Previously on /dbt/:
Should I put a windshield on my FZ-07? What are your thoughts /dbt/?
Will be more comfy but you will look like a giant faggot.
>slipper clutch
>still have to wear riding boots
plz read this post and halp
What?
I've heard a windshield can actually make the wind worse by creating buffeting around your helmet or some such thing. Is this accurate?
Had a ~30 minute ride on one of these today. Impressive riding well beyond the spec sheet.

I rate it. I'd probably spring for a 1050 for DAT triple exhaust/headlight combo.
A good multimeter shouldn't cost more than $20.
Just buy one from harbour freight or Canadian tire or whatever store you have near you
It is
Got mine on Amazon for $20, it had like 150 reviews and 4.7 star rating.
Works well, accurate and sufficient. They don't sell it anymore but just look for something similar.
>pay off
Why didnt you just pay cash up front if you wanna brag about price?
Kyoritsu 1009. I have one, way more accurate and faster than the crap ones from electronics hobby stores.
Lol this meme again. First off I'm 26
Had 60k cash in the bank when I got the bike and am a business owner.
You don't get any prizes or awards for paying cash on a 20,000 harley.
I suppose I just pay cash on my 230k rig too? If it interests you I paid 6k cash for my custom moose bumper which just hangs off the front of my truck to look cool.
more than capable to pay cash lol
Not sure what stick is up it butt. Just asking a question. I paid cash for mine. Just a bit of money management
why do you keep bragging about your truck? smacks of insecurity tbqh
This honestly
Cause it's funny
Pic: me and my 35k bourget python. It had tons of problems got rid of it
I would just take it to a local indie garage and get it sorted, I also don't know shit about electrics.
Those tattoos are horrible.
I would go straight for a ST 1050 if you can find one, they are also very cheap for an earlier model, about £2500-3000 where I live.

sort your personality out senpai
it's cheaper and happier to sort your head out than it is to fill the hole with material BS
would the airbox from a 250 model fit my 125?
it looks like exactly the same bike, save for the cylinder capacity
I went on to a fb group about cafe racers and asked how 80's bikes handle compared to modern sports bikes.
People said said bikes like the cb500 are a little bottom heavy compared to modern bikes but still handle okay. This was said by people who own both cafe racers and modern bikes.
Why did you lie to me and say all 80's sports bikes handle bad and aren't fun to ride?
That depends on the bike I'd say. Look up parts numbers.
windshields look a e s t h e t i c
We can agree on that
Which CB 500 were they talking about? The four cylinder model, one of the CB 500 twins (PC 26 and 32), the Euro 2 successor CBF 500 or the newest CB 500 F?
The PC26/32 are very easy to throw around compared to the CBF 500 (PC 34 I think).
Riding slow bikes fast is huge fun
Most riders go for faster and faster bikes early in their career, until they inevitably downsize into something fun
old 80s cbs.
The CB 500 Four was made until 1978, the CB 500 (PC 26) was produced from 1993 onwards. There were no 80s CB 500s.

Fuck you, yuropoors!
>people casually discussing cruisers and sport tourers
What happened? I posted something asking about a cruiser on here a few months ago and was told /dbt/ only cares about sport and dirt bikes.
Was I on when everyone else was sleeping or what?
It just proves that just because you have money doesn't mean you are a better person when rich white trash exists.
>white trash
I am offend.
Dbt was mostly all cruisers when it first started. But that was a long while ago.
Thats ok, don't stop me from loving mine

