Finally got around to taking the Yamaha out yesterday. Perfect weather for it!
-
they look like some nice roads there @crease
-
@Baba-san yeah we have some really nice ones here in Colorado once you get into the mountains.
-
@goosehd Dang that's a bummer! Yeah here I think you can license any motorcycle that has a headlight, brake light and mirror. Not even sure you need turn signals!
This is a WR250R though so it came with all that from the factory, I just upgraded a lot of it. -
Swapped the bars out again and installed some extended fork tubes for more gnar. This thing is super comfortable now.

It was my wife’s idea (awesomely), but here a shot of me from our wedding last week
Probably should have washed it…

how much over are those forks?
-
@injunjack They're 4" over from TC Bros. Strange thing is, they're the same height (axle to fork cap) as the 6" over tubes we put on my buddies....BUT, they're 2" shorter than the 6" over 35mm tubes I put on my Ironhead....so. I'm thinking my buddy ordered wrong. lol

random question for those in the uk: how does MOT work with motorcycles?
mainly do they check exhausts? I'm wondering if many aftermarket exhausts are legally approve and if inspection is yearly, for those running non legal aftermarket, do people swap them out just for the inspection?

Picked up a ZED recently in the Jaffa colour scheme..WHAT a bike

@Dmart they're stupidly quick. that's the v2 yes?

It all depends if you have a 'friendly' MOT Tester you can go to. Strictly speaking pipes need to be BS approved or stiffed for highway use to go through the MOT, and you certainly don't want the 'Not for highway use' stamp showing your aftermarket pipe if possible.
I have a few 'noisy' bikes (old and new) and have no real problems with getting an MOT with my usual tester
