    Noob trailer question

    RV park but be very quiet not to wake the tenants when collecting the windows...
  5. Honestly the TUSK brand are also pretty decent for the money, I have run them on numerous bikes for others that were more price conscious and were very crash oriented (e.g. they crash a LOT) and they have held up fine, you dont really need to spend all that money for what is in essence a consumable. Da SH!T you need for less $$$
  6. On the dual sport bikes (all sizes) its the wrap arounds because they protect in the event of a top over and Provide much more protection of errant branches hitting the hands or controls when the trails get a little skinny. They also protect from car mirrors.....

    WOW that is huge on the mains. I run 145 F 150 R stock airbox with Uni pre filter and FMF Q's Even with the open intake you have the 2/1 restricts the exhaust so you HAVE to be running super rich. Are the carbs still out of the bike if so give me a call or PM me a number (dunno if you have mine or not)

  10. To clarify based on where and how the metal was spliting the base material was under sized for the application upgrade was the right choice

    You can also run tue free version GAIA. And there are a few others that work as well but subscribe to one gets you all the features some have a one time fee
  12. I have been wearing this type of armor for years when in Death Valley and other very hot areas with a light colored jersery thrown over the top. That combination have been very good for me riding in up to 117 degrees in Death Valley (that was not a planned ride btw). The trick is NOT to only wear the black armor, but another silver or white mesh layer over that to prevent heat soak from the sun, the wind basically passes right through the armor and whatnot. It works, my problem is finding a new one to replace my current dianese that i have had for almost 8 years now.
  13. I hope you talked with George at Suspension101 @Suspenders is his username here if not do so before you make any decisions to describe his work in a word transformational
  14. @J5ive a drz400 is the exact same thing dime a dozen get anything built after 2004 most like an S model in Ca so it can be street registered Great for a bike that can do freeway speeds (65) and not blow up but have enough grunt to get up most anything. I put 12K miles on mine before I finally sold it. Many advantages and if it fits your frame a very good choice. Example of one that is basically set up for trail riding, little pricy for the mileage. https://www.advrider.com/f/threads/2009-drz-400-suzuki.1601305/
  15. 525 dead 990 no start rode out on 1290 to at least get some miles in then went home and still cant figure out wtf is going on with the 525 Gonna sideline it for two weeks
  16. Your just a pain in the ass thats all ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‰
  17. I think the 2 bike color rating idea works green yellow black This rating system might simplify it and most people know it from hiking trails and skiing and black could be 1-3 Diamond difficulty
  18. Please I watch you get dizzy reading the Sunday comicโ€™s
  19. A possible maybe on the 990 have to see what happens on Saturday. Location of meetup: Dunkin 1410 Main St, Ramona, CA 92065
  20. two categories ADV BIKE Dual Sport (dirt bike lumps into Dual Sport) This way anything that is low scale on Dual Sport would be easier on dirt bike Since most people are within these two groups it simplifies the message. Specific rides for small bikes can just add more detail like this ride is REALLY oriented to small bike due to deep sand and rock ledges so anything over a 650 would be really hard. Something like that?

    Shhhh now the cats out of the bag dammit! @Canopytheory I am in Escondido and we have tech days etc here on a somewhat unregular schedule. Best thing out of the box if get your suspension set with the proper sag, that's about a 20 minute job. PM me if you need help you can swing by on a weekend and we can get you sorted. We also teach how to pack motorcycles and how to watch people fix flats.
  24. I thought @Zubb level 3 was parking lot with sand or standing water in it? Level 3.5 if there are speed bumps or any slope to said parking lot
