It looks like turbo boosters from an 80s sci-fi (I mean that in a good way). Here's some missile launchers to go with your countermeasures. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZrEiP8X0AbA

Went by a local shop for some clamps, no dice and had to go to the Harley dealer... they were having some wing-ding or other so I took a walk around. Only bikes worth looking at (that were NOT chromosexual celebrations of bro-hood):      And this non-sporty had a cool idea for a tank mount  And just because it was a nice bike

Optical illusion.. what you are seeing is the front tank mount tab connected by a heim joint to hard point coming off the bottom of the backbone. I thought it was creative. Behind it they hung a gremlin bell/charm thing...

A 2003ish R1200CL - review: http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/69/886/Motorcycle-Article/2003-BMW-R1200CL.aspx I bet with some newer R1200 pieces, that guy could go. What they say about feeling ungainly in sub-30mph curves seems pretty common for a large, big-displacement tourer; made more for miles on the highway than canyon carving. My Ulysses could be characterized similarly in this respect - in tight stuff it's a bit of a wrestling match to flick it around with its high CG.

I can't decide if I love it or hate it. But I really want to ride it. Oh right this is the pics thread. Here's a VMax with a bunch of R1 parts and custom work on it:  Here's some crazy gauges worked in:  And here's a pretty neat thing to do if you happen to already have fake ram airs strapped to the side of your bike:  And an iron man/halo headlight mod for running lights:  I may have been spending too much time looking at VMax mods...

Where are people getting these LED headlights? Also, anyone have any idea where to get (I see them mostly on Harleys) the standard round headlight that appears to contain one or more HID projector lenses?

I'm pretty sure those are just running lights and not the full blast headlight. I assumed they added a switch for it... if that's all that headlight does now then that mod is pretty dumb. Kuryakyn is typically to blame for all things odd lighting if you've been seeing a lot of them. I did a google for HID and Kuryakyn and there's a 'how to install HID headlight on your Harley' youtube vid within the first 5 results. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojcij-uF5b8 And a DIY for making them dual: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPdvr-nxho8 As long as JCWhitney still mails catalogs you'll see whatever new thing Kuryakyn has cooked up showing up all year, year after year.

The lights you refer to on Harleys are most likely the LED headlights sold by H-D themselves, made by JW Speaker. Edit for iPhone fuckery. Here4DaGangBang fucked around with this message at 14:18 on Aug 29, 2012 |

The scooter is perfectly fine. I was mostly referring to the leather tassels on said scooter's levers.

How much does the rental run you, and from where? I've always wanted to rent some bikes.

hayden. posted:How much does the rental run you, and from where? I've always wanted to rent some bikes. Last time I was in San Jose I rented a 883 Sportster for 3 days over the weekend from the local Harley Davidson dealership. I think most Harley dealerships rent bikes. I just went online and googled bike rentals. I paid for the highest insurance coverage at $30~ a day along with the rental fees, I believe I paid around $250 for once all said and done. I put 600 miles on the bike from the time I picked it up Friday at noon to when I dropped it off Monday morning. It was awesome.

HNasty posted:I'm in San Francisco for the week and I'm renting a motorcycle Beautiful bike! I ride a Bonneville myself and would love to know how you found the rental place--I want to rent a Bonneville on my next trip. If you've got a day to spare, I recommend riding down to San Jose, then getting on Hwy 130 up into the hills. You'll twist and turn up a big mountain until you reach the Lick Observatory with a great view of the south bay. Hwy 130 then twists down the other side of the mountain and after 10-15 miles you'll hit The Junction, a little motorcycle/bicycle restaurant out in the middle of nowhere. If it's not too crowded, they have pretty decent food; if it is crowded, food will take an hour to get out, so just check out the other bikes. Take Mines Road north from there for a nice 30 mile ride (on two- and one-lane roads) into Livermore. If you didn't have lunch at The Junction, stop at First Street Alehouse in Livermore for lunch. Although it's only a 50-ish mile ride through the hills, it's wild and twisty and awesome.
