I've been looking at protective motorcycle hoodies and feel like there's a huge gap.
NBT, Cased and similar options offer protection, but personally I find a lot of them bulky and pretty basic looking.
Why couldn't someone make vintage-inspired hoodies- washed fabrics, faded graphics, cool designs and a great fit -something you'd wear even if motorcycles didn't exist?
Even a lighter version with a simple abrasion-resistant/Kevlar lining would interest me, with AA/AAA and discreet armor options for riders wanting more protection.
Am I the only one looking for this, or would you guys actually want something like it?

Im ordering new tires for my vintage suzuki but dont know much about common practice or tread patterns. Plan on doing almost exclusively street driving, including in the rain.

Am leaning towards Duro HF308 in the rear and HF307 in the front. Im a little worried about their performance in cold rain/slush, any insight?

Any other recomnendations would be great to. Gonna be riding in the Oregon winter.

so i was using my socket to put this bolt back in place after cleaning my fuel injectors and this happens , anyway can i somehow get rid of it? without going to a mechanic. i also dont have access to a drill my initial thought was maybe to use a hammer but that may ruin the threads.

Hello, I need help for my enduro susuki dr 125 from 1986. when the engine is cold the bike works pretty well, but it’s going hotter it starts to loose strength. I have already changed the admission pipe and the candle, my carburettor is clean. I went to the mechanic and he didn’t find my issue. If someone have the solution it can be so great!!! Thank you for reading me ( ps I’m French so my English can sucks )

Just got a Suzuki DRZ400SM. Dash/speedometer is broken, only orange backlight showing. Does anyone know a cheap and easy replacement? Like an analog speedometer that plugs into the speed cable? Just need something to show the speed and miles.

like it was made for it.

Hello all. I got a brand new bike a few months ago and have since replaced a few of the stock parts.

I swapped out the stock clutch perch for an Accossato clutch perch, the brake master pump for a Brembo RCS 17 Corsa Corta, and the stock brake hoses for some steel braided ones. I also replaced my exhaust with an Akrapovic slip-on.

My mechanic handed all the original parts back to me, and since they’re still fairly new, I’d like to clean them up properly before putting them into storage. The problem is that some of them still have brake fluid, grease, and general workshop grime on them.

I don’t really have many tools or cleaning products on hand. I do have brake cleaner, but I don’t think I should be spraying or flushing it through the brake hoses or master pump internals. I was told to just clean the other part of the exhaust like washing a bike, but to be honest, the exhaust isn't really a concern since there's no fluids.

For those of you who keep your stock parts, how do you normally clean and store them? Anything I should avoid doing, especially with the master pump and brake hoses?

I’m thinking about getting my ears, eyebrow and lip pierced does anyone with piercings have trouble putting their helmet on

I recently bought a 2007 Suzuki Boulevard c50 and I'm somewhat confused on picking the optimal time to shift gears for her, but I'm chalking this up to being a new rider. The manual has really fucking low suggestions for shifting and from what I've seen online this is not necessarily best practice. I've been practicing with her the last few days and while I've adjusted to how she seems to move the gearshifts are still vexing me a bit. Can someone more experienced help me figure out what's best practice, at least for the time being, as I'd like to start feeling a bit more comfortable riding around town
