Are handlebar gaunlets worth the shame? I've got the rest of my cold weather gear sorted, but not even open guards + wool liners under my gloves can keep my fingers from going towards frost bite.
>>28196235Why not buy heated gloves?
>>28196234I feel that big guy. You got this! I belive in you
>>28196194That bike is ugly bro, no ass
>>28196237Will those be enough to keep the top of each finger warm? The problem is the wind is just peeling heat away. Are heated gloves strong enough to keep the ends of your fingers warm?

>>28196247I know one thing that helps me feel less down is the gym. Worse case you can be swol and sad. Like a shitty anime character!
>>28196255im already applying this, im up 15kg ish since i got back in the gym in junepullups are tough as fuck when you do them properly mane, i can barely get 12 solid reps still. cant imagine ill be adding weight to that anytime soon. that pepe is mogging me
Do you guys have a bunch of beaners of mini-bikes where you live? It seems like a relatively new thing. The cops showed up to a massive minibike group ride nearby last week. And I have constant mini-bean-bike activities in my neighborhood.
>>28196259It's all about progress bruh, not perfection. You're only competing with yourself. I have pull-up bars in all doorways in my house with weighted vest. But I'm kinda tarded.
>>28196260Set up some fishing lines. And watch some cartel videos to get an awareness of Latino culture.
>>28196268ive been struggling to gain reps on my top set though. though ive been slowly gaining weight so 12 today is worth more than 12 last month tbf
>>28196281>And watch some cartel videos to get an awareness of Latino culture.I am well versed.
I have a question about off-road riding. How come they don't wear the same gear? MX guys just have a jersey and pants and maybe a chest protector. Is it because it's a lot more physically demanding?
>>28196287Gotta eat more bruh. You want this gains!!! Eat big get big! But seriously, just take your time and stay on it. Just simply going to the gym is more than most folk do anyway.
>>28196297im trying to force myself to eat more lately and weight is going up steadily and im happy with it atmgym is fun anyway so its not something i need motivation for anymore luckily. except leg day, fuck leg day. a girl at work has started bullying me into not skipping that too though so i might be fully back
>>28196304>gym is funEwwww
Thoughts on this?
>>28196304Fuck yeah bruh. Gym time is therapeutic man. I have gym equipment at home so I don't need to go out much. I'm not the most sociable kinda guy myself. Plus public gyms can have too many egos there. Remember my guy. Every day is leg day when you run from your problems
>>28196340public gyms can be ass but ive learned to block out the bs and mind my ownhome gym one day tho20k steps and leg day on saturday, im starting the year right
>>28196342Doing better than most bruh. Don't forget you gotta have one cheat day a week for eating like a bum
>>28196349i eat like a bum every day, i cant really hit my calorie surplus with proper food, havent really enjoyed food for a while now
Slid around on my bike (pedal) today since we got about a foot of snow in my area and my street hasnt been plowed.Good fun substitute for the no-moto blues
>>28196358Gotta get you some fancy protein powder and eat enough chicken, rice, and broccoli to make you wanna fucking hate eating lol
>>28196366oh i down my protein powder shakes and honestly chicken and rice prepared correct goes down fine. not much of a broccoli head though but i try to get my fiber in when i canbut yeah, rarely excited for food
>>28196381Shiiiit. I wish I had that problem. When I was lifting really heavy I stayed fucking hungry lol

Great catalog and can even spot a TYZ.Then again, if we were back in 1992 I'd probably still be a poorfag looking at magazines and riding a beat up 70's RD350.
My bike suddenly feels juddery as the rpm drops when coming to a stop. The judder goes away soon as i pull the clutch.

Be honest. Ignoring the fact of where it comes from, it looks really good. I feel like a lot of the china bikes have great visual appeal. Why can't the Japs be bold with their design anymore?
>>28196543>Why can't the Japs be bold with their design anymore?>every single bike looks like a gaming mouse/transformeryea im thinking youre retarded chang
>>28196545Look at this shit. Looks like it was designed by committee. Boring, uninspiring, looks like every other bike, completely unremarkable
>>28196549go ahead buy the chink bike, good luck ever finding parts lol. you gonna go to wal mart or cycle gear and ask for a filter for a 可乐自行车!!! lmao, ROMFLAMAHAHAAH
>>28196553Way to miss the point of the discussion. All I want is better design from everyone
>>28196549It's ugly not because it's Japanese but because it's a Honda
>>28196558its over dude
>>28196549The old CB 1000 R looked way better.

