The Motorcycle Discussion Thread

I figure there are some motorcycle guys/gals on CP, so I thought we could have a place to talk all things Motorcycles.

Tire Mount and Balance Prices (as of 10/29/16)

Prices based on if you remove the wheels yourself and bring the wheels and new tires with you:

Cycle Gear - $35 per wheel if you buy tires from them. $58 per wheel if you buy tires elsewhere
Rawhide - $65 per wheel (assuming it would be the same at other HD dealers. they book it at 1/2 hr per wheel)
C R Cycle Tires (DeSoto) - $30 per wheel

Cheapest I've found my Michelin Commander II's. Seem like they have good prices on other brands too.

I wish I could hear that thing with either of them on it.
there's local shop here where the owner drags a handful of 'Busas. also one of the best small shops in town to get 'Busa (or otherwise) work done.

you should ride out to get it worked on and so I can hear it. Bring plenty of Ibuprofen along for the ride, however.

Quite stealth is great for avoiding tickets, not so great for avoiding drivers though. I know my neighbors are going to be pissed because I leave at 5 am and am in the middle of the mountains where they never have to hear anything for the most part except for owls and coyotes.

....and now 'Busas.


Loudest damned exhaust/slip-on I ever had on my sportbikes was a D&D. I'm assuming most likely a cheap pos model of one of their exhausts. I p ut that thing on, and rode for a bit and thought "yeah....this is way too loud" lol.

but all is good.. No tickets since I crashed the bike about 2 weeks later.

are you still running stock headers and going to a full system? the weight savings is huge (as I'm sure you already know)

Yes I am stock. I will lose 40 pounds with the 14" system approximately. I will be at 200hp and 500 pounds. Going to throw the speedohealer on there too. I was considering putting on a high performance air filter as well which is supposed to have a noticeable hp increase. IT says only for track though so I need to do a little due diligence there. I may also do a few smaller things, zero gravity fairing. custom seat that lowers me 1.5 inches and a few cosmetic tid bits.

It really is amazing how heavy the stock header setup is on sport bikes is. I'm not sure if its because of regulations coming over to the states (CAT etc) or what. But I'm always shocked at the weight savings every time I read about it. Even though I'm aware of it. Insane.

Post a vid of that sucker when you get it installed.

I don't think you can go wrong in your decision. I've had Harleys since '69. Started with the little Italian ones as a kid and moved on up. M50, Rapido 125, Baja 100, a couple Sprints (raced one on an ERS hardtailframe) 1973 XLCH, 1974 XLCH, 1979 XLH, flat track 250, XR750, another 1973 XLCH, 1982 XLHA (still have), 2003 FLH w/sidcar, 2008 FLH (Ultra Classic if u prefer). Rode the Sportys around the country. The 1974 I took from Central IL to Wyoming down through Rocky Mounts to New Mexico over to Florida and back to ILlinois. Harley shops are all over, so you'll always have somewhere to stop and say hi or get service. They are not small shops like the old days, but they are usually welcoming and bearable. If ur young u won't notice or care.
Bikes are a lot like women. Choose the one that makes tu feel good and that u want to love. Maybe not the prettiest, slimest, fastest sexiest, but she's yours. Good luck,
Hog (harley) Rider

an AIDS old question (see what I did there?).
I think both brands are excellent choices. Harley has come a long way from the AFM, rattle-bucket, oil dripping days. I think, In my opinion, they have finally shaken that stigma.

Victories, I think took a cue from Harley in terms of capitalizing on some of HD's issues (perceived, or not), and offering a huge alternative to the HD brand.
Both companies have continued to become even stronger over the last 15-20 years IMO.

THe other part of your quest, is what type of riding do you plan on doing. I've told my friends who were interested in bikes to ask themselves that question honestly. It was mostly given as advice for them when they asked what kind of sportbike to get; or 'is 600cc's enough" etc. But the question still remains.

Do you want to go on long prolonged rides? Do you want to ride 2-up very frequently? How often do you plan on riding? How much do you want to spend? Will you ride it enough to justify the cost? etc.

I LOVE the Street Glides. I will most definitely own one within probably 6-7 years. But right now, due to time constraints and other things, I couldn't justify the cost yet. So that's why I went with the 72...well, that, and I was planning on bobbing out something eventually, but this is like a poor-man's bobber. And also, it's perfect for me right now. something to bomb around town on. and still be able to get out of town on, and it's killer looking.

The key is to be honest with that question. Otherwise you end up with something that's more than you wanted to spend compared to riding it; or you might discover you don't like riding as much as you thought etc.

Honestly, the two manufacturers are so close and compete so vigorously for market share, that either brand will leave you more than happy IMO. Victory might have been one of the better things o happen to HD; that and the EVO motor.

as far as reliability, both will ride forever. I wouldn't hesitate in buying a 30K+ mile bike with the right maintenance history.

Stop by this thread; that's what it's here for.

lol. that. Great thing about bikes is it really doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. You're on two wheels, you're good with me. I get ribbed pretty good by some of my brothers friends who ride the tourers about my 72. "That thing only gets 80miles or so per tank!!! damn!!! Mine gets xxxxxx". well, duh lol. For what it's built for, she's perfect.

As of right now I have a CBR 600rr and with my busted shouIder and back I can't ride for very far..my wife will ride with me a lot and we will be going at least 200 miles on a trip..we both love to get on and ride..we both just want something we can get on and go and it will be a soft comfortable ride..thanks for the advice..The wife is pushing for a Victory Hardball or Crossroads..so I'm thinking whatever makes momma happy is my choice as long as it's dependable

I had been a sportbike guy my entire life. Old age, and fear of going to jail moved me on from them. I will say, i LOVE the cruiser mindset (be it HD or Victory, or Honda etc). There's just something different about it.

....and you're right...you'd better make sure the back seat is up to her comfort standards lol.

If you're not dead set on a particular model from HD or Victory, Yamaha makes VERY good cruisers. Better than the other metrics by far IMO. and you can stretch a dollar very far on those, as well as the used market. There are a shit load.

On the Street Glides... Those are my favorites as well. I have a hard time visiting the dealership nowadays - fighting the urge to leave on one.
