Last weekends' ride. Big boys chasing yours truly.

Time to "make stuff" again. This should be fun. I got a fully adjustable Powerparts steering damper for a 990 Super Duke underway, and loads of other bits and bobs. The plan is to make this as clean as possible, and it should look stock once finished. Yes, that bolt right there is in the...

A nice July 4th ride with good friends (SDR1290, Streetfighter V4S, Tuono V4F…)

So, my little bike is 4 years old, and I had to replace the plunger in the master cylinder once already two years ago, because it got stuck. The lever wouldn't return decently (making the clutch slip under WFO). Last week I noticed it had problems returning again. So Saturday opened it up...

Title says it all, anyway in the US has a rear brake pedal in decent condition?

Title says it all. Anyone in the US has a right side radiator cover and willing to part with? edit: found

It's time, it was fun. 2018 Husqvarna Vitpilen 701. An absolute gem in the canyons. ~75hp with a real (measured) weight below 350lbs with an up/down quickshifter. Bike is clean, no damage. Garage kept, and never saw rain. I am the second owner and bought the bike in November 2019 with 580...

ok friends, you've heard me about other bikes before. So, lately the love for my little Vit was slowly dying. It had developed into a love/hate relationship. I love the way it looks, but I was slowly starting to dislike the way it steers. Too sensitive on the front wheel/bars, too much...

(Always loved redheads) Nothihg new here of course, yet it wins the beauty pageant for me with the red bodywork and the cast wheels.

Not impressed, but only 77 in each color made so I guess it will be expensive and sold out it minutes… (Yes that is a ‘Pilen headlight)

I see this beautiful DesertX become an instant classic. I'm in love. I know, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Both the Norden and DesertX were initially revealed at EICMA two years ago as prototypes. But while the Norden is already becoming a bit dull, this machine just got more and...

I know, too heavy, wheelbase too long, that 19” front wheel and underpowered to hang with the big boys. But it is what it is.

We have all seen this right? I totally love that front fairing. So much I ordered one (without the winglets btw).

I’m so sad it was never sold in the US. 😢

Yo! A friend of mine just received the first of a few Badwinners shipments to build her own Badwinners Leclerc 701. Yes, the full monty! Anyway, included in the kit are 5.5x17" Dymag carbon fiber wheels. This size should accept 180 width tires. Here's the thing, I know first hand even a 160 on...

Not by me btw.

Mupo Racing rear shock Mupo Racing fork cartridges Whopping rear wheel/tire (stock is 150/70-18, this is a 190/55-17) Couldn't be more different from my Vitpilen, both massive fun in the canyons 🤘

Did they need any adjustement? Im doing it tomorrow if I find the time, but I don’t have a box of shims or a micrometer (yet). Just curious what to expect.

Ok friends, I live in canyon heaven. The roads here are super winding, and rough. Ruts from trees under the tarmac, patches, crumbled tarmac, cracks. Also, no room for errors. Stuff like this. When I got my Vitpilen 701 year and a half ago, I could never become friends with the stock tires on...

After 15+ years of spooning tires off and on, I gave myself a present today.
