The one upside of not having snow is being able to ride year-round. Also not shoveling...

How do you all feel about carbs vs FI?

Oh my god so sick. What models are those bikes? I want to try and find one.

 

[Stein]

So I know I just posted in here about having my bike back, but nope. I only got to ride it once.

You may notice the cut ends of all those wires, cables, and hydraulic lines coming out from around the tree.

did someone seriously steal the handle bars?

Yes... Four bolts for the bar clamps, then they undid the brake banjo bolt but cut through my brand new clutch line (wtf? its the same exact bolt you dumbass), cut all of the wiring, cut the throttle cable and the choke.
I'm trying to make deals with some guys on ebay parting their bikes, but if I can't get a deal it'll be about $200 for everything.

Just what I needed...

That's fucked up. Who did you piss off?

 

[C-Rolla]

There's a bunch of different ones there.  Mine (Second one in on larger end) is an Orion X3R.  The bigger one is a PitsterPro LXR155, there is a pair of SSR 125's, One Original CRF50 (Which now has an SSR110 Motor) and one other brand I don't remember the name of.  There really isn't much left in the state for used ones, I think we bought all of them, but search for Pit Bikes.  

 

[Meyagi]

I can post here now

too bad this is the only place you will see it, its kickstart only and garrett cant start it

 

[GClark]

Hey I only tried it once when I got home.  Ill be riding it over break guaranteed. 

 

[skipow]

the real question is, what are you gonna carry in the trumpet case?

 

[Matt]

One time... At band camp

My trumpet. Duh. 

 

[Stein]

I have no idea. It's probably nobody I know, and the police said that normally vehicle break-ins and thefts are by non-students.
Cities suck...

if maine cycle ever re-opens their ware house i know they have some magna parts that you could get for a fraction of the cost. otherwise for a bike that old sometimes its cost effective to scrounge craigslist for a whole parts bike. 

 

[Vecken]

this makes me want to do dangerous things...

 

[Matt]

That warehouse is amazing!!!!

Maybe. I'd have to pay a lot for shipping though.So far its going to be $230 including another new clutch line off ebay. Not terrible, but really stupidly high compared to what I payed for the bike.

Someone else just brought to my attention a craigslist ad very close to me for the big-brother magna, the 1100CC V65, in almost-running condition. I think the price is a typo, but I'm going to give him a call anyway.

I've seen the v45s Around, they are around just expand your search, I've decided to just buy a second Honda shadow identical and use mine for parts.

Very little from the V45 fits my V30... Parts are already ordered from ebay. I have a spare clutch master that I need to go fetch and get the banjo threads to get an extra bolt from the guy making my clutch line, that'll be the last piece I order.
