That should have read "Hulk" ability. I only got it down to the stage where it was starting to be torqued down before it snapped. It's not like I went to town trying to tighten the thing up to the point where it would never come undone.

 

Well you obviously overtightened it, or it wouldn't have happened, lol. Certainly not a warranty issue - learn from it and buy a torque wrench or three...

 

Considering doing it up to a point that wasn't even hand tight snapped the bolt, I fail to see how a torque wrench would have remedied that situation, I see your point though.

 

Went for a New Years day ride. Stopped and got a pic of this on the way home...

 

And not even a invite :itsok:

 

nice pic

 

Somebody seems to have stolen their truck cab.

 

I rode 370 miles, yesterday on the StRiple. It was a perfect day...

Knock on wood, I never got pulled over...

 

No, i'm trying to get this thread back on topic, not a place for this type of stuff.

 

So stop posting that kind of stuff, and let people get on with talking about the subject in hand... :laugh: The thread was "on topic" - the topic being what he'd done to hos Street Triple that day.

 

That police car looks much cooler than your average British one:

 

had a first time problem today. was running into work this morning and came up on another rider that i've ridden with a few times.

we switched into "blast mode" and when i tried up-shifting to 6th @ about 115mph/10.5k rpms, it simply would not shift. i tried a few times. i dropped some R's and clicked 4th/5th/6th and was normal the rest of the ride.

i'm going to look at the shift linkage this weekend and see if everything looks normal.

would a shift spindle support help? is this an indicator of pending future trouble? bike has 19k, always maintained and no other issues, rode daily.

Maybe it was your bikes way of saying "Slow down. I don't want to die today when something happens at 115 on the street." Youll get no love here.

 

115 thats it? lol jk

 

Are you using the clutch?

 

only when i shift. :curtsey:

 

Well I triiiiiied to make my own little custom flyscreen using my already-installed bracket for my Dart windscreen. Failed...twice. Gonna try again with a cardboard model first, then take measurements, then bend/cut the plexiglass...I'm not doing such a great job with this thing haha.

Following pictures are from my closest to being finished attempt. But then....CRACCKK. :yell:

 

bend plexi glass? :crazy:

Between 275 and 360* to form plexiglas.

 

bend and form are two different things

 

So forming means heating it up and then bending it? If so, then I guess I meant form the plexiglass.

 

Scottyyy, I have a black flyscreen that I took off my 08 Street, PM me, if u'd like it maybe we can work something out.

Thank you for the offer, but I used to have that flyscreen when I first purchased my bike. Ended up selling it because I didn't like the way it looked. One of the peg things within my instrument cluster backing was snapped off by the previous owner, so those don't work too well mounting on my bike anyway unless I drill a small hole through the screen's panel and ziptie it to the cluster...:laugh:

I ended up buying the Dart Manta screen because I like the way it looked when I needed to use a screen, and it was actually a little bit functional. While not using the Dart screen, I figured I would make my own mini sport screen to use the existing Dart bracket just for looks.

I may just end up taking off the upper bracket from the Dart setup when I'm not using the travel screen if I can't get my own little custom sport screen made.

Thank you anyways

 

Just got my ASV F3 levers delivered. Unfortunately have to wait a few months before I can put them on the bike as it is stored off site.

Not so much my bike but I'm going for a LASIK consultation soon.

 

My Fiance did this! She hated riding because she had to mess around with her helmet and glasses. Couldn't be happier now! You'll love it and it will improve your riding experience.

 

Ordered the TuneECU cable off Amazon Prime. Seeing a 5 star review from Tronix, was a pleasant surprise. :thumbup:

Hah, small world. Cable has not let me down yet. Still works perfect. Just use the Tune ECU drivers for it and you are golden.

 

I'm selling mine too and buying a scooter.
