Well I do like the looks of the Honda shadow vlx600 but not sure if they’re enough for her and 🤷‍♂️ I’ve also got a like on a 89 intruder 750 liquid cooled for 600obo, needs battery nothing more.

Ya that’s a lot more then I’m wanting to spend lol I’m wanting something around the 2000obo even if it is a little project it’s okay as well But cc wise where should I be looking ? 600 twin ? 800 twin or 750 twin, or 1100 or 1400 lol

So ever since I got my s40 my gf went for a ride with me on it and now she enjoys the bike so much she always wants to go with me ugh lol SO since my little s40 struggles with her and I on that bike I figured maybe I should buy a second bike for her and I to ride together and then I can enjoy...

Well the factory tire is 140/90/15, the smallest tire I have found in a white wall for bikes is a 150/80/15

Ya I have tried but I’m not having any luck lol I’ve seen guys on YouTube who have the bigger tire on the rear with actual white wall tires. But I keep getting told not to do such due to the tires size to factory 2.75 wide rim

Has no one had any experience with them before lol 🤔

So I’m curious has anyone have any experience with portawalls ?? As the rear tire of my bike is not billable in a white wall it seems. If I move to a larger size I’ve been told the bike won’t drive or handle as nice either The bike requires a 140/90/15 factory and right now I have a 130/90/15...

Well I have had bikes with them and without and I always just thought it was a cool addition to a bike is all Looking at that for a split second wouldn’t be no different then looking to my Speedo (on the tank) lol And he’s the bike still is got a carb which I like as they’re easy to fix and...

I’ve rode bikes since I was ten, but I haven’t rode for about ten years now and just recently bought this s40 now.

The bike I have and ride is more of a cruiser then a crotch rocket lol, and I find myself reach for another gear when I’m already in last gear

So I was thinking of adding a gear indicator on my s40 but can’t find any that are made for the bike, so I was wondering if I can just order one like from Amazon that has the 3 wires and wire it into my bike ?

Well I actually found a OEM ones new on a site from Alberta for about 90$ for the two and the caps. Didn’t think that was too bad plus they’re better then the goofy red sparkly ones lol

Well i measured my bar with my caliper and it’s 1.086”

So does any grip the right diameter and length fit then ? Or do I need to get ones that have my bike listed for “fitment” ??

Everything was a no go lol, went back to the old times and used some hot soapy water and SOS pad. Seemed to work well EXCEPT this odd colour, I’m unsure what it from as whether my pants slightly touched it enough to discolour or if it just heat but I doubt that it’s from heat.