For the anon who asked about making a video of my valve adjustment, I'm doing a livestream series on it. I just don't have the time to film and edit the videos down into a neat tutorial.

I'm going to keep the livestreams up.Part 1:https://www.youtube.com/live/9wKyxMmDIDQ?si=bcyrybK2S4aNtkNc>>28196381Damn I wish I had that problem again.

Are there better/best places to try and find a used motorcycle for a good price? I keep checking craigslist and my local (40-60 miles radius) facebook market but there is NOTHING worth buying. Just total trash not worth it or things I don't want to buy regardless (like 250s, etc).
Any of you have experience with KTM heated pads for installing under the grips? I've heard that they heat up rather okay, but the cables are shit and snap easily.

>>28196983Where did you get these crash bars? They look cool and I need some.
>>28196995Sounds like miserable work conditions.
>>28196995>-35c Everyone in the UK would freeze to death instantly tbqh ,we have had some snow recently so half the country is "snowed in" with a massive 2+cm of snow and the other half is underwater because of the snow melt

>>28196569>>28196571Plain Black was best, Had the Dark Knight feels about it.
>>28197059I don't like modern bikes very much but this CB is stylish and the headlight looks cool like some transformer but without all the edgy technoarachnid look.
>>28197064Different anon but I miss this headlight on the nakeds. The hornets new one is ugly and the neocafes look good but just aren't very popular for some reason.
>>28197064>>28197067Suzuki came out with a beautiful naked about 10 years back before they went in the wrong direction too.
>>28196063Show me your scooter tires.
>>28196184All GSs are ez mode to work on. Biggest concern would be how the previous owner modded the bike. If they were like me, for example, you'd be like, "it runs fine but what the fuck man"Also vacuum diaphragm carbs do not play nice with pods. I'm not going to tell you to track down a stock air box because those are leaky and complicated butttt I would recommend getting something with mechanical slide carbs if you want pod filters. In the case of vintage Suzukis this means VM carbs. Generally 77 to 79. Or you can get whatever you want as long as you leave the intake stock.
Who mentioned the GSX8?I found one.
>>28197075Sad. Still at least bith hobda and suzuki have non horrendous looking bikes above 600cc. I hate modern naked design, I blame mt yamaha and ktm dukes for all the bad naked styling of today.

>>28197162>bleejo seethinglike clockwork
The 2006 GSXR1000 sold for $625.With fees that's about $1,200.Too much for me considering the bike was on its side and no idea about the condition of the right side of the case.

>>28197389>>28197413No I don't believe so. I will check tho. Thanks.
is upgrading rear suspension while keeping shit stock front suspension okay or retarded
>>28197323Your WALL-E comic con costume is coming along nicely.
>>28197453Well I don't see the problem. Is it a pure road bike?
>>28197455i want to take it to the track one day but my track riding will probably be half the shenanigans that good riders can do on regular public road twisties
>>28197284There's a shit load of sub 1L bikes available.Quite an abundance of Kawi 636'sI'm going to watch the liter bikes for a few more months before I start bidding on others.Pic related.WT actual F is a CRF1000 trying to be?I can't tell of I'm watching Easy Rider or a geriatric Crusty Demons of Dirt #52
>>28197453It's ok, is your suspension fucked or you just want to upgrade?Maybe fit linear springs on the front?
>>28197464Nice cruiser bro
>>28197413A sleeve is as simple of a component as you can get.If it fits, it ships. Hell, when hot rodders started building strokers in the 50's they just looked at piston diameters and wrist pin heights and started mixing & matching chevy pistons and ford rods and just slapped shit together.Engines aren't rocket science.
>>28197311Based. Stand strong.
>>28197474I'm not getting how it works. Do you bore it too as far as possible then put a sleeve in there? Or is it removed and a new one welded in there?
>>28197474That's good to know. But:1- What about two stroke cylinders with the porting windows?2- What about custom piston sizes? Especially the ones with indentations at the top, can those be made by order by some company?
How do you reliably get sticky gunk off my chain? Also are portable lift stands worth buying? I am still new to all this and I don't want to carry a jack out of my apartment every time i need to clean the thing.>>28197464Adv to replace the africa twin only to later be named it just like cbx. They wanted adv with emphasis on touring or something to my understanding from others.
Is it legite thing to do if i move shifter more up on that one axle point, i need more room for my boot when i shift.

