There are a few options for loosing speed going that fast (or faster, ive done close to 80km/hr). You a) spread your arms and stand up straight to wind break. b) drag your pushing foot (foot break) c) slide stop or speed check (similar to stopping/speed checking with a snowboard) d) bail or e)...

Man. Love longboarding. Got to the point when my collection of boards was ridiculous (10ish?) so i started making my own. It's nice to see a focus on female riders in a quality video. Now i just wish i had more time for all of my hobbies (dont we all?)

Bahahahah. Sorry that's my bad ::). I literally just finished an oil change in my car and unfortunately that transposed into my typing. Ive been using 10w40 quaker state for my bike. That's good to know! thanks for the heads up and sorry for my blunder!

Thanks for the tips swivel. Much appreciated. About the engine oil, what is the difference between the so called MC oil and your typical 5 w 30? Other than the price of course.

Cool, that's about what I expected. I had read through the manual already and I'm pretty anal in making sure things are in good running condition, especially when being a fair distance from home.

Hey all! Looking for some advice and/or stories about your bike trips. I'm interested in doing a round trip this summer from Saskatchewan to Southern Ontario (2900 km one way, or around 1600 miles). I've done quite a bit of highway driving with my bike (kz550) and know that it should be fine...

I figured that was the case as it was stated so earlier in the post. I was just curious as to how the seat looks with the original kawasaki rails forming not parallel lines with the seat, or if the seat was deep enough to hide the frame rails.

Got any side pictures of your bike? Specifically the seat and how it sits on top of the battery box mount.

It's a little depressing to look at a post 4 years old and realize you're the only that's responded to Saskatchewan haha.

Man this thing is beyond rad.... Those guages rock. THe details in this is what makes it for sure.

Man that's rad. I love the car that's just tagging along. Def adds to it haha

Thanks Teazer. Yah I figured i'd check to see if anyone had experience with em knowing that they are significantly cheaper than most other setups. THey look pretty rad, but looks don't count for squat if they fall apart when you need em the most.

I see!! Thanks for both you responses. I'm glad to know a couple people have been eyeing them. I also never thought about the size of the bore. THanks for that Staffy. I'll let y'all know what i decided to go with.

Well it's your ride, if you don't like the way it looks or want something different, do it! Or sell it and start a new project. It's easy to get caught up in always wanting to change that little something that looks off to you. On that note, a rounded cowl would look good on the back of yours...

I realize you didn't mean it literally (I think?....), but I have to ask.... What were you doing around cannon balls?!
