Big Motorcycles Extreme Modification


If you are the owner of a motorcycle that need to be different, so the first thought is how to dress the alias motor modifications. Then you’ll start shopping accessories and modifications here and there. More and more components you replace, and without the feel was so much budget that came out. Then you begin to realize the function of modification is more than just beautify the look of (crude). Feel right any change many-sided effect. From the psychological side you feel the pride, of the feeling function you feel nothing has changed. Also in terms of cost, has countless hepeng you spend. Result, the motor show, it might be pretty, but it can also actually seronok. Function, motorcycles easier and more tightly controlled, but can also be quite the opposite: more wild and more severe.
If the negative aspects of these functions more appear, it means you have to start evaluating the function of modification you do. Is it really means, component selection, to modify the workshop. If you feel still less force, you have to evaluate the model and finishing a modification. It may be that you have the wrong school, your garage is less accurate, or perhaps you are the less serious.
Speaking of the function is to talk about technology. Use of appropriate components, good quality, and still works best will help the overall motor performance. While talking about the display, is talking about taste. Modifikator only knows what you want to translate that will give satisfaction. Only modifikator which gives you a good components that will maximize motor performance. And, only skilled modifikator that will give you the correct input concept and make it fit the concept and the agreed budget.
Injection Motor Benefits
There’s one in the public perception of Indonesia on the motor injection machine, which he said ribet is, is more expensive. when in fact the motor with injection technology 10% more efficient in fuel consumption compared berkarburator motors, are also easy to care about it because it does not need to dismantle and sets karbu again, if the motorcycle carburetor service takes 30 minutes for the injection motor takes only 15 minutes! .
Why koq injection could be more efficient than a carburetor?
That’s because the dose given is always appropriate. from the bottom up round the gasoline-air ratio is always measuring fit, according to information from Edhi Sarwono, Technical Service Training Manager PT AHM. injection dimotor many sensors that regulate engine performance, fuel flow and air can be adjusted according to the needs of the gas openings. Another advantage, if the motor carburetor depending on environmental conditions, if the motor was in the higher places, it would be wasteful. and vice versa. but these conditions do not affect the motor injection. because of the sensors in the motor for reading the temperature of injection environment, so the fuel flow as well as the local temperature.
Care easy
If the carburetor cleaned should be dismantled so that takes a long time, not to mention the risk because it is often dismantled so that some components wear out so vulnerable, especially skepticism buoy. was to type motor that uses vulnerable injection for longer treatment time, enough so 10-15 thousand miles, it was quite the spray injector cleaner. even if used bengsin quality is good, really do not need injections left unharmed again. because in addition to sterile, AHM also been backing up fine filter before entering the injector’ll certainly be safer Hariko Handy, Deputy GM Technical Service PT AHM.

All It Takes is Motorcycle Maintenance

I ran across this article in the New York Times. It has to do with the two authors' attempt to find people who have uncovered simple solutions to world problems. In this article they found that medical workers could greatly extend their relief efforts by utilizing motorcycles to get to outlying areas of Africa. In addition, they found a way to keep the bikes maintained on a regular basis. Here's an excerpt from this excellent article by Tina Rosenberg and David Bornstein:

    "Until 2008 Kotelo could visit only three villages a week, because he had to reach them on foot, walking for miles and miles. But in February of that year, Kotelo got a motorcycle ─ the best vehicle for reaching rural villages in Africa, most of which are nowhere near a real road. Just as crucial, he was given the tools to keep the bike on the road: he received a helmet and protective clothing, he was taught to ride and trained to start each day with a quick check of the bike. His motorcycle is also tuned up monthly by a technician who comes to him. Now, instead of spending his days walking to his job, he can do his job. Instead of visiting three villages each week, he visits 20. Where else can you find a low-tech investment in health care that increases patient coverage by nearly 600 percent?" -- Tina Rosenberg and David Bornstein

Harley-Davidson Could Move out of Wisconsin

In a story by the AP, it's suggested by Harley-Davidson that the company might have to move manufacturing out of Wisconsin to help contain rising costs. Here's an excerpt by Dinesh Ramde:

    "Motorcycle maker Harley-Davidson Inc. warned its employees Thursday it could move its Wisconsin manufacturing operations to another U.S. state if it can't cut millions of dollars in costs.

    A recent analysis found a number of significant 'cost gaps' that must be filled for the company to remain competitive, Harley spokesman Bob Klein said. The largest gaps involved labor costs and scheduling flexibility, Klein said.

    'We'll be talking with the unions about how to close those competitive gaps,' he said." -- Dinesh Ramde (AP)

This most about custom motorcycles is that no matter how outlandish a potential idea may be someone somewhere will probably get around to building one. I'd wager that torque is NOT a problem with either of these bikes.

DIY Electric Motorcycle Conversion


DIY Electric Motorcycle Conversion - The old rebel rolling chassis provided us with many of the needed parts - wheels, tires, brakes, etc... which was a real bonus - but it also supplied us with many rusty, broken, stripped or missing parts. In fact, most of our difficulties were because of the old parts, not because of the conversion itself. Without these annoyances, the conversion would have taken about two and a half days.

