(05-09-05) What would you change on your bike? - Page 2 - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

viper94bite · 05-12-2005, 09:24 AM

Other. I would change the chain drive to a belt drive, a wider rear tire would be nice as well as a different seat. Other then that I like it. Well it could be a 1500 or bigger.

Why would you want a wider rear tire ... oh, wait ... you're a cruiser ... never mind ... you don't know the joys of a mountain pass or canyon road

You're priorities are still screwy boy!

Besides they work like CRAP on an old GSX-R. Don't bother.

I'd like sometime to get my Gixxer painted with the Scheme of my Arai Okada Quantum...with the Dragon.

I didn't realise you couldn't take a cruisers on a cayon pass or a mountain pass. I think taking the bike to it's limits, and your limits, is as much fun no matter what your riding. Take the corners a little slower on a cruiser (which would still be relativly fast) , roll on the throttle and scrape the pegs ... Rushhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!! It's even fun on a mountain bike, skate board, street luge, roller blades, Porche 911, Chevette.

viper94bite · 05-12-2005, 01:31 PM

I would second that if we had moutains here but we do have some twisty roads.
agree 110%

themeatmanlandry · 05-12-2005, 02:19 PM

I'd make it blacker.

iroc_eater · 05-12-2005, 02:33 PM

I went with Turn Signals.......need to get some for the back

NWEng · 05-12-2005, 02:34 PM

Man, I'd change almost everything just for the sake of upgrading, making it different, etc. But seeing that this is my first bike, implying that there will be a second bike in the foreseeable future, I think it's best for me to resist the temptation. For now.

I'll be your passenger if you don't mind my wandering hands.

BTW Wider tire= lousy cornering but rock steady in a straightline.

Yep, they take the place of your bar end weights.

6th gear for the highway.

Dwayne Hicks · 05-13-2005, 02:04 PM

I chose other, as I want to get a new exhaust, wheels and a six speed gearbox.

axel_2078 · 05-13-2005, 03:40 PM

I would change the carb setup to FI, if it were economically feasable, that is. Realistically, I would change the pegs.

mr_resistible · 05-14-2005, 11:38 AM

I think a cute passanger to rub my shoulders on those longs rides would be nice. And if they made a chrome version of the M50 wheels. I'd probably get them.

I just wish the C90 wheels would fit on the C50.
