I did some spray painting on a friend's bike recently

Thanks John! And I should really take that video down lol... or maybe I should post it on OnlyFans? Hm

Dude you started the thread asking for advice...?

Like I said before, if you're happy with your paint job, then good. It WILL likely fail eventually, but you can always just do the same procedure...

Yeah that sounds about right. Or like my buddy did when I put an entire front clip on his car (after removing it from the parts car)... kept the beer stocked the whole time, a little lunch. He even...

Yep you're a regular master refinish tech.

I bought a set of carbon covers for the "S" I had. I never actually installed them before I sold it, but they did seem to fit in place very well. If I remember right they were from Ebay, but I cant...

I have used that trick on atv and dirt bike plastic. I think they're more of a polypropylene which is kind of more "oily". The heat gun (I am inpatient and use a propane torch) trick works okay on...

Keep us posted on how long that stays stuck... I'm guessing not long.

#1: yes
#2::indecisiveness: dunno

Im not so sure the ss shock will be much lower (if at all) than the xt shock, which is already shorter than a X. ? Maybe you've already got this figured, either way id be curious to know for sure

I did the same thing with geo trackers for a few years. Buy them for 5-600 bucks. Basically went over them, refreshed everything, nice wheels a little lift kit and then I'd sell only to start on...

Lol... maybe :D if I could find one I'd probably do the same though

This sounds like a good excuse to buy another clapped out bike!

I wondered about this too. Kind of assumed they'd be almost "made to order" with very limited sales locations, maybe they can talk some powersports stores in to taking up the brand. The buzz ive...

My personal choice would be to re thread it. Either a different sized plug or helicoil it.(unless theres some reason I'm unaware of that makes it more difficult on this part) I could have either...

For once I agree with cooter lol. Hope they can do it! Might be cool to see that "super tourer" go up against the pan America, go from zero american adventure tourers for sale to two wtf?!

I'll take a look:up:

Im sure if I wanted to mess around with actually tuning the bike for what I've got it wouldn't be a terrible performer, but I'm lazy and rather just plug it in and go

Good points. Im not very concerned about serious off road worthiness, but a good thought for others considering this for sure!
Ive read the exhaust shoot out pretty thoroughly. Ideally I'd like...

So, I'm considering this pipe for my Ulysses. I'm currently running a modified stock muffler with a race map. Bike sounds good and runs fine, but I'm sure I've leaving some power on the table. ...

I've got 2.

Still dont understand how a QS shift wont damage a transmission, but "proper" clutch free upshifts will. They're doing basically the same thing as far as the transmission is concerned

I dont remember anything in the Geratol commercials about lightning quick shifting? Is there another supplement you're taking to keep up your reflexes John?

Really? I was always under the impression that shifting by blipping the throttle correctly at proper rpm was perfectly fine on any motorcycle trans. Guess I'm being unduly hard on stuff?
...

I clutchless shift all the way up through the gears if I'm ripping on it. Cant say theres any difference per gear so your deal is strange for sure.
Seems really strange for the clutch cable...

Flush the brake fluid. The 04 I sold locked up the front brake on the new owner the day he bought it (i felt terrible) , turned out to be junk in the master cylinder.
