2018 Honda Cb300f. Got new tires. Front one spins freely. Rear one is super tough. To make matters worse, this is with the axle nut only half as torqued as it’s supposed to be.

How do I fix it? This is my first time ever doing this, so sorry for the “noob question,” but any help is appreciated.

Questionable rear seat design

Kelok 44 means 44 turns

I've been riding for almost 30 years and just in the last 5 or 6 I've noticed a huge uptick in (almost exclusively) old boomers on bagger bikes intentionally riding right on the yellow line. I don't remember this being such a thing 10 or 15 years ago, but now almost every old guy on a Harley that I see out is glued to the center line. Where did this trend start and what's the logic behind it?

Edit: I'm well aware of the reasons why it is sometimes ideal to ride close to the center line, and I'm well aware of the inside tire track generally being the ideal cruising location. This post is specifically about guys cruising RIGHT on top of the center line for no apparent reason.

Figured I’d tackle this just to remind myself of what the black widow headers looked like before they got all caked with road grime. Started with a 360 pad and eventually switched to a 800 pad with some elbow grease to smooth everything over.

CB360T has an aftermarket MAC exhaust and the one side is installed with this huge headed bolt. How tf would you reach this? Hammer a socket onto it? Bend the tabs of the passenger peg mount outwards? Not even sure how they got it on there

EDIT: there is no nut on the other side... it threads into a welded tab/nut on the frame.

I have to get her interested early. Even if she’s not even 2 yet.

Just kidding, not my first bike at all.

New H2 SX SE I picked up today!

MT09 torque never gets old

Saved over $200 doing it this way. $300+ saved to do a rear.

Shops won't change tires if you don't buy them from the shop. They charge msrp and $100 to install.

I got frustrated and decided to just do it myself. It only took about an hour of actual work. But it was so frustrating that I took 2 doobie breaks.

Still not 100% there yet on my pivot turn but definitely starting to feel a little better.

This was over a month ago but I completely forgot to post it in here. Was 100% my fault, came out at a blind corner and just didn’t react in time, truck’s only choice was to swerve going 55mph. Apparently, I flew about 50 ft but I don’t remember that! Was also airlifted, so really excited about that bill. Luckily, only had 2 broken bones (left femur & right arm) and some road rash on my neck. Probably would have less limbs if it weren’t for my full gear, but able to walk with a cane now! Be careful out there everyone! Been too many wrecks this season, look out for yourself & others!