With an onboard 48V charger and 3-prong wall plug hardwired on, recharging is easy anywhere there's a wall outlet. Charging time depends upon how depleted the batteries are, but usually they were topped off after 5-8 hours.

These motor-based 1100Ds Multistrada / SDS but in a lighter configuration and loose forward performance. Small tank and weight of the motor is located in the middle.


Riding Character

This motor is very lightweight and has great torque. countless driving position is very upright, so not tiring the rider. Stang high motor driving the motor implies ENDURO. But small tanky make this motor does not go far and should be close to pombensin. Not a problem because none other than the Hypermotard motorcycle Supermotard heavyweight match dioprasikan like street fighter.

Switchblade Vehicle is Both Motorcycle and Airplane

Scientific American reports today about a new vehicle that may soon travel equally well on the road and in the sky. Here's an excerpt from an article by Jim Nash.

    "It is safe to bet that a flying motorcycle will never be a practical transportation option, but that has not stopped Samson Motorworks, a small engineering firm in northern California's Sierra Nevada foothills, from playing the long odds. The company is building a prototype of its Switchblade Multi Mode Vehicle, or flying motorcycle, and hopes to sell a $60,000 do-it-yourself kit as early as 2011 (engine and avionics are sold separately, for about $25,000 total)." -- Jim Nash

AMA Announces Motorcyclists of the Year - Kids

The American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) has announced the 2009 Motorcyclist of the Year award. Here's an excerpt from their press release of yesterday:

    "The AMA today announced the 2009 AMA Motorcyclist of the Year with a departure: This year's recipients are a group, rather than an individual. The winners? Kids who ride motorcycles and all-terrain vehicles (ATVs). America's youngest riders were at the center of the biggest story of the year in 2009, as the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) enforced a ban on selling youth-model off-highway vehicles (OHVs)."

Motorcycle Scramble Squares not in order


My 13 year old daughter had a friend over this last weekend for a sleep over, and one of the things they accomplished was completing this puzzle that no one has done until now. We've had it for over two years.
I just had to post it for the record.

Motorcycle Scramble Squares in order!

Exile Cycles (NOT!!!!)

I was driving down the road on Monday, and spottted this bike in front of me. We came up to a stop light. I saw a sticker on the back and had to see what it said. "Exile cycles".



I was humored.




SOOO NOT EXILE.

Grabitpack

This is something I saw on http://news.motorbiker.org/blogs.nsf A.K.A. Bikes in the Fast Lane.

I'm not huge on doing reposts, but this one was something that I felt I had to share.

I'm doing this on the assumption that not everyone reads that blog. And I would hate for any of the people who read my blog to miss out on this if they were interested.


It is a really great option for those of us without saddle bags on our motorcycles, or a great option for anyone just looking for quick access to the wallet, cell phone, going through tolls if touring, etc.
I always wonder how I'm going to haul my stuff. My pockets in my leather jacket get stuffed, and I don't always want to wear a jacket, especially when it's hot. Sometimes I get lucky and ride with others who are willing to share their saddle bag or luggage bag storage with me.
I can't do the back pack thing. It doesn't work for my look, and fanny pack? Not fitting of the look either in my opinion.

I'm seriously thinking about getting one. It is really affordable.
I believe this might even come in handy for bikers, "like the kind that pedal".

A new biker word to add to the dictionary


.
At a Motorcycle repair shop I frequent, there is a funny word that they use to describe making a bike look cooler than it already is, or is not.
.
The first time I heard it was when I had a stock Harley, and was in there looking at options to make it Bad Ass.
.
We talked about all of the things that could be done, and the list started, and the financial drain started as well.
.
So my New Webster's Dictionary word addition suggestion is:
.
coolify
Pronunciation: kool . if . eye
Function: adjective
Etymology: English slang biker giberish
Date: sometime after the start of the19th century
1: cool, or kool : To be lacking the stock motorcycle look:
2:To coolify, usually marks the start of ones financial drain , and loss of self-control.
A cool and calculating bike builder should be the administrator of "coolifying" ones motorcycle.
.
Special thanks to Wizard and Stormy for using this wicked word, and making it part of my vocabulary.
.
Special thanks to Stormy Custom Bike Works for helping me "coolify" my Harley.

Interview with Mr. Motorcycle
Posted on May 5th, 2008 by admin
While doing the Top 100 Motorcycle blogs a couple of weeks ago, I discovered some interesting blogs about riding a motorcycle, the biker’s lifestyle and their passions. I’ve bookmarked some of them and subscribed to their RSS feeds so I can get updates automatically (by the way, you can get updates automatically by email from the Honda Motorcycles blog as well, by clicking on orange subscribe button on the right panel), then I realized I would love to know more on the riders. That’s how I came with the idea to do a series of interviews with the motorcycle bloggers in the top 100.
First on the list is Mr. Motorcycle, a Harley rider from Minnesota. Amongst others, he is a motorcycle custom painter, father of 2 (he says 5, 2 children, 2 cats and a custom Harley) and blogger. Here is what I found out: (Click link to read more) Interview with Mr. Motorcycle
