YZEtc Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Installed a new rear tire, a Michelin Pilot Power 3. Seems very nice, indeed. Proof, once again, that the black and round ones are the best tires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duke Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Cleaned the bike and rims, went to the library and then explored nearby neighborhoods for potential house purchases! 1 You do you and I'll do me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Where is that? Looks pretty cool. It's a new neighborhood being built in Bluff Springs, TX. This looked like the beginnings of a community lake. 1 You do you and I'll do me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beemer Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 I had some new tires put on yesterday and no real complaints other than there's some resistance when turning/leaning. the same thing as with the original BT023's. regardless, I'm real glad to have them on because the steel belt was peeking through on the old tires. :-S Today I received my bar risers and they look to be made well, very solid feel. I haven't put them on just yet, that may be awhile before I do so the hardware could be questionable. I'll give a review on both later. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007GR5K64/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Got mine for $104https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007GR5JQK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Got mine for $117https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072PZ6N63/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Got mine for $21 Beemer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fz0s7eve Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 I like the headlight. I'd be interested in the details for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskae3 Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 The Aux lights are from TRS (https://www.theretrofitsource.com/led-lighting/daytime-running-lights.html) They're not cheap but cheaper than Denali or other high end lights. I made the mounts from my 3d printer with Nylon which is more UV and temperature resistant. I mounted them using the bold that holds the front wheel cover to the fork tube. These are pretty light so I just bought a longer M6 Bolt to accommodate the light mount. Headlights were done a while back ago with parts from TRS also. I wish I had my 3d printer then because it would have come in handy for making the housing. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eskae3 Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 yeah, my hesitation with buying the lights from TRS was the fact that I wasn't sure about the light output. They're actually really bright in daylight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member noodles Posted August 25, 2017 Premium Member Share Posted August 25, 2017 I just bought a longer M6 Bolt Looks great! Can I ask where you source your corrosion resistant bolts from?? The crap ones at big box stores rust the moment you walk out of the store. I'd rather use hex bolts than socket bolts.
