@@sabo6588 It’s really no where near as bad as the anti EV propaganda tells people. In fact I’m so happy with these cars I’ll never buy another gas powered commuter/road trip car. Yeah I’m sure I’ll buy a hot rod when I retire but after putting 24,000 miles on these EVs I don’t even want to think about a gas car ever again.
Nothing too sexy about most Teslas. LOL. It’s just the way Elon named the cars to spell SEXY. Kinda funny actually. Sexy to me is a Taycan Cross Turismo or GT3 or Audi R8.
Game changer. Juat installed 1 in a DCC ready steamer and it's life changing. Which locomotive manufacturer will take advantage of this new tech and start delivering power via rechargeable batteries in the locos?
It may only be 60-70lbs lighter on paper but it feels 100+ lbs lighter on and off road and way more power all over. It’s only negative is valve checks are not as easy as the old 411.
@@MikesProjectsandHobbiesMC thanks for your reply. I really appreciate it. Is the seating position between the Himalayan and Versys similar? One thing I like about the Himalayan is that it’s very easy to stand on.
@@alexjohnson3696 I have one inch risers on the Versys and IMS super stock pegs and standing on it is pretty comfortable. The stock seat on the Versys is god awful though. Probably the worst stock seat I’ve ever sat on. I changed it out to a seat concepts which might be a little narrower at the front which helps with standing.
Hello!! After one year, do you think those wheels are good? Also, the wheels where already coming with the bearings, or you had to put them? I'm considereing them, so I would appreciate any feedbak :)
Very spectacular GS4 locomotive models from BLI, both of these models are incredible but I personally like the SP 4438 because of the black/ silver paint scheme which I really find attractive on the SP GS class 4-8-4 engines. If I decide to purchase any of these BLI GS4 models later on then I will purchase a locomotive with the black/ silver paint scheme as that scheme is unique among the SP GS series locomotives.
@@MikesProjectsandHobbiesMC thanks mate. I love my x300, just completed 20,600km trip around Australia 🦘🌏 over 4 months. Punched above its weight in all aspects of trip. Off road river crossings, Hwy stretches and fuel economy, plus just fun and comfortable to ride. I could have done with that bigger screen 😜
I was watching the tach and the speedo and knew you had either a 15-tooth front or went with the 43 rear. The front is what updated and liked it. At 200 miles on my X300 the 14-tooth front had to go ! Your X300 is well accessorized.
Welcome to the X300 club! Check out my dedicated X300 RU-vid channel for many videos on the accessorizing and moding your bike. Click on my ICON to the left.
Happy 4th of July. Glad you got it fixed. You could also take a bolt with thread end in soldering iron and use head of bolt to weld the crack together also but glad your trick worked!
Those Syringe with the rubber plunger will swell up and quit working ..that why I use the SEUTHE syringe it don't have the rubber plunger and works great . I did a video about that ...
Yeah I basically followed the wiring from the rear sensor and right before where it plugs in a spliced into that wire, You have basically turning off the rear sensor which turns off the ABS. If you turn the key off and turn the switch back on it re-enables the ABS. Thanks for watching.
Two very impressive and handsome examples of streamlined steam power, I really both the like the NYC Dreyfuss Hudson and the SP GS4 types and I hope to have one example of each of these locomotive models in my personal collection in the future at some point. I really like the streamlined steam locomotives as they have a unique appearance and I need to earn more personal income in order to be able to afford these locomotive models.
Does the seat incline you toward the tank at all? My dealer has one of his own and he says the seat does that to him. I'm deciding between buying a regular height or tall one. I'm the same height and inseam as you. My suspension is stock.
So I'm interested in building something very similar. Using the 140g or the 140 RF either one. And wanting to go with USD forks. But I want to actually add suspension travel in the process. Giving me full 12 in travel like a normal Motocross fork. Modifying the rear to do the same would be very simple. I'm wondering if that would have been a done deal if you had not added bump stops. Or is the forks just simply too short for 21-in front wheel that you used?
Very impressive and handsome models of the SP GS4 type locomotives, these BLI models of the GS4 are the best models of the type currently available in ho scale and they have a nice variety of paint schemes. When I finally save up enough money 💰💰 for myself I will decide to purchase a GS4 model detailed in the black/ silver paint scheme such as the locomotive in this video. I always liked the SP GS series 4-8-4 engines in the black/ silver paint scheme as that scheme is very attractive to me as a contrast to the more popular "daylight" paint scheme, very enjoyable video- Tom.
Did you buy one? Yes the suspension is setup for my weight. You have to keep in mind this bike is basically made from street bike parts and they are amazing on road.
With 5" of travel and a certain percentage of that used on sag you don't have to hit a very large bump and the suspension bottoms out even at slower speeds or you have it set stiff enough to not bottom out and your ride is harsh. 5" just isn't much to work with.
@@MikesProjectsandHobbiesMC After a ton of research and looking at all the cool bag systems they have nowadays.That's what i'm going to do also. Reading people like your comments and others
Man I'm saddened to see that beautiful layout be ripped up but I understand the why. I have been so slack 😢 on my RU-vid page. I need to get on that and add more videos. You know I'm gonna follow ya. BTW much better mic. 😊
@@MikesProjectsandHobbiesMC So kind of you to say that . Will def get in touch . And yes I had a subscriber who works in the US bring it along with him . Had to wait for almost 3 months .
Yessir. These really are good bang for ya buck. I have, I think,6 BBs. 4 of them are Rivarossi.They are not all new, but they all have the motor in the boiler as opposed to the old version with the motor in the cab. These models run really well on DC, so converting them to DCC with a decent decoder, is even better.The only problem with the 90s runs, is they have a poor electrical pickup ( pickups on only 4 drivers) & are prone to failure, which seriously affects its running ability. I do have a later run ( about 4-5 years old ) model that has the upgraded pickups on all drivers.Why they didnt produce a tender pickup system, like the upgraded FEF3, beats me. I put a TCS WOW in one of the older models, & am still blown away with the smooth slow speed control.I never run my locos at more than about 40mph, so slow speed is a must. I think you ended up using the Tsunami 2 & that does run well at ss 1. Thankyou for a look at your loco demo running so well...Cheers Michael NZ