>hmm I have this rusty disgusting bike that doesn't run, just call it a cafe racer lol
The CB 550 is not a CB 500 and wasn't made in the 80s either.
Why are the majority of motorcycles I see on the road honda CBRs?
Seriously at the top of my local mountain there is a look out where bike riders stop and chat.
At least half the bikes there are CBRs of different eras and engine sizes.
Why?
Honda a best
good ergos, tractacble engine, clean lines
also people know and trust the honda name.
I think it's over priced too.
I wouldn't pay more than 500 for it.
Is the cb550 just a cb500 with another 50ccs?
You can't break the fuse unless you're measuring amperage.
Why the CBR in particular?
Look it up yourself you you
DOUBLE NIGGER
>amperage
The EE in me cringed.
idk i don't go face down ass up. I'm a cruiser guy
>googled part number
>returned japanese porn
th-thanks
You're very welcome, user.
current, not my fault americans call tension voltage.
It's better to learn by interacting.
cm250s are such a nice looking bike
I've got 2 bikes now.
>lumping cruisers and sport tourers together
???
one of those is fast, versatile, comfy all rounder
the other is cruisers
Do anything exciting as of late dbt?
Rate my taste in bikes
I like honda cm400, honda cb500, harley roadster, harley sportster and norton comandos.
I like my cruiser. But haters gonna hate amiright?!?!
Post 'em.
Reminds me of a vicas style bike.
My gf was sent to a psych ward 4 hours away and in between visiting her every other day for an hour. I followed the warped tour round on its eastern leg and slept in ditches.
Why did you choose this over a roadster?
Sounds like a pretty exciting life honesty.
How was gwar? I was at work and couldn't make it this year
...
bike bogs when i pin it from low rpms, is that the air/fuel screw i have to mess with then?
How to act like a complete fag: the post
are u on the chan while driving
>Riding slow bikes fast is huge fun
me on my scooter lol, goes around 50mph but ive learned alot from it, conering and shit
This is a nice cafe build.
Where did you get that seat?
>strapping all your luggage to the forks
This is legit dangerous user, one gust of wind and you're in the bin. Adding rotary mass to the steering is never a good idea.
no
maybe he wants to die
Don't we all?
i know i do
but i want to get a bike first
It was crazy as usual. Only played 7 songs tho. Half hour set. When gf got released we went to the Pittsburgh one and she got on my shoulders. They held the horror cannon on us for like a full 30 seconds...
Do we actually talk about bikes here or do we just post pictures of our bikes and make small talk.
anyone?
is your bike already warmed up?
rode for 20+ minuts and it kept doing it
'S called lugging
Nothing you can do about it apart from learn to shift and more torks
Awesome! Last I saw um was at gwarbq last year. I was up front the entire show and took me forever to get all the die off my skin lol. Good times!
Does Benelli make good bikes? I'm thinking about getting the tnt 300.
You new?
Old Benelli? Sure
Nowadays it's chink owned
Was a while ago I wanna say Dime City Cycles?
Just get a vtr
how far has your build came along?
>CDL queen who was rubber stamped through the program like all the other shitty truckers on the road today.
>Gets nigger rich
>Take pictures at the wheel
>have shitty taste in everything
Hopefully you find a guardrail to lowside into before your job is automated cleetus.
its literally like its dying.. sure nothing can be done?
How much did the chicks fuck it?
Don't think I can get that in the states.
Good guess. However I was driving my dads truck on the highway since I was 14. When I turned 21 I just went to the DMV and took the test outright nigga. I actually think I may of been conceived in a freightliner cabover.

Morning dbt, hows it going?
This is worse than those busa's with the extended swing arms.
Oh it's done and sold. Was actually my older brothers bike he bought to cafe...so he spent all kinds of money and had an extra motor and had it all nice and got it running nice with pods/lightweight battery/clubman bars/pc frame/etc...and rode it like maybe 10 times / to Rockerbox when it was still held in Milwaukee and then sold it for a huge loss. It was a cool little bike. Wat too small for me though I am 6'2" 250 and I looked like a monkey fucking a football when I would ride it kek. I've got pics of it finished somewhere on one of these harddrives. Rockerbox in case you are wondering:
Should have got a harley instead of an indian
It goes. About to celebrate my buddy getting his dd214 with a range trip