>>28197498Yes, it's adjustable bro. Same as your clutch and brake lever angle.
new ku
>>28197533Enjoy bro
>>28197055
>>28197485If you need a porting window, buy a dremel.Harley Davidson used dental drills to modify existing shell bearings for oil passages for use in their engines over 100 years ago.And yes, you can get any style custom piston you want.https://www.jepistons.com/custom-pistons/custom-pistons-order-form>>28197483This gets complicated and depends on the engine.Sometimes you just bore as much as possible, slip in the sleeve and run a stock piston.Sometimes you have to run a slightly smaller piston.Sometimes you can over bore and actually pierce the water jacket, seal the sleeve and you can run a stock or larger piston.
>>28197492Answer to your first 2 questions.

>>28197468its not fucked its just abysmal dogshit according to everyone (ive never ridden a bike with truly good suspension) and im keeping my bike for a veryyy long time. theres an öhlins one for it and i wanna get that sometime
>>2819755171 BMW R60/5It's a boxer engine. Idk if this helps. This is the boring guy.Pic related. Gave my blood for this project.
>>28197573That's a steel sleeve in an aluminum cylinder as it is.That's how basically all bikes are nowadays but modern manufacturing makes it more complicated to remove the sleeve because many cylinders are formed around it, not just a sleeve slipped into it.But yours is old school.I haven't looked it up but I'm 99% sure the proper restoration technique is to just replace the sleeve. But that's later.That thing has an ass load of meat left on it. You can bore and rebuild it half a dozen times.
>>28197492bike liftrs are excellent, makes any work you do 100x easier
>>28197583We're already at max. They (Mahle) don't make any pistons larger. Text from my machinist.
WE MOTORCYCLE NOW
>>28197604Faggio?
>>28197606It clearly says kymco on the side.
>>28197573I'm not sure if they still make cylinder kits for old airheads, aside for wildly overpriced big bore tuning kits.You could try contacting a company in Poland called Almot, they specialize in piston and cylinder manufacturing, they make stock size cylinder kits for Ural bikes, might make some for airhead BMWs too.That aside, those are dry liners and I've heard of Ural dudes milling out the old liner completely and smashing in a new one, I've also read on forums about some milling out the old one, but leaving a shoulder of the old one at the bottom end, where the new dry liner that they slip in will rest on, the other end being held in place by the head.Do note that this is advanced soviet bike fuckery, but the basic idea on both airheads and Urals is the same.I've been keeping my eyes open specifically for an old airhead engine to drop in my OHV bike.
>>28197573BMW airheads are easy to work on and easy to install larger cylinders from larger displacement BMW. Take thyself to BMW forums as they are great resources.I would be hunting ways to get more cc since the 900cc engines bolt to the R60 transmissions (my first airhead was a R60/5 with an R90 engine). Great machines that easily last a lifetime. You can also have cylinder bores coated to resize them back to stock or whatever size you desire.https://www.usnicom.com/I'm ancient but still find it odd many of my fellow bikemechs don't know these things.
>>28197613>>28197573Actually if you're desperate enough, you could try looking if the 650cc OHC Ural cylinders would fit the airhead block.From a quick glance, the airhead has the pushrod tubes on the underside, whereas Urals have them over the cylinder.You could technically run the Ural cylinder upside down and drill an oil hole on the topside for the head.
>>28197587I mean specifically stuff kinda like this. IDK part of me is worried about the bike becoming unstable from it potentially.
>>28197600Pistons and cylinders are available via Ebay.I suggest asking here:https://forums.bmwmoa.org/forums/airheads.13/
>>28197622There are plenty of used Airhead parts. Worth a read:https://www.advrider.com/f/threads/r90-6-cylinder.1611321/
>>28197600>at max according to the book.Pfftt.Live a little.https://forums.bmwmoa.org/threads/73-r60-5-fed-up-cylinders.99412/>...., I believe that you could bore your cylinders from 73.5MM to 84.8MM to accept pistons from an R80/7
>>28196995Grips would be for my viffer, just saw a "hack" somewhere where guy was using it and it was okay. I don't like the controller from the oxfords, I'd need to modify it and with KTM pads it would be looking more oem for what it's worth
I wish I had a Chinaman with a lathe and welder in my basement.
>>28197624>The Club (tm), motorcycle edition
>>28197628Yeah, but if memory serves the older very early 70s engines are slightly different from the mid 70s ones and parts don't really interchange from the box, but I could also be talking out of my ass here as I don't know that much about BMWs
