thinking about an upgrade

alex.s · July 20th, 2011, 09:15 PM

the more i look at the pregen, the more i can't stop looking away...

... i want one.

Cazper · July 20th, 2011, 09:22 PM

Is that an upgrade? Also, just how many bikes are you planning on having? I will be the first vulture on your current 250 if you part it out...lol

alex.s · July 20th, 2011, 09:24 PM

xD haha.i guess its technically a downgrade though stock the pregen is supposedly faster...

Cazper · July 20th, 2011, 09:26 PM

Yeah, but yours isn't exactly stock... so a stock pregen wouldn't be as fast as yours

alex.s · July 20th, 2011, 09:28 PM

true... but i've been thinking about switching back to stock handlebars... that's gotta drop at least 2 hp...

Cazper · July 20th, 2011, 09:32 PM

When you switch back to stock rear sets let me know

alex.s · July 20th, 2011, 09:38 PM

haha will do. the only thing holding me back on the handlebars is my brake line... i have a woven steel line but its too short for the stock bars... even with the woodcrafts its very close... but wait a second... you have a stock brake line... Hmmmmm.......

Cazper · July 20th, 2011, 09:41 PM

You didn't keep your stock brake line? Do I hear a switch coming on

alex.s · July 20th, 2011, 09:43 PM

for some reason i used the stock line on one of the bikes i'm building :-/

let me think about it for a little while but it sounds like a good idea

haha maybe i can swap the whole bike for a pregen!

Cazper · July 20th, 2011, 09:46 PM

I'm sure you probably could find someone that would jump on that opportunity!!!

Shawn · July 20th, 2011, 09:54 PM

I'd trade bikes lol

00NissanNinja · July 20th, 2011, 10:24 PM

I was actually thinking of getting a pre gen as a track beater one day so I can learn to ride better and push it to the limits.

Cuongism · July 21st, 2011, 01:21 AM

Want my stock lines? They are technically 3 years oldish though. Dibs on your headlight...

Flashmonkey · July 21st, 2011, 07:21 AM

Pregens are awesome! I don't know why everyone's so quick to get the newgens. It's quick, it comes with a handle on the back so that you can pick it up if you need to, and it's easy to work on. I did a valve adjustment with a goddamn screw driver!!

Bosgarage57 · July 21st, 2011, 07:25 AM

I'll trade ya alex

Hehe!

I didnt pay for it but to buy that headlight new its like 400$

Fancy bimmers

If you prefer the pre-gen, then by all means get one.

I personally have to always lean towards the new-gen. It simply handles better out of the box, especially for my weight with its preload settings.

Kevin2109 · July 21st, 2011, 01:09 PM

Alex..... I have stock bars..... with a stock cable.....

maybe this is why i haven't been able to look past the pregen... i haven't ridden one yet!... anyone in SD with a pregen who wants to take a ride and swap bikes for the ride?
