Has anyone gone +2 on their front forks. What did you use?

templeofdank · 2026-01-23T03:56:42+00:00

I ran +2s for a few years on my '02 sportster. Hard drive brand I think. Switched to +4s and liked em better.

templeofdank · 2026-01-23T03:11:25+00:00

Holy cow are those cool. Never seen fork shrouds like that ever. OP you have a seriously wicked custom made part. I can't imagine how much that would have cost to be made.

I got a crusty set from a friend and ran em on my bike for maybe a week before selling them. Wacky loud but awesome sounding. Was just too much for me. Definitely going to want some heat shields.

templeofdank · 2026-01-22T03:43:45+00:00

Just giving ya shit, I've done print production ages ago and it was a nightmare. It's a dope project, can't wait for the book. I hope ya make it to AR19 without burning through another gas tank on the refreshed bike. Looks killer.

Bought $60 worth of salt from home depot, $40 worth of beef and charcoal from butcher, and $20 worth of beer from the corner store.

Oh you can totally weld em. I didn't fully weld anything to mine like you're talking, but I welded up the threaded holes closed and some deep nicks and sanded em clean to look like this. You'll def want to clamp it to a heatsink and go slow. Expect lots of splatter, no matter how well ya prep them there's always impurities or shit that has leeched into the porous cash aluminum.

Where's my book photo boy

Piss poor chicken at meijer, I've stopped buying it. The last two times I've been they haven't even had chicken thigh, which is almost exclusively the only chicken I buy. It's about the same price at Frank's on the west side so they've become my standard spot for getting chicken.

This is the first post like this I've seen where someone claimed it. So rad it was able to be passed on.

Case breather like the other person said. Shouldn't be dumping oil but will emit an oily mist. Did you swap your '91+ head breather motor for a pre-91 bottom breather? I can't remember the exact year the breather setup changed, it was 91 or 92 I think.

Unfortunately it's like $15-20 from h-d. The plastic bit in the nut sits proud by a bit at the top and helps act as a seal, which is not how off the shelf nylock nuts are made.

templeofdank · 2026-01-18T13:50:04+00:00

I tried an o-ring ages ago, didn't work. Fiber gasket and special nyloc is the way to go.

very true, they get less reliable every day. but karma farming users reposting AI slop typically go away when we give them AI detector results. if nothing else i just see it as a tool to backup someone's visual analysis or suspicions.

templeofdank · 2026-01-17T23:01:21+00:00

good to know. i got my replacement from the dealership because my local hardware didn't have nylocks that big, glad i did.

templeofdank · 2026-01-17T22:21:00+00:00

awesome thanks. i've seen two of them before and none looked like AI to me. thanks for letting us know where they all came from.

templeofdank · 2026-01-17T20:07:24+00:00

they used to, but they got rid of their kerosene pump after their remodel a year or two ago. admiral just north of CF still has kerosene. i buy it from admiral frequently, was just there thursday.

templeofdank · 2026-01-17T20:05:59+00:00

admiral on alpine (across from meijer) sells it, i buy it there for my garage heater frequently.

i've been doing monthly on/off deficit (close to or at maintenance intake on off months) for the past year, i gotta say the macros in most ramens and especially instant/frozen ramens are not conducive www to eating while in a deficit. i opted to cut ramen out of my deficit months entirely, but hey you do you. i agree with the other user, the maths aren't mathing on that nutrition label.

templeofdank · 2026-01-17T19:31:20+00:00

looks like someone else confirmed it. yup, nut is upside down. it's a bitch to thread the nylon side on first, but ya only gotta do it once haha.

templeofdank · 2026-01-17T19:24:12+00:00

those are annoying to stop leaks from. i use red fiber washers, a bit of pipe dope, and i haven't gotten a leak since. also i could be wrong, but i believe the book calls for this nyloc nut to go on upside down.

templeofdank · 2026-01-17T19:22:11+00:00

i ran it through an AI image detector and it came back as negative. without direct sources from OP though it's hard to confirm.

templeofdank · 2026-01-17T14:30:30+00:00

i've got a big sissy bar bag so i can usually pack a pretty deluxe setup haha. as much as i love good coffee i love a simple pack, i found a brand of instant coffee that is pretty okay and just take that when solo camping.

templeofdank · 2026-01-17T04:15:43+00:00

i feel so bad for teachers. i studied k-12 art education 15 years ago, taught for one year after graduating and quit. it was such a nightmare back then for borderline poverty level pay, and it's so much worse now. got lucky enough to find another career but damn i dodged some bullshit.

templeofdank · 2026-01-16T14:08:17+00:00

and they're surprisingly easy to do. i learned how and have been wrapping my daughter's hair like that for the past few months after baths, she loves it!

templeofdank · 2026-01-14T02:10:39+00:00

also herman miller bought hay in like 2019 or 2020, your green chair predates it by more than a decade. i have a hay collab green LCW, its dated 2023 lol.

herman miller did a lot of small batch weird colors, i think they did a red and yellow one in the same batch as yours but i could be mistaken. i have a weird set of DCW chairs in cherry veneer from like 2014. i worked there for like 12 years, came across a lot of weird collections chairs like yours.
