^^^^^^ nice!

Here is mine.

antiant · June 19th, 2014, 04:15 PM

Hahaha, nice ride Chris! It's "cooler" than the vest.

M42 · June 20th, 2014, 08:26 AM

Got really lucky on CL a week ago. A new two piece in my size for less than half retail.

Blue Monster · June 23rd, 2014, 03:11 PM

Having lost a significant amount of fat in the last couple years I decided to re-gear.

Being a cheap Irish SOG I bought it all used, but for the gloves. I almost... almost feel bad that there is exactly $385.00 in gear and parts in that picture.

Alpinestars Spinner
Shoei Duotech LW Elite Modular
Joe R, long gloves
Chippewa Rally boots

80% Dunlop on the correct rim

Not pictured.
New sprockets and chain
Corcoran Jump boots

My oldest best Pal is an early retired automotive design engineer and bike whisperer, he has told me that he is coming over to work on my bike while I watch. Mostly because he wants to check it out and he is aware of my well stocked spirits cabinet.

"We" will change the oil, sprockets, air filter and rear tire/wheel, once complete I have a bottle of chilled Patron and some contraband Canadian brews for us.
Plus, there is always a hammock in the Dojo for the Patron inflicted.

Got the base and arm yesterday... I'm thinking the shorter arm may have been better....

Seemed to hold nicely on the way in to work though.

iamjacob · June 24th, 2014, 09:10 AM

What phone does that hold ?

I want a hard mount that holds my samsung s4 but I can't find anything. I'll probably have to buy a regular phone case and make a mount for it.

Oh and your key is awesome!

LittleRedNinjette · June 24th, 2014, 09:51 AM

Haha, thanks.

The mount holds the s5 in the commuter otterbox. Slip Grip, you can find them on ebay. http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trks...at=0&_from=R40

Looks like they have one in there for just the phone.

iamjacob · June 24th, 2014, 04:01 PM

Slick Rick!

They even have one for my current case.

Thanks!

Cool mount, I have the Ram x-grip. I figured if I ever got a new phone I wouldn't have a problem switching out the holster thing, the only thing about the x-grip is that it does this weird swiveling thing. Other than that you have to get over the fear of it falling off from the bike like this! :

antiant · June 24th, 2014, 04:39 PM

The phone dropped because of user error. It specifically states where to and how to mount the phone. That person mounted it wrong. Pictures of my mounts coming soon, but I can't find my card reader

. Will edit when I do so.

Do you mean the position he had it in? His phone (Galaxy Note 2) is also extremely thin, giving the mount a lot less surface area to hang on to. If he had it in a case it probably wouldn't have happened.

antiant · June 24th, 2014, 05:13 PM

Yeah, the position he had it in, toward the left, it was too low, the rubber stoppers need to be further up. Also, yes, his phone looks to be too thin, so probably not enough surface area as well.

Here's my mounts:

RAM Mounting Adapter > RAM Double Socket Swivel Arm for 1"" Ball Bases > RAM Mount Universal X-Grip Cell Phone Holder with 1-Inch Ball

CZroe · June 24th, 2014, 05:14 PM

I want to mount a Galaxy Note 3 here but my case options are limited by the wireless charging cover. I'm currently using the Bear Motion bumper.

Anyway, more than a year ago I put on folding blue pegs very similar to these and promptly lost the set screw that I needed to lock it in position when threaded onto the peg adapter:
http://pages.ebay.com/motors/link/?n...050650&alt=web

The only visible difference is that mine had a blue peg adapter and the grip pattern was angled straight across the center groove, though they might be sizing the peg mounting pin hole slightly larger because I reported that they were too tight for the J bike's mounting pin (I used F bike parts to mount them to my J bike).

Because I'm now getting it ready to ride again, I finally took them into Lowe's and found that they had a pack of exact replacement set screws in their specialty parts section. Amazing! I was sure that I was going to walk out of there with a normal screw protruding from my peg or something equally janky.

Latest pick up: four pack of M4 set screws.

Thats why I didn't want to use it on the bike. Dont mind it in the car so its ok for that.

Ant that video is exactly why I feel safer with the cradle mount. I get overly paranoid about s*** like that.

antiant · June 25th, 2014, 05:12 AM

Yeah, I have a mount in my car and it uses magnets, so I'll probably tether it and use additional stuff to make sure it doesn't fly off.

LittleRedNinjette · June 25th, 2014, 05:19 AM

a sturdy rubber band around the 4 posts may do the trick.

antiant · June 25th, 2014, 06:05 AM

Yeah, I want a cleaner look. My idea is to do this...

Link to original page on YouTube.

Buy the Rokform magnet and attach it to the X-Grip as the Rokform has an adhesive (it's also circular, which fits the circular X-Grip), then just attach it to the metal plate that is already hidden behind the case of my phone and voila! Extra security.

Rokform adhesive magnet + my iMagnet metal rectangular metal plate (this is behind my phone case. You can use the 3M adhesive or just let it sit freely. I have mine sitting freely, it doesn't move around in the case.)

LittleRedNinjette · June 25th, 2014, 06:34 AM

Well thats nifty.

Really like your grip, lever set up

color match looks really good thinking about that for my ninjette. Ps are those shogun barends?

LittleRedNinjette · June 25th, 2014, 08:45 AM

Thanks

Nope, stock.

Gunnarman · June 25th, 2014, 08:53 AM

They looked kinda like shoguns in the one lol but then I looked closer and realized

where'd you pick up the grips and levers from amazon or ebay?

Could you give me the length, height, width of your phone with the case?

The grips my boyfriend got for me off ebay.
The lever i think i found on ebay to but i can't seem to find them in my order history to be sure... I know it was an oddball color scheme.

Not that oddball your basically usuing kawasaki Colors, some hot pink or purple I'd say that'd be a bit oddball. Thanks btw for the info

LittleRedNinjette · June 25th, 2014, 11:48 AM

I ment the levers being black and the base being green.

LittleRedNinjette · June 25th, 2014, 12:19 PM

Lol and those pigtails may fall in the category of a lil oddball are they wind tested to 200mph like the Mohawks? No joke they say that on the Mohawk packaging

Length = 5 1/4 inches, Height = 1/2 inch, Width = a little over 2 1/2. Case = OtterBox Defender.

M42 · June 27th, 2014, 12:10 PM

This has been a good month for gear. Came across a closeout on a dainese steel core glove, in my size. Literally the last one they had, and it was an XS

My previous pair (dainese carbon cover) might as well have been a brown paper bag in comparison. These are so goddamn beefy.

LittleRedNinjette · June 27th, 2014, 01:04 PM

Got a Sena bluetooth communicator system!

antiant · June 27th, 2014, 01:06 PM

That's not the s20 is it?

LittleRedNinjette · June 27th, 2014, 03:28 PM

the SMH5

antiant · July 6th, 2014, 07:01 AM

Got a steal on a Corbin seat, **** yeah! Expecting it sometime next week. I hope it makes a huge difference.

JohnnyBravo · July 6th, 2014, 07:08 AM

Best free.99 parts ever!!!

JohnnyBravo · July 6th, 2014, 07:16 AM

Probly another oddly angled pic... Oh well it's new stuff
