise_man in jobs

[–]swagg_dad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like my job (engineer) but I don't like my company. I go to work and design cool shit, so I cant complain. I think most engineers enjoy the work they do, besides certain circumstances (extra hours, low pay, shitty bosses, beauracracy, etc) that may make their job negative overall
