@@bp30656 Many thanks! 🫡

@@Veemack21 thanks 🫡 . That’s the way It goes more times than not on that particular lake. 🤷‍♂️

@@fxwllmsandSOPAisbull what parts are you looking for specifically ?

All of it lol, I am able to make modifications but don’t want to just go out and buy parts just to return them.. Looking for a fairing, and also did you upgrade your mono shock?

All of it lol, I am able to make modifications but don’t want to just go out and buy parts just to return them.. Looking for a fairing, and also did you upgrade your mono shock? Basically trying to build club style so any recommendations on a taller shock, a seat similar to the sadllemen, and a fairing

@@fxwllmsandSOPAisbull the t bars are from a company in Oregon called “ Zombie performance “. They did an excellent job and worked quickly. I did not upgrade the shock in the rear. It’s rolling on stock, but I did eliminate the entire rear inner fender that held all the indicators, and tag and such. I put an integrated brake light / indicator combo, and a bobber style plate holder. That cleaned up the rear real well and actually gives it a “ lifted “ appearance like you’d see a performance bagger look. I have not found a company that makes a set for a VT that’s anything close to a saddle man. There’s a few on eBay that are custom jobs that look great. I’m still on a stock seat but have plans to use a local upholstery shop and have a custom seat skin made. The fairing - the fairing was a cheap kit off of Amazon. I wasn’t sure how well retro fitting a fairing was gunna go so opted to go the cheap route instead of running something like a Memphis shades and running the risk of destroying it. Surprisingly enough, the kit from Amazon worked great! No major modifications needed. Took me a bit to piece everything together properly but I’ve actually been really happy with the outcome. Link for the fairing … a.co/d/d7rICgh

@@FarmingwithFletch I don’t plan to ever run this on a track honestly. Just a fun build for gooning around home. There’s a group of local guys who run a backyard event with no rules. I may do that a few times, but doubtful it’ll ever see a real race event.

@@LL.bean123 dang! Wonder why the trailers were just there?

What landing is that?

@@reiexcavation6707 I haven’t yet. Project had been on hold for a bit. Got busy with some other projects. I hope to be back around to working on it when the weather cools down some.

@@zachkern6908 maybe 🤷‍♂️ not a bad idea 🤔

@@bonezcuztomz7703 thank you! Hopefully soon I’ll have some progress to upload!

@@dirtbagadventures1 please do. Im trying to find a square body mower but all I see is round body

Good call based on what you can hear! I did replace the tip, but I had the welder set up all wrong. Wire speed, and heat were off terribly even after trying to follow the guide on the welder for correct setup. After my friend brought his welder I got to watch him setup everything up, and even got up close while he was welding to watch how he was laying a bead. Thanks for the help! 🤘🤘

I fluctuate between 185 & 200lbs depending on how active I am, and working out etc. With bucket and fishing gear it’s less than 220lbs. Fully loaded with myself on the board it sits just fine in the water. I stage the gear just a tad back from center to keep the nose up for steering purposes. It’s still holding up perfectly fine. I’ve had zero issues with the four I own. However, I’ve turned this brand on to a few friends. In one instance the board had a hole straight out of the packaging. Academy took the board back with an exchange. New board was fine.

@@dirtbagadventures1 Thanks for the info. I currently weigh about 237lbs and saw the board at academy as well on clearance so am considering but was concerned because The weight capacity on the box states 265 and I am looking to carry a cooler with drinks which can sometimes get heavy with ice and would get me close to that weight limit Thanks again for the help.

@@domingoflores1429 you’re welcome!

Thank you! 🤙 Yes, it’s just flux core and I’m not very good at using it yet. 🤣🤣

The yeti actually works really well. A little trial and error. As you’d assume … so far back and the stern wants to sink causing it to be extremely difficult to steer, or even balance for that matter. I ended up ordering some paddle board straps and was able to move the mounting location to a more central of the board area. I’ve used it as a seat to fish from, and storage compartment for fishing supplies several trips now.

You’re not wrong. My original idea since I was using it as a trap line gun was see thrus which actually never happened, and eventually I learned on my second season as a trapper that a scope for the line wasn’t necessary at all so the scope got put on another bolt gun I have and I run open sights on the Rossi now. Before the trade off, even with a high cheek weld I was consistently driving tacks at 50 yards. Good shooting gun!

I think they are generic Mx style pegs. I found them in a search under “ Honda shadow foot pegs .” Originally I had a gold footboards picked out but ultimately went with the peg style.

Haha that is funny. Gotta have the toys.

The windshield came with the front fairing. The fairing I ordered off Amazon made by a company I can’t say. I wasn’t sure how it was all going to mount up so I went on the cheaper end first. It was actually rather straight forward to fit, and has been good quality over several thousand miles so far.

Many thanks friend! 🙏

It is a very thick material. Nice and heavy! Unfortunately I can’t answer your question entirely. I have not done enough extensive testing on the pack to be able to defiantly say it would withstand an entire year worth of abuse in conditions like Mexico. However, I do believe that taken care of and cleaned regularly of abrasive debris it would last you quite a long time.

Thank you 🙏 😃

Did you move ? There’s a lot of trails out there. Over 12 miles. Four good waterfalls as well. I’m definitely gunna hike a pole up into the blue lines come spring. Well spring is basically here, but in a few more weeks anyways.

@@dirtbagadventures1 No, we live off of yellow creek. But it’s on the 53 side. It literally takes me like 5-8 minutes to get there. And hell yea, I’ve caught a bunch of stockies right at and under that bridge. But if you move further up the river I’ve hooked into some bigger fish

@@zachkern6908 Oh yeah yeah! I forgot that you can come in on Steve Tate. I’m used to coming in over Burnt Mountain.

@@dirtbagadventures1 yea right past IGA and all that and past Big Canoe. And right over there almost across from that entrance is that little park camping area. Good little swimming hole there. You almost got to have 4 wheel drive to go down in there. Or probably do. They don’t ever maintain that road

I am not. This video was the last in a series I did of hiking “ The Georgia Loop.”

Many thanks!🙏

I need to catch up on 2 videos Captain and Ross have put out. I hope they get back to a steady state of hiking. I need to get up to Virgin falls, among other Tennessee falls I have on a list!

🙏 Thank you! It’s a blast. Got some stuff coming for it before spring! Maybe some updated videos are in order.

I may be up to do it in the spring. Potentially early spring to try and combat it being to overgrown. I have several other hikes planned though so I don’t know if I can squeeze it in.

Thanks for following along! It can be difficult to capture the most challenging parts for sure! 1984 … back when the AT was still something most people had never even heard of! Congratulations on finishing!

10/10 recommend! Duncan Ridge is a treasure. Coopers creek is beautiful!

@@dirtbagadventures1 awsome video series

@@JayHill615 thank you! 🙏, and thanks for following along!

Thank you!🙏 Good luck with your hike! I’ll be back out in the next few weeks making some more miles. Happy Trails!
