Other forums have a section dedicated to bike builds only. I think it would be a good addition to the beeb. No BS, just bike builds. It's interesting to me to see what others are working on and document their progress. Yea, we have an Other section and Tech session but a builds only section would be cool.
I actually like that the WERA forums aren't very divided. I hate some of the forums that I visit that have a bunch of sections. I do really want to see bike builds though. Start a post and have at it. I'm sure people will join in.
Converting a street bike to race trim, hybrid build projects, taking a total POS and turning it into a rideable street or track bike, doing a complete tear down and rebuild after a season of racing, etc.
Seems like we're all on the same page and those are all things we're likely to do. Question now, for me anyway, is which project do I start with?
That's a firm NO from me. I don't need to be reminded by people like you that my bubble gum and duct tape method might leave something to be desired.
I'll go first. Doing my first oil change on my 300 swapped Grom and added the recommended 1.5 liters for the engine (2017 CB300F). Should I be adding more because of the orientation (the angle the motor is installed at)? When I bought the bike I could see the oil level in the site glass but even after adding an additional 0.5 liters (that's 2 liters total for anyone keeping score at home), I can't see any oil in the site glass.
To be honest, I wrote a check - there's a whole little industry forming around swapping 250/300 engines into Groms. The link below has the whole swap kit available. https://www.steadygarage.com/store/chimera-engineering-cbr-engine-swap-kit-honda-grom
RIGHT!!!! Every other forum I try to get started on (AR-15/WR250/Thumper/ADV-Rider) I get super pissed off and annoyed quickly because EVERY FUCKING THING is sub-divided all to hell not to mention all the stupid dark colors and themes and advertising and bullshit. And every time, I'm like....why can't these fuckers be like the BBS......fuck it, I'm out.
That is so freakin cool...this is why I love forums where else would I have seen this. Gonna put myself on the list to find out when they come back in stock and start looking for a grom to purchase.... If you don’t mind sharing how much the check you wrote was bc I’m very curious??
