The Motorcycle Discussion Thread
I figure there are some motorcycle guys/gals on CP, so I thought we could have a place to talk all things Motorcycles.
Tire Mount and Balance Prices (as of 10/29/16) Prices based on if you remove the wheels yourself and bring the wheels and new tires with you: Cycle Gear - $35 per wheel if you buy tires from them. $58 per wheel if you buy tires elsewhere Rawhide - $65 per wheel (assuming it would be the same at other HD dealers. they book it at 1/2 hr per wheel) C R Cycle Tires (DeSoto) - $30 per wheel Cheapest I've found my Michelin Commander II's. Seem like they have good prices on other brands too. http://www.jakewilson.com - Free 3 day shipping on orders over $75 Last edited by Dayze; 10-29-2016 at 09:02 PM.. |

Yep, going all Vance and Hines... getting away from the teardrop stock, and going with the cone on the AC.

I ended up going with XiEDs as a cheaper alternative for the time being. Though, I only replaced slip-ons so I still had the O2’s installed on the header pipes . I’ve been eyeing the Python Throwbocks, which are full pipes w/out O2 bungs I believe so I’d need to get a controller and ditch the XiEDs.

If anyone is ever looking for a ride etc., I rode this route on Sunday. There is a Casey's general store in Lexgington off of 224, however only 87 octane at the pump. Bates City there at I-70 has 91 fuel.
D hwy from Napolean/224 to Bates City is a little rough. not 'bad' per se, but definitely not smooth. Tolerable for the short distance to get over I-70 to Zhwy. Once you hit F hwy from TT, you could opt to head West on Hwy 8 from F hwy instead of going all the way to 50 hwy. Overall a good ride. took me about 3.5 hours. Lenexa - Liberty - Excelsior Springs / Lexington / Bates City / Lone Jack https://goo.gl/maps/Wni58 (I was going to embed the map, but for some reason, the route gets lost when pasting it in)

I've been having recurring dreams where I own a motorcycle and it's been bleeding into reality and I think I want one. I might do some research into gas savings to see if it would be worth it.
I'm just scared to drive one in Southern California. Doesn't seem safe. I see people put motorcycle riders in danger every day driving home from work. |

Both are good options etc. I went with the $99 XiED route for now until/when/if I get full pipes. Then I'll do the controller thing.
