Adam490's Short Bus Budget Build

Bought new from Honda Powersports of Covington. Went with the P1k5 after riding a few times with my daughter on my Rubicon and realizing we needed something more secure and comfortable to fit the whole family. She's been dubbed the Short BusView attachment 142813

I can't decide. I put different tires in my cart on RMATV every night and get all the way to check out and change my mind! I'll drink enough beer soon enough to just seal the deal and finalize the order. Wanted to sell the Evo's before I pulled the trigger, but I'm not having much luck locally. I did have a nice gentleman offer me $275 on FB the other night, then when I told him I'd set them on fire in my yard before I'd sell them for that price he called me a "fag". Really leaning towards the Terra Hooks now that I've seen them on @Bad_bowtie ride. They look like they've got a little better contact patch than the TB's.

My EVO Black Waters weren't worn out, but on greasy down hills, they were getting squirley, about 3/4 left in the thread and the edges were getting rounded off, what I like about the Terra Hooks is they have accelerating and braking lugs in the center of the thread, really like mine! Can't remember what I did with the Black Waters, ow yes I do had the dealership get rid of them that I bought my Terra Hooks from. I didn't want to be responsible for someone getting hurt! HA!

30's, but the 30 Blackwater Evolution isn't a true 30 so I'm going with a different tread.

Haven't had any issue with mine, just want to go bigger.

I think it was on eBay for $12 or so? Try searching for custom winch pull. You can put whatever text you want on it. Mine is somewhere between New Orleans and Cullman AL unfortunately. It must have flown off trailering home from Stony Lonesome. I'll have to make sure I get a new one before Takeover!

Most 30's aren't 30's unless you run them at a higher pressure than normal trail riding pressures. Even the DOT rating doesn't kick in until well above trail PSI. I run 8 PSI for normal rocky trail riding with my wife. When the wife isn't with me and I want to let my hair down, I go to 10 PSI. HA!

inflate them to max pressure and leave them for a week they will be 30's at 10psi

Never thought of that, good tip!

I only know it works with the Evos because I tried it and it worked. Max pressure printed on the sideway not max pressure of your compressor.

It’s mo betta!

 

[joeymt33]

Seriously, it’s better for the slow speed stuff but leave it in if you have two passengers in the rear seats often

 

[joeymt33]

When riding alone or very slow speed in extreme terrain, the sway bar delete is good because it allows for more articulation. If I rode 90% with passengers in the rear seats, I’d probably leave the sway bar in.

Got it
I'm trying to make it up to the Takeover so I can meet some of you guys and check out your rides. Still need some more "essentials" on my bike

Watch what you wish for. Has a habit of consuming you occasionally. But worth it!
