So what kind of supermotos are you planning to buy? Street bikes, converted dirtbikes, track-only bikes?

Z3n posted:Looks like at the moment the plan is a Husky 610 for the g/f, and a KTM 690 for me. I also want to pick up a reasonably priced (ideally, 2k or less) street legal dirtbike that can also handle serious MX type stuff (ie, learning to jump, whoops, etc), to start training for supermoto races. Any suggestions? Or am I gonna have to suck it up and buy a non-street legal bike and drive it out to offroad areas? http://www.2strokeworld.com/forum/index.php?topic=4498.0

Your first CF project should be to make some CF airbox covers for the first-gen Bandit 1200. Then throw them away. Into a shipping box labeled with my address.

Z3n posted:Honestly, it'll probably look better if you just spray painted them with that CF spraypaint than me doing my first CF piece. I have a feeling I'm going to end up being hilariously bad at this. But that's ok, that's where the fun is. I know, I was kidding. CF airbox covers for the Bandit are like $300, and I refuse to pay that for a 5 inch wide blob of CF. Theres an idea though. If you get good, you can sell CF airbox covers to Bandit guys for something less than $300, and probably make a killing.

Which ones? I feel like most of the KTM wheels are unpainted, and the silver color looks kinda bleh in my mind, especially against a yellow DRZ that is begging for black wheels.

Can you feel those little spiderwebs with your finger? Or are they not deep enough? I'm wondering if that contributed to the oil consumption too?

Jharkov posted:Z3n, are you getting the same stiction i have with my forks? The suspension shop says its normal for these twin chamber MX forks, but im not entirely convinced I'm pretty sure it is normal. Between me and two buddies who all had DRZSM's, all of our forks had some slight stiction. Its just the design.
