Thin blue line is gross. My honest answer is that I'm not brave enough to have my personal property display any politics because I don't want to get randomly targeted by an extremist someday. So no presidential bumper bumper sticker, no BLM sticker on my laptop, etc.

A couple years ago I had a big bumper sticker for the loser of our gov election plus an "i voted" sticker on top on my helmet for a year afterwards. No fs given. That same "loser" is the reason our state turned the right color for the first time in decades recently, so I'm happy with this choice.

But that was before it was popular to run down or shoot blm supporters. It's kinda cowardly but yeesh IDK those fools are dangerous. I could be protected from all this with a blue line or other fascist marking, but I would never.

There is standalone aftermarket ECUs that fit the 701 but they aren't as common as the power commander. The stock ECU hasn't been flashable for years.
SAS/Canister removal requires dongles to fool the engine so it doesn't throw up an check engine light OR the race kit tune it's not available for all bikes/countries.
The PCV blanking kit is just an external filter instead of routing it through the airbox, however still seems dumb to me, at least use a catch can.

And yeah Rottweiler always struck me as overpriced junk, unfortunately no matter what bike you have it's difficult to find out 100% factual information about what performance mods actually work and are reliable.

Ok, so the future is more expensive. I had a $20 dongle plug I used to trick the bike into thinking everything was ok. That probably still works. Really sucks that you can't flash the ECU now, as that was one of the few perks of the bike where it saved you money. Especially because you have to tune the drat thing to get rid of the poor fueling (which is probably better now).

I think it's not really done as much on the 690/701's because they don't need it but I think most folks get either a jd jetting tuner or a vortex/get ECU for the 450/500s. Less on the 350s I think, which is interesting.

Especially now that Trump lost and there are a ton of angry chuds out there who are already looking for someone to gently caress with. We already get cut off, brake checked, and coal rolled just for being in traffic on a motorcycle near them, having a BLM/Antifa/otherwise lefty sticker visible anywhere might be all it takes for a smoothbrained thin blue line boot licking operator to just flick a bumper into you without spilling his monster energy

Also yeah, gently caress displaying any political affiliation. Bad enough that wearing a mask has been politicized.
I had a 'giant meteor' political sticker on the truck around 2016 but peeled it off during a repaint. I have another though I'm not going to put one on.

It was like this going into more conservative areas prior to covid/this election. The difference now is their hatred is turned up to 11 instead of 10.5. Be situationally aware, and as always, don't feed the trolls. If someone attempts engagement, nope. Don't follow politics, sorry.

I was in a rando bar in a rando shithole town in rural NV July of 2019. Patrons were openly talking about executing democrat votors, their politicians, and anybody that didn't share their own views. It was quite a conversation to overhear. I was there looking at some acreage and to invest in the local economy. Nope, gently caress em.

I must be missing something here but why is that air filter so bad? I get that it's not any better than the stock airbox but why would it be blowing crud into the engine? It's a standard oiled foam filter isn't it?

I check in on the flea market over there once a month or so and have managed to score one or two pieces of gear that weren't size MF (midwestern fatass), but it's a rarity. You can still catch gloves and boots in decent shape every now and then.

Not exactly direct adv.txt content, but I browse adv with adblocker off as I do with the blowtakkks forums here, and I keep seeing ads for this surreal poo poo.

http://cotosen.com

I suspect I'm showing my age by expressing my surprise at the content of this thing. What I think I'm seeing here is a site of cheapo clothes made from outside the USA, I assume China, with numerous items on it specifically targeted toward jingoistic right wing Americans. "Tactical" gear with words on it that don't make sense in English like "Shtorm" and 82nd airborne icons and little pictures of ww2 jeeps and confederate flags and spartan helmets. Even American racism has been co-opted by the Far East capitalists. But google's adsense is doing its job showing it to me on advrider I guess.

Also, in an adv thread, one poster referred to another poster as "princess" because the another complained about prior use of the word "dike" in the thread. It had been used only as a joke of course. Checkmate, princess.
