I have this old timer, good for off road and racing, I have done both. I have ridden some streeters, a nice Gs-1100 82 model was fun to scream around town, but I had a buddy get crunched on his harley by a dumb broad doing her make up and not rolling to a stop hitting my buddy on his streeter and crunching his bones, no thanks ill stay off road...;)http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1622475065.jpg

Just installed new S&S exhaust on the Indian. Looks great, sounds, well, let's just say its quite loud. It barks!.

JB - Nice bike. I'm just over 21,000 miles on my 1290 GT. I bought it new 3 years ago as one last, fast TOY. Most fun ever. Upgraded the seat and Windshield. **** canned the Servo for the Cat and added a dongle to get rid of the MTC Error. Also, download the 2019 mapping for fueling and suspension. Works wonders.

Cool looking bike but doesn't that roast your leg?

That exhaust looks great but leg-b-que comes to mind .

The Indian is a blast. It's got some nice torque and handles well for a 500lb bike. But, yeah, the exhaust sits out far enough that is pushes my leg out a bit and its hot on a hot day. You can rest your leg on it but it sure gets warm. Might put the stock exhaust back on.

re: chopper in a campsite
parking a bike with the tent on the "downside" is a recipe for disaster.

My 1972 Kawasaki H2 750 Mach IV "Widowmaker" is done except for decals. No Kawi green. Had to keep it as original as possible, except for the exhaust, like my 911. Making one of these handle would take Major modifications.

My little Suzuki GT380 is now resting in a museum, Motorcyclepedia, Newburg, NY.
Notice they all mark their spot with oil, just like air cooled 911's.

Probably my favorite bike to ride.

Fantastic. I enjoyed reading about the efforts at Daytona with the Kawasaki’s back in the day. There is a former mechanic who related some interesting methods taken. Can find it on the Kawasaki triples board.

Love the H2's. So much so a few years back, I was hunting for 1 and found prices went through the roof. Then I get the idea of tracking down drag / pro street versions where the cradle was left untouched and engine #'s matched.
I thought I could put the bike back to stock appearing
I was successful, found a few but not exactly what I was looking for.

Cannot just ride the bike stock :) Slow evolution of parts and deletions. Removed the charcoal canister and smog control (CC is pending), replaced the stock mirrors and incorporated bar end with my hand guards, added some bling, CNC stator cover, pending is a new clutch slave. Overall fantastic experience. Best bike I have every owned. I have now added 10K miles, all smiles. I ride with local BMW group, mostly on the incredible GS, they laughed when I got the KTM, saying it would be trouble. Not so much laughter on the bike anymore, this thing eats miles and sporting roads easily.

Speaking of Kawasaki's.....took the Ninja out for a night ride. Lot of empty streets which was nice. Surprising how quick she is!

Recently bought this after years of lusting after one. Heavy until it’s on the move. After riding twins for a couple of decades I was reminded of the high frequency vibes. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1631628642.jpg

Yeah, but my wife's is red just like the one in the movie. ;)

What the hell is going on with the mannequin?? You getting ready to pressure wash her? ;):D

IDT she'll fold up for a ride.

I was in Milwaukee over the labor day weekend and Harley Davidson had a bike event. Two bikes caught my eyehttp://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1631664716.jpg

I like the Hemi valve cover gas tank but after looking at it in more detail, this is truly a rat rod.

The other was driven from Mexico. I didn't realize bikes can have an air ride suspension.

This is one of my bikes. 2017 R NineT Racer. It is a lot of fun and is not too uncomfortable. I can't get to the last pages of this thread. Can anyone help me? Please pm me if you know how. Thanks.http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1632009426.jpg
