Proud Papa of my new 2013 Super T!!

To coin a phrase from BMW. They all do that!

WILL DO!
im actually going to change the oil today!
keep you posted.

drj

Good stuff, enyoy

2nd oil change complete!
ended up going with MOTUL 10/40 synthetic.

surprisingly dirty oil for only 1800+ miles from last change.:eek1

LEO VINCE pipe showed up today!

getting closer to the end (for now!!)

drj

one more step closer to the end...






i must say - i wasnt impressed immediately after the install, still sounded like the stock pipe - but once i banked a few dozen miles & it had warmed up & seated a bit, i am now very pleased!

she has a much smoother throttle response now & the tone has improved very nicely. still quiet @ idle - but really "stands up" when youre on the gas - cant wait to swap out the air filter & reflash the ecu - still lots to look forward to!!

(also - have yet to install the ACD skidplate!)

drj

The LV looks sharp.

Looks very good, sometimes I wonder if I should have paid extra and gone with the white version, but blue looks great too.
Please inform how you go with the ACD plate and your crash bars since that is a set up I`m looking at, you will not regret the pate, it is awesome!
Also wonder if it would be any good with tank panniers attached to the crash bars since they seem to be angled a bit, I`m looking at the Wolfman large rollie 12.5 liter ones.

If its not loud enough you can unscrew the baffle and its pretty throaty but not to obnoxious :)

thanks - also very good to know.

just got back from a 350 mile - 2 day shakedown ride.
weather was hot - bike was great.
leo pipe was nice - actually got a little louder since the install.
avg about 40 mpg - kept it around 80+mph on the hwy.

however, on the return leg - i noticed a lot of vibration coming up thru the motor & bars.
i was DEF READY to get off the bike by the time i got home!!:eek1

vibe was not an issue on the way up.
although, the cases were loaded with several wine bottles on the way back
(not sure if that was the cultprit)

lonely back roads of central coast cali wine country
(thats my buddy hoser & his 2011 Concourse - electric windscreen, heated grips/seat, gps, sat radio...it even has a jacuzzi in the top box!)





we also hit this little moto museum in solvang (Virgil Ellings) - that had an AMAZING collection of bikes in the most unassuming place!







(more pics to come)

Oooops I am late in this thread!!
Welcome to this selected club

I'm please you like the ACD, I was helping Cedric to develop it and I'm very proud of it. If you like to do off road with the beast you will see how strong it is, as you can see in the crash test I did :eek1

.... to have something like this:

JAUMEV - did you open up the front on your skidplate for the headers or is that the protoype?

you are hilarious!

drj

Aw we all knew it was really you. No self respecting Alien would post a picture of themselves
after pissing their pants.

JAUMEV

ok - love the vid!
so - stock exhaust (not dual yet)
im assuming its the stock suspension too? cuz i hear it bottom out a lot.
(i know you modded the rear suspension @ some point)

and the switch - thats turning the ABS off? (fucking cool)

and lastly - THE TURNAROUND @ the bottom of that rock ledge & then you head back up - FREEKIN' CHAMPION move. awesome riding!:eek1

drj

this is not moto riding - but i do chase for a class 1 team in Baja...you fellas may enjoy this!

it was a piss break - but its most likely BALL SWEAT...cuz it was like 100+ degrees out there!

drj

Well that goes straight into the "Too much information file".

oh come on...ive read your past posts - i HARDLY doubt that it would qualify for that overwhelmed file!

drj

I had to modify it due the 21" front wheel.

Yes, stock exhaust, that video was before my collaboration with None

The rear suspension was already the BM by Mambatec I have now but the settings where softer and lower to be as similar as possible to the original Super T.
This was the first ACD prototype (I tested 4 versions) and was wider and too low in the rear, the production plate has improved ground clearance to avoid hit the ground in the corners and off road.

My suspension is harder and longer than stock. The bike has nearly 3,5 centimetres more ground clearance than stock. The 21" front wheel also helps to this.

Yes the switch is to turn the ABS off.

Nice videos!!

the ABS switch is a "must have" farkle!!:eek1

also - ive noticed the metal mesh for the fan, intake & radiator - is that homemade?
