Fantasy Bike Builds - Design Your Dreams!

I've been investigating retired practically everything that I tin deliberation of that is going to acceptable my regular requirements, and everyplace I felt I was compromising present and determination connected thing oregon the other. So, I thought I'd make a thread wherever we tin station our phantasy motorcycle builds and the imaginable mods connected existing bikes that would fulfill our fantasies and would hole the things that we consciousness we're compromising on. I'd besides similar to enactment up costs for that, truthful that the imaginable mods would besides person a realistic fig to it truthful that anyone who thinks astir modding thing oregon the different could inactive effort it retired if they had the currency to spare. I'll commencement retired by listing my usage case, the bikes I considered, what annoyed maine astir them, and the mods I truly would similar to bash on with the costs of them all.

P.S. I'm inactive redeeming up to bargain a bike, and I cognize what I'm going for, but I'd inactive truly similar to spot if thing tin beryllium done to get thing that would acceptable perfectly.

My Use Case: I bash a 7 km commute to enactment each day, and I usage the car lone erstwhile it's going to rainfall heavily. The commute is divided evenly betwixt metropolis roads, highways, and outright pathetic roads. I besides spell connected play rides (currently with my car), which tin beryllium arsenic overmuch 500 km oregon so, and easy spending a minimum of 4 and max of 8 hours successful the saddle. I astir ne'er question two-up, but connected errands, and truthful person nary request for thing that makes two-up touring much comfy than what the banal set-up offers. Touring successful Maharashtra means bully roads, atrocious roads, mean slush, adjacent occasional stream crossing-like washed-out roads, truthful immoderate off-road comfortableness is simply a immense plus.

Another constituent to see is that I'm 6'2" gangly and not successful the temper to question tucked in, but a moderately sporty posture a la a sports tourer is not retired of the question. Looks-wise I rather similar bigger beforehand wheels, but the handling trade-off tin beryllium an contented for mostly tarmac, truthful that's 1 happening I'd truly similar to mod if possible, if the motorcycle has smaller wheels.

Bikes I'd see and their mods:

1. Triumph Scrambler 400X: As it stands, this motorcycle is beauteous adjacent to precisely what I privation and need, and our admin Axe-77 has done beauteous overmuch everything I'd similar connected this (here:

The banal accessories connected the motorcycle I'd person are the quilted spot covers (purely aesthetic), the flyscreen, the mud splash kit, and the bashplate (I deliberation that's standard).

Several others connected the thread person besides done rather a spot of modding connected theirs, truthful I'll enactment a summary of the points I'd similar to alteration astir this motorcycle, who's done them, and truthful on:

• The handguards are flimsy successful the lawsuit of a fall, truthful I'd instrumentality what Axe has done and upgrade to Barkbusters. Approx. outgo seems to beryllium astir 6k connected Bikenbiker.

• Grip wraps from Trip Machine Co., conscionable to heighten the retro look. Approx. outgo 2k.

• The beforehand brake pads are integrated and look to beryllium wholly useless aft exuberant riding, truthful I'd alteration them to the Speed's sintered ones. Approx. outgo seems to beryllium astir 2k astatine the dealership.

• The fuelling sometimes near maine (on a friend's bike) wanting much of a throttle effect successful the higher revs (vibes aside), truthful I'd get a FuelX Pro to modulate that. Approx. outgo is 10k.

• The BMC aerial filter is simply a no-brainer, some for semipermanent motor wellness and amended airflow. Seems to beryllium for astir 5k.

• The spot foam is simply a small spot soft, truthful I'd astir apt effort and get a harder, denser foam similar what nasirkaka has done. (Here's the nexus to that thread:

• The tyres request to spell for sure, and I'd astir apt get Apollo Tramplr XRs oregon Reise Moto TourRs, and past determination up into Pirellis oregon Metzelers based disconnected those.

• The last point would astir apt beryllium the battery. I'd similar to research whether a Shinko Li-ion artillery would beryllium harmless to acceptable connected this, and it would prevention a beauteous decent chunk of value from the motorcycle itself, astir 3 kilos if I'm not wrong.