>>28197624I'd ignore that thing and get a full width stand instead for much greater stability.If you have garage or similar access where you can hang a cargo strap from a rafter etc then connect that to bike with a soft sling strap that's total stability because the bike cannot fall. I suspend bikes that way often and it works superbly giving me complete access. I've also used car engine hoists with a strap hung from the boom by while safe it's kind of awkward because of the stand legs.
>>28197551Thanks for the info mate
>>28197624those are shit, a lift that sits on the frame is what you want
Any info on Sherco? Class win at Dakar Rally today, never encountered one in real life.
>>28197641There are variations which is why I go to BMW specialist venues. It's easy to help suppliers know what you have by sending clear photos and the engine serial number. Research is king.>>28197633Just get them yourself. You have a basement which is the hard part. People should attack their mechanical problems because it pays off quickly and the most useful thing a gearhead can own is their own small shop.Besides my own I help my bros:https://forum.chopcult.com/forum/nbsp/how-to-tech/47469-another-easy-safe-bridgeport-milling-machine-moveIf you ever need to move a lathe or mill there are many safe, easy methods that avoid paying a rigger. The earlier in life you go for it the longer you'll benefit.BTW shipping containers (do not buy junk WWT grade) make excellent bike and machine shops. I have four 40ft High Cubes so far.
>>28197384Contact LA Sleeve too as they've been sleeving cylinders for decades and are rightly famous.https://www.lasleeve.com/Even if ya don't use them this time all this is worth remembering.
>>28197654>Dakar RallyI wish there was a livestream
>>28197657Always wanted to own a shipping container myself, but they get cold so easily during the winter>just install heatingNah not paying for that. Then again that could make for a nice sauna and I have some spare wood stoves.>>28197654A zoomer mate of mine has a 250cc Sherco, it's apparently taken to abuse extremely well despite being a 2 smoke that lived its life as a proper racing dirt bike before goin g to a kid who hoons the shit out of it as one should.Biggest issues thus far have been electrical gremlins
>>28197613>>28197619>>28197622>>28197625>>28197630Thank you for all the resources bros. I will bookmark these pages and do further research. God Bless.
>>28197604Nice faggio
>>28197653Those do work on many bikes and aren't bad as expedient car transmission/transaxle jacks.The wider the lift the more stable. Unfortunately the cheap offshore makers don't make theirs wide enough for my liking but if you can score a Bulldog or J&S used (which is fine as there is little to wear) they're worth grabbing. Bulldog is more common and ~150 is fair for a used one. (Ugly is better, I scored my second for only 50 bux at a bike swap meet because it was filthy.)

>>28197663They're easy to heat. I just use an electric radiant heater. No install required. My bro lined his with thin bubble insulation and his mini-split gets so cold in Carolina summers he has to turn it down.Don't make a container sauna. Wood is best for extremely high humidity. I don't do wood shop stoves (or wood shops, wood is for camp fires) because they're great for burning down shops and contents. I dislike fire so no flammables of any size live in mine and two (so far) have industrial CO2 fire extinguishers using standard dip tube cylinders. (I bought them for the cylinder carts then got them home and realized they are full. That lets me completely inert those containers if needed and leaves no residue.I constantly hunt industrial and medical surplus including patient aka "Hoyer" lifts which are perfect for bike engines, milling machine vises etc. They have non-marking casters and fit through a standard door so they work for apartment dwellers too. They've no problem raising one end of a Harley FXR.
>>28197483>>28197665You heat the cylinder on a hotplate then press the old sleeve (it's made of cast iron which is why the bore looks different than the rest of the cylinder) and then press in the new sleeve. After that, the cylinder is bored for the piston and you reassemble your engine.No welding at all. It's just pressed in/out with a shop press. Your machinist can do it easily.
>>28197075Nope. Doesn't look good at all>>28197067>>28197059>>28196569>>28196549Good riddance to the 2010s uggo triangle and pentagon shaped headlights. I didn't know anyone even liked them until now I had just assumed that a lot of people merely tolerated it. Frankly the single round halogen headlamp remains design perfection and fits almost any bike. Every other design (especially Yamaha who can't make an MT wear the same headlight for 2 production years) feels totally over designed like they contracted a design studio to make a 'bold' , 'polarising' or 'fresh' take on a naked which was approved by an employee who doesn't even ride. Just look at the z900 Vs it's better selling z900rs sibling. I don't want to ride a praying mantis or a transformer

