FWIW, I don't think that is his bike in the photo.

Please do. Tank life is not a common mod I've seen done to the LR.

Since I cannot ride, I have been studying the various ways one can mount a video camera. I plan to start riding in 2017 with two GoPro Hero 5 cameras. One will be getting the action behind me and one will get the forward view. Been busy looking at a dizzying array of products for mounting a camera. So far, I am leaning with a harness that will allow me to mount the cameras on my shoulders.

Had a little fun this weekend, turned over 3k on the bike since I got it in September. Riding this thing never gets old, especially in the sunny CA winters...lol

Wonder how much of that the forks can take before exploding, haha!

Have to admit, I've never clutched up a cruiser before.

It's a lot of fun, mostly because they definitely weren't made to do this. Good thing fork seals are easy to replace

It's the steering head bearings/races that take the "hit" from wheelies...

Well, this and the oil pump is cavitating as its outa the oil pool. Can you say,"No oil pressure?"

Haven't had any issues yet. Keeping on the throttle when coming back down minimizes the impact on the front end, have heard of issues with oil pressure but seems mostly to come from the guys holding the 12 o'clock wheelies. No fun comes without side effects - ride it, break it, rebuild it, repeat.

Same here. DynaKid94 is doing the one thing most of us living in the colder areas of the USA wish we could do: ride.


I think about it every day. Still at least 6 more weeks to go before I can start riding again.
