Why are flushmounts even a thing?
You can't see them head on. Which is the MOST important part of turn signals.
Then no one makes a nice forward facing turn signal.
Fuck this gay industry
Best dual sport reporting in
just got my first bike
also fuck these things and the turn signals integrated into the tiny ass tail lights. They're small as fuck and so dull nobody can see them from more than 5 feet away.
Quit being a homo and just put decent indicators on.
Show me a decent indicator then.
i just leave the original indicators on. Yet everyone else continues to buy these shitty parts that don't fulfill their function.

Why is my cousin stupid?
Pic semi related. Some fellow stopped on the side of the road to make sure we were alright
Nice, a little ninja 300 I'm guessing?
How do you define "decent"? Do you prioritize form or function?
Function.
LED
Smaller than massive stock junk
Still acts as a running light in front
Isnt china shit
Isnt $100 a pair (even those are shit anyway)
yup. desu it's really good for me, since i've already fucked up a few times just today. I accidentally downshifted twice without correctly revmatching, and my rear tire kinda skidded for a sec.
>paying 10 THOUSAND dollars on a 17 year old bike
Holy shit, I can name almost every amazing bike for a beginner that starts at under 7 grand brand new out the door. Even heavier bikes are found cheaper.
Stock indicators are good.
Or don't buy Chinese shit, it's almost all worthless.
I had these on my bike and they were really dim. Better off using hand signals.
this is the absolute state of harley fags
The problem is that the human eye needs an area of illumination to distinguish what's going on other than "oh its a light." With LED's being very small point lights its hard to properly illuminate a reflector housing without a custom job. The stock "junk" is actually designed to keep you safe and the drivers around you informed of your actions in a clear manner while using cheap incandescent illumination and not requiring expensive LED panels or specialized reflectors.
The best i've found for LED signals is by layering LED's ontop of LED's. First start with replacing the "stock junk" with smaller LED's like your pic above, then augment those with additional indicator lights such as one or more of these:
By smaller, i meant not stick out super far. Like i would use my stock signals IF i could mount them closer in so they dont look like cocks hanging out each side.
The surface area of light is fine
Are Kawasakis good?
Better than suzuki
which undies will help me get a knee down?
Yes
A what?
Almost looks like volcanic rock.
I have never seen a used bike without these shitty indicators that wasn't marked up because "dude, stock, adult owned!"
And the wiring jobs are so hard to undo that I don't even bother because half the time it would be better to just buy a new harness.
Dual Sports or Enduros?
please answer

Ugly as hell
What is the appeal of non-sportbikes that look like imitation chinese sportbikes
nice, ninja 300s are super fun
exc
Problem with your statement is that it actually is a sports bike
For what? Generally dual sports are going to be geared and built for legal highway use as its primary goal, while I'd imagine an enduro is geared and built more for long-term offroad use with safety equipment slapped on for legal highway usage.
All assumptions, I have no fucking clue what I'm actually talking about.

>bars not just above triples, but above the fairings
>skinny tires
>single disk for shit braking feel and literally what heat dissipation
>two pot caliper
>conventional forks, no adjustment for rebound and compression damping
No, it's not. That's like calling a civic coupe a sports car because it has two doors and a spoiler.
Well a si or type r civic is a sports car, so what's your problem Mr no fun
>FWD
>sports car
What class are they meant to race in again? 24 hours of lemons?
Kawasaki even sells it under their sports section
Ok Mr troll, what is world touring car championship
it's a public service
based kawasaki diverting idiots who mistake 300cc twin cyllinder UJMs for sportbikes away from actual sportbikes
Bringing Kawasaki to your brainlet level of thinking, yeah no
I want to made a home made bike and I only want to buy the engine, which one is good for long-cold distances?
>not getting best bike
>There are people in this thread right now that wouldn`t stop for a bike
>What kind of shit wouldn`t stop?
Fuck wrong image
>pull up to dude with broken bike
>see SUZUKI written across his tank
>wearing no gear, just gym shorts that match his shitzuki
>ride away
Ah Mr Gauteng, why does it look so shitty there though. It almost looks rural
>not factory
Factory Tuono is literally the best bike.
Obviously not if you want to offroad/tour.
AY YO WHO'S GOT TWO THUMBS AND JUST PASSED THEIR MOD2 ON THE FIRST TRY

This picture is really old, now days there are more houses on the property for my family.They have put up street lights over the past two years to reduce crime. Business and new apartment complexes are being built closer and closer to where I stay, they want to take advantage of the cheap land. Fifteen years ago you didn`t even hear cars going by at night because there where none, now the roads can`t server the increased population. To be honest we are still classed as small farms or what is know as Agricultural Holdings.

Where do you even find knobbies that wide?
the hero /dbt/ deserves, but not the one it needs right now
Thats not an Indian

Old school KLR650?

No

Bike is winterized and it's a nice day so seeing some guy riding his KTM today hurt my soul a little. On the other hand I'm rediscovering the joy that scented trees bring to my life so it evens out.
Do any of you spray something nice smelling into your helmets? I kind of want to get the stuff Little Trees sell in a spray can but I know actual trees have a warning on them not to shove your fingers in your mouth after touching one so I'm suspicious it might be similar with the spray and I shouldn't put it in contact with most of my face.
Spray a little dab on the backside of your cheek pad or something
Well?
>seeing some guy riding his KTM today hurt
Why was it on fire?
>winterizing bike when there's still even the slightest chance of nice days
If it's not 20 degrees and snowing for the foreseeable future you keep that shit ready to roll.
How fast do you think you can go before breaking your hand or arm if you were to high five an oncoming biker?
I wish I could, I would if I had a garage of my own, or at least rented one that allowed me to do that sort of thing, but alas, money troubles limit me to a dank little basement where the bike is placed mid-november and removed once it's nice out again.
I can't believe it's already been a week. 13 more to go
interesting proposition, think the smell'll work its way to the front of the helmet during riding?
I high five a shrubbery in a curve every time i leave the freeway on my commute, hurt my hand only twice so far, so i guess over 70km/h.
Its the new built in winter feature
Alrighty, seems manageable

Inspection Autism solves another one ;^)
When I hand wash my helmet liner/cheek pads I melt a few of those fabric softener pellets in the hot water in the sink. Inside of the helmet smell good for weeks.
Tkc80s my man
Anything is a dirtbike if you want it to
Whom else has a good luck trinket on their baiku?
I've considered getting a hula girl to put on my tank
Y/n
a little crucifix on the handlebars to ward off the skid demon
Do it
Post pic
Here's mine
where do people get these?
It's not the og one, but someone in the o sticky general has them and in different shades/colors
RIP
when will we get a good looking s1000rr?
Eeeeh
I don't have a clear one desu
what the fuck is there to complain about the HP4?
nothing, I was asking when we will get a good looking s1000rr, maybe as good looking as the hp4? :)
You don't NEED that much power, its un-usesable :^)
well it basically is a S1000rr
Sport bikes are gay. Nakeds too.
Why polish a turd?
hurr who needs valve adjustment?
They all blow up m8. Some as early as 400 miles. Its not valve adjustment
They also have suzuki tier frames
what is the reddit bike and why is it the fz07?
Why do jelly fags hate on good things?

If anyone else has one, the yz cam and airbox mod are no joke. This thing is violent.
I second this.
Also assumimg you changed the throttle stop and cut the grey wire.
Also a YZ exhaust is larger diameter.
Also the subframe looks bent on that pic
End of the turn indicator argument: live in a state where only hand signals are required.
