Never did call them Dual sports. A dual sport is a dirtbike with lights. Once I am done building them they will be fully single track capable. More so then your run of the mill BMW Mainly do to there size and weight. Rally Raid out of the UK makes a full ADV kit for these bikes with new taller...
Both are a 2013 and 2014 Honda CB500X. Part of their Adventure line. Still street bikes but a bit taller suspension and you can build them to be fully offroad capable. They are dirt cheap. Usually around $6,500 out the door new and 4K used. EFI and for me avg of 54mpg. I commute 72 miles a day...
Hey guys Im still around. Just been busy with life. As much as I love the truck it is going to be hitting the market and we are going to get back into a CJ, maybe a YJ. Its been a fun truck and a great building experience. We have since purchased a class C RV and some Dual sport bikes so we have...

The bearings looked fine but they were damn near locked up. I remember fighting with fluid when I rebuilt the axles. I got fluid in today and remembered. Last time it only took 1.5qts. Its a 2qt system. I got 2 qts in this time. When I picked up the axles from the PO the shafts had mileage on...
Pulled the pass side yesterday and found it was starting to do same thing. Scored a whole other axle for $50 and Oreilly is warranting the bearings, seals and the brake shoes. so I am just out time and a couple extra qts of gear oil I had on the shelf.
not sure what caused it. bad batch of...
Well the shaft that was in there is just before I did the bearings so I suspect it was the bearing or a bad seal that allowed the bearing to grind in on the shaft like that.
Been a while since I posted, Everything has been running fine and the truck has been doing great... until now. Started getting a howl in the rear. Found the rear left axle seal was leaking. Pulled it a part and it was not pretty. I got 6k miles on these new National bearings and seals and this...

Resistors will reduce power, diodes are like a valve. The diodes will allow voltage to go only one way. This was needed for the master light switch. This a was a novelty switch I added in with a switch cover that says "Zombie Response lights" So no matter what on/off condition any of the lights...
