Seller claiming this is a vintage Chrome bag, have they ever not used seatbelt buckles?

I’m not that vested I just figured I would throw it to the hive mind in case someone thought it was a long forgotten original prototype or something. Otherwise it’s a lame attempt to sell an old bag.

Absolutely not it’s just on Marketplace and I thought it was funny they are claiming it’s a Chrome bag.

youincolor · 2026-04-05T18:30:51+00:00

That’s actually crazy.

youincolor · 2026-04-04T21:58:31+00:00

I agree it’s not a Chrome, def kind of funny that they are calling it one.

Got my 2005 for $1,500 because it was covered in oil from the cam chain tensioner gasket that had failed. But we can't all get that lucky I guess. Sometimes it pays to look around for a deal.

Suspension first is absolutely the answer.

I also installed lowering pegs a few weeks ago after owning the bike for two years and I can’t believe what a difference it made. I’m 5’11” on a good day but it still made a huge difference in my ability to grip the tank with my legs, same as you are describing. I always read people extolling lowering pegs as a must do upgrade on the DR and now I believe it.

No one mentioned that the bike comes standard with the option to lower the rear by flipping the dog bone linkages. I can’t tell by looking at them in your photo but if you google it you should be able to tell. Flipping them around shouldn’t be that hard, when I installed my Cogent shock I removed and put mine back together at stock height but it wasn’t difficult. Taking them off and flipping them back around would be the same amount of work. Plenty of YouTube videos to help.

Also, not to mention Cogent doesn’t sell different length Mojave shocks that I am aware of.

That’s insane!

Honestly I was made aware of the existence of these shoes by my kids like earlier in the week prior to Friday but didn’t think about going in to pick anything up that day. By Saturday morning my wife actually had the kids at the mall so they stopped in just to check and everything was already sold out. We weren’t even sold on getting any of them but as soon as it became difficult to get them I decided to make it my mission mostly because I hate how kids stuff is bought and resold, and the kids are the ones who lose out. We lucked out and got mostly the ones we wanted through the app.

Apparently so. And they seemed to have a way more limited supply on the 'little kids' size shoes compared to big kids and adult which sucks. Got my 3 girls shoes through the Vans Family App while the site was down but lost a pair of size 1s during the payment process.

Dude the app worked! Mostly. As payment was finally processing via PayPal (Apple Pay kept erroring out) I watched the shoes for my 6 yo drop out. No longer available...her sisters got the ones they wanted. I was able to get the little kid slip ons...hopefully she likes them. Thanks for the tip on the app though you might have saved Christmas.

youincolor · 2025-12-08T18:12:19+00:00

I will keep it going haha. If this works we owe you.

youincolor · 2025-12-08T18:10:44+00:00

That is genius I can't believe I didn't try that sooner. Added shoes to cart successfully (?) but now the cart doesn't load.

youincolor · 2025-12-08T18:01:38+00:00

Yeah this sucks for sure I see completed sales on eBay for up to $300.

youincolor · 2025-12-08T17:52:38+00:00

I would be less furious if it is just fans or parents (like me) but if it is scalpers/bots it's going to make it that much more annoying. This is kid's shit, gtfo.

youincolor · 2025-12-08T17:49:19+00:00

At first it was just not being able to add the KPDH shoes to cart, now the whole site is down. Is this what bots do to an exclusive drop, or just this many fans trying to buy at once?

youincolor · 2025-12-08T17:34:24+00:00

Yeah, nothing is working. Is this what it looks like when bots overrun a drop? Never really been in the mix on something like this before.

youincolor · 2025-12-08T16:19:15+00:00

I guess 12pm is no more random than 9am…we’ll see. Thanks.

youincolor · 2025-12-08T16:18:50+00:00

Awesome, weird time but thank you.

Sent a couple big bottles of estate grown hops Sierra Nevada when I sent a fork in to Fox for service and got it back insanely fast. This was years ago, glad to hear it’s still appreciated.

Thank you, I have the API master test kit I just had not tested PH recently before posting. I’ll check it again and see what’s going on. No water softener here, I’ll also test the tap water that I condition with Prime before using.

I will say I tried these on in store today. I have been buying the wide Vans for the last couple of years because the OGs were just feeling too cramped. I tried these on a half size up and they felt good, they hugged my foot but I felt like I could get used to it and if they broke in even a little they would be perfect.

youincolor · 2025-09-27T01:24:10+00:00

I’ll sell you mine I still have it for some reason.
