New mods and gear for the bike!

SANguru · #1 10-12-2005, 10:48 PM

Picked up some new gear for the bike... alpinestar stunt leather jkt, Scotts Steering Dampener (hate that tankslapping), Bull bar stand with Fender Eliminator, and of course, can't forget.. the cheapest mod that can save your bike.. the Shogun framesliders..

Also not pictured... The GP style rearset with the reverse shift pattern (best mod as upshifts are pressing down instead of preloading to go up) and power commander III USB. Also picked up a AGV Ti-tech helmet that's I've been waiting for.. as for pipes... what do u guys think? Yosh or Akrapovic??

Cool mods!....Including the jacket. I know you havent had the bike long but Im curious to know how many miles have you put on it so far?

about 75 miles... loving it but definitely have to work on my skills since I haven't ridden in about 10 years.. Funny thing is after going out in a bike... even never going WOT or even more than 1/2 throttle, the M5 feels sooo slow.. It is also making me really aware of my surroundings since there are so many stupid ass drivers out there..

J: Nice GearStuff!

Wish I had your budget, though when I crave more M'ycle Junque it is usually redundant or extraneous and just "sits" in the corner.

That's a fineazz lid you got. As for those frame sliders...good protection, but my rec'd is to Never get that far leaned over,

.

You are absolfookinlutely correct on the complete lack of driving skills and attention paid, by the avg. car driver. After 42 yrs of street riding and a few before that in the woods, I am less and less enamored of riding these days.

Keep it under a buck and a half and between the fences!

PS: Scuff those tire edges in before you hammer any corners!

HEY SAN...

Cool mods.. I have put about 200 miles on my scoot since getting it.
Also did the motorcycle safety course this past weekend.. Definately take it if you have not already.. Helps a lot.

Also, my bro took delivery on his Harley two days ago. It's a Screamin Eagle Fat-Boy..

Been riding the canyons near my house.. I think there is no better place to ride than California.. Except for maybe the traffic. But I can leave my house, drive 3-5 minutes in any direction and find a great scenic ride.

Keep the shinny side up.

I must honestly say that I did not understand ONE word of what you just said...

Me neither. It's all pops and buzzers to me.

I'm waiting for him to get a sidecar. This is what he'd look like with Sunshine riding shotgun.