how do I politely tell my friend 'no' when asks to take a ride on my bike? he's not a good rider, he's gonna crash it or at best drop it. but just outright refuse him might make him mad at me
>>28197712Bro, as I said, I don't like modern bikes very much but you have to admit that CB1000R slaps hard.Looks simple (compared to today), compact headlight that looks like serious business, not all edgy and stuff but it looks like it's not playing around.Plus the single sided swingarm... yeah man it looks good. I wish it was a 400.I guess these were the last days before everything turned into more shit like this abomination >>28197721
>>28197786Very nice
>>28197786Got a pic with the new rims installed?
what's the ugliest bike of the past 10 years?
>>28197772If he gets mad at you for that then he's not a friend. Would you get mad if he didn't let you ride his bike? I wouldn't, I wouldn't expect anyone to let me, and even though I'm a fairly decent rider I just wouldn't want to risk someone else's bike. I'd gladly test ride a dealer's bike because if something happens to it then who cares, insurance sorts it and they'd got replacements. But a friend's pride and joy? I'd hate myself if I so much as scratched it.
Should I take a harley dealer sales job? I'm old and tired or working in a call center telling retarded mechanics how to fix trucks.

First bike owner, father passed and now I own his 2004 Honda vt1100 Sabre. It seems like it’s in running condition other than a new battery and tires. But there’s quite some rust and blemishes on and in the exhaust and a bit on the tank, the tank I could maybe wrap or something to atleast hide the rust but I have no clue on how to get this chrome looking good again. Any tips?
>>28197555>hella parts on the wayWhat you installing bro?
>>28197881I am still new to bikes and wrenching but I would be a lot more worried about your rotors than cosmetic rust.There are loads of resources online in forums and such for removing rust and detailing, but imo baikfus would rather run and look like shit than sit in a showroom
>>28197881Mothers mag or really any chrome polishing compound. You aren't removing enough material wiping that stuff on to actually matter pluss it cleans off oxidation. I use it on chrome gun parts as well.
>>28197897NTA but I'm sure that rotor rust will come right off with some braking

Finally not sick. Hopefully this weekend I can ride after finishing adding the parts I ordered. I have some fairings to go above the engine, a windshield, passenger pegs, and an exhaust slider to add. I was losing strength trying to get the bolts off with an allen wrench last week. What the fuck do they do to these rebel bolts to get them on so tight...>>28198081I think it is the only polishing compound have gotten that could clean up 60 year old plus hand gun scratches without making my hands and arms sore from polishing so much. I also have some methods for plastic care but that is more for cost savings to not use name brand.

What can we expect from.the upcoming honda V3? I think it's gonna be a beast>The water-cooled 75-degree V3 engine is being newly developed for larger displacement motorcycles, and has been designed to be extremely slim and compact. It features the world’s first electrical compressor for motorcycles, which is able to control compression of the intake air irrespective of engine rpm, meaning that high-response torque can be delivered even from lower rpm. In addition, the electrical compressor allows a high degree of freedom of layout of all components in the limited space available on a motorcycle and efficient centralization of mass. It also does not require any form of intercooler
>>28198212Mine doesn't. And I'm spoiled for choice
>>28198212Not sure where you live but Cycle Gear sell a bunch of stuff that looks generic in their stores. Don't know how safe any of it is though. You need to go to the UK and Euro brands to find CE rated fashion gear.
