Managed Topic: Excellent Example Bikes (Yes You Can!)
Topic Manager: [on-hold for new manager - want to help? PM ArizonaWarrior!]

This topic is dedicated to linking member 'Albums' or a topic about their Warrior and its successful mods so other members can see how each mod looks. The goal is to represent as many mods as possible, not necessarily as many member bikes as possible. Preference is given to links that include how-to pictorials for the mod(s) being represented. To recommend a member bike for this list, post a QuickReply or PM me. Please include 'why' you recommend the particular Warrior. This isn't a popularity contest, its good examples.


The following list was born inside the Popular Mods post. Members already on this list are welcome to QuickReply what 'class' they believe their Warrior fits into. Some examples might be semi stock; drag bike; bagger; tour; chopper; or any of the the usual list of classes in a bike show.

This looks great Travis!

I know you can do more with this in your own topic than I was able to do with it buried inside the Popular Mods post. Thank you for taking-on this challenge for us because seeing pictures and successful results has often helped me decide if I want to do a mod a particular way. I'm excited!
 
#8 ·
Yes. I'm thinking we'll have the users put their bikes into a catergory, such as the ones mentioned above (i.e. semi stock; drag bike; bagger;
tour; chopper) and then sort the list that way. So there will be two lists.

I'm also thinking about having a tag like system for them. Not a listing of parts or mods, but more like a tag for each part modified. So, let's say a guy put on a new set of bars, painted the bike and changed the exhaust, under his name you'd see (Bars, Paint, Exhaust). Nothing real in depth, but a quick summation of the the parts changed.

I think that's a great idea then. I wonder if this could be set up automatically. If the administrator made a check box system to add to our personal page where we describe our bikes, they might be able to give you the ability to sort bikes by category checked -just the main types you mentioned. You could also do all the mods, but that would create a huge list to sort, and some might not be the best examples etc. But if you just had us check about 5 different categories for types of bikes then you could easily sort that. Just a thought...

Well, I was thinking about this some more -couldn't the actual link to the photo gallery have sublinks -like the one for classifieds? Then when they click that check box for their bikes, then it could automatically sort it into those subcategories you created. Then you could have an intro link which says these are the best examples in this category, and have the ones you've already chosen. In other words, you'd just break your list into those categories, and repost the list(s) for each sub-photo gallery category. Yeah, it's not easy for admin, I'm not sure if they have the ability to data sort. If it was a straight database that I used to make back in the day, then I could do it, but I'm not very strong in website programming.

I don't even know if i'm in the right place to say this but I know what a stock bike looks like. I'd like to see pictures of bikes with mods, pics, with descriptions and tips regarding these mods. Enough handle bars, integrated tail lights and stuff painted black:eek:.
 
#27 ·
I agree,i don't see where a paint job is considered a mod.To me a mod is Hurd moving his rectifier under his bike,Yamaweezle's brake mod,warmar's rear end piece,and so on.Not judging just suggesting what mods are to me,not bolt on pieces.
 
#28 ·
I agree with you guys to a point, but I also think that he is looking to set up "Example Bikes" which in my mind is a little different than "highly modded bikes." For example, I look at what different pieces might look like on a bike -the Speed* RS air intake for example. That's just a bolted on piece, but I can see what one looks like without buying one. Maybe a different shift rod. Or an MC Enterprise backrest. While we don't just want pictures of stuff added to a bike, it doesn't mean we should rule out bikes that aren't highly modded. I just put new bars on my bike, and when I get around to it, I'm going to take some new pictures of mine. I'd like to see it added to the baggers category someday if I can get it up to speed. There aren't many, and I think it helps to get the creative juices flowing if you see what others have done -even if that's a tasteful blend of bolt on and purely modded...
 
#29 ·
Yes, a big '+1'.

Its nice to see what things actually look like and even what else is required. Like if you want to put on handlebars, do you need different length cables. The pictures of completed bikes really is where the rubber meets the road.
 
#32 ·
Nice work with this, Somedude451. While I see the point of the suggestion about mods being more than just bolt on stuff, I also see value in featuring the bolt on mods, too. Anyway, the categories may help the "mod purists" see what they want without looking at the aftermarket part bolted on, but for me, I want to see both.

Subscribed to this one, some where to get more ideas...
 
#34 ·
Me too. I spent a lot of time looking at installed accessory items on other member's bikes to see how they looked as part of the whole, you know what I mean, like, how they looked with other various mods and accessories. That took awhile but I ended up getting just the accessories I wanted, for the most part, so didn't waste much coin over the years that way.

I went through the whole list about a month ago and noticed a lot of the bikes looked like they only had one or 2 mods done.... but basicly stock bikes. I do support the idea of having a thread for pictures with certain mods done so others may see what their bike could look like with that specific mod... but I think specific threads like "exhaust photo thread" would be more helpful and simpler for that. I just think it'd be too much work to break everymod down and post a pic of multiple bikes for that mod. Plus that'd be quite a bit of scrolling too.

What I would like to see in an "example bike" thread would be not neccessarly highly modified bikes, but bikes that have really captured a "theme" or have that beautiful flow. A thread I could click on in search of inspiration for when I mod my bike. What really inspires me is to see how others have captured a "vision/flow" with there bikes. For example, I don't exactly think Kouba's bike is the best looking warrior but I think it's a good example of creativity accomplishing a different look.

Just my 2 cents. I support whatever direction you go with this and will help in any way.
