Yes, he did not have mirrors. Now what you left out of the accident. Fast Lane D was hit from behind on a multi lane Interstate. The drunk driver in a pickup truck was driving at high speed and was waving in and out of the lanes of traffic prior to hitting him. The pickup truck fled the scene. He was caught 4 miles away. The accident was all caught on video by a person riding behind FastLaneD. Video shows how fast it happened. He was getting hit with or without mirrors.
If you know how to use mirrors properly they could have helped prevent that accident. If you check your mirrors often and you see a car/truck running up on you rip the throttle and get out of harms way. He may or may have not been able to prevent that accident but riding without mirrors certainly lowers your chances of preventing a hit from behind. There are no excuses for riding without mirrors. The looks of a motorcycle without mirrors are not more important than your life. That goes without saying.
I think a lot of ppl remove their mirrors because they think they look cool looking back behind them and that kinda gives them a reason to constantly be looking back in traffic and at stoplights. Pretty corny if you ask me. I would rather cut my eyes and see whats going on behind without having to move my head or my body. Ppl say you should always look back and do a head check which is incorrect in public traffic. You look back whenever you really have to but you should be taking mental notes on traffic, lanes, speed, and positioning of all of the vehicles you pass and piecing that together in your mirrors.
One of the mods I did and can definitely recommend is changing the Halogen bulbs to LEDs. There are LED drop in replacements, from either Osram or Phillips, that are certified and road legal here in the EU. The difference if you have to ride at night is serious "day n night".
Mannnnnnnn. No joke, I again say it. Cruza you got me to drop my balls years ago and get on a street motorcycle. The other day I was putting on some new chinese fairings and my mirrors got broken. I got on and rode down the street just to make sure all the bolts and fairings were all good to go. I didnt have mirrors on, and its a closed street. I STILL felt like death was imminent. Not being able to see those spots are beyond dangerous and disorienting. Your Tips over the years have always been spot on. So i say, THANK YOU, and Please keep making these videos and saving other riders!
I have an airbag vest and an airbag jacket, glad to see vloggers repping this fantastic tech. If you wore just a helmet and an airbag you'll quite literally walk away from the majority of common accidents. Thanks!
I use carbon fiber wheels on my bike for 3 years already. Not a single issue related to roads quality. And I live in Ukraine with far worse roads, believe me. People who put carbon wheels usually don't ride on a shitty roads. They either show off on a bike meets or hit fast country roads with good pavements (you would not go fast on a road where you are not sure of pavement quality). They are just regular wheels, but look better, handle better and accelerate better.
Hey good to hear but I've seen some horrible carbon fiber wheel fails over the years. I would never ride with them on the streets, only track. I wish you continued good luck. 👍
A lot depends on the quality of Carbon Fibre. Bicycles struggled with this for decades now. CF bicycle forks, especially the steer tube, when those broke it was usually very bad !
Like I always say, it's not the motorcycle that is dangerous it is the rider!!! If every rider wore all of the gear, rode defensively and not do crazy speeds y on the street you would see motorcycle fatalities drastically reduced. I just saw a horrific motorcycle accident in my car because of a rider speeding on the highway, A car changed lanes and the rider smacked into the back of the car, busted out the window and launched the bike and rider ahead of the car. R.I.P. The worst accident I personally witnessed.
Weight saving on bike's is such a bs marketing scheme dumb people fall for. Losing 10 to 15 lbs yourself is way more healthy beneficial for you and wont cost money.
Brotha Cruza. I just saw a guy on a youtube video, in California I think, that was riding his Ducati Panigale around some great curves. All of a sudden, while doing over 100 mph, his chain snapped straight off. He even had the chain guard on the bike and when the chain snapped part of the chain snapped so hard that it got embedded in his boot; near the ankle area that would have literally severed his ankle in half, had he not been wearing 'calf high' boots !!! My wife and I are literally getting rid of our motorcycles(we have several buyers already) and we both decided that we're buying the new 2025 Triumph Rocket 3R Storm Edition since we are interested in 'shaft driven' motorcycle and the Rocket 3R Storm is power, fast as hell(0-60 in 2.7 seconds), and very stable without worries of 'chain maintenance' along with the fact that it has 10,000 mile service intervals. She's a rider and I'm a rider( I taught her over 15 years ago). We'll upgrade the bike with carbon fiber parts, a customized Corbin heated seats and get the bikes ceramic coated with 4 layers which will last a lifetime of the bikes. What is special is that these bikes are known for 100,000 miles and more on the motor without motor failure. The electronics on the 2025 have also been upgraded, tweaked and improved by Triumph so the previous 'electrical gremlins' are pretty much solved....
Dang! You just made the case for wearing calf high boots! The biker was extremely lucky, The chain-guards are often plastic, you can sometimes upgrade to a metal chain guards depending on the bike. I've always thought shaft drives were the best option when it comes to lower maintenance and better safety. I have been trying to get a test ride on a Rocket 3, I want to experience all of that torque. Cool to see you and your wife are getting the Rocket 3 R Storm and putting on some cool mods. Best of luck to both of you! Stay safe!
@@CycleCruza Brotha Cruza...let's just say that the Rocket 3R Storm was created to navigate and be as nimble as the Street Triple but with the torque of 3 of those street triples combined !!! Each of those cylinders are 800cc's each !!! That's insane. My wife and I test rode one and we thought we went to 'motorcycle heaven'. It will shoot you from a red light to 80mph like a bullet train; without any wheelies !! And, that's why me and my wife are getting that specific bike; in addition to the fact that we can go long distance without worrying about chain cleaning and lubrication. Once a year the shaft oil needs draining along with the normal oil change and we'll be using Synthetic Castrol oil for that. The other reason why we are chosing the Rocket 3R Storm is because we test rode the 1390 KTM Superduke R Evo and it simply wheelies too much and we are not interested in a motorcycle that wheelies at the turn of a rist. We wanted a bullet but without the wheelies involved. The rocket 3R storm solved that for us. Lastly, the foot pegs can be raised .59 inches which prevents foot peg scraping when we canyon carve :)
I actually put bar-end mirrors on purely because they give me a better rear view. As they're sitting under my hands giving me a wider unobstructed view
Carbon wheels (on bikes) are banned in most racing series, they don't have much "Elastic Deformation", and they don't really have "Plastic Deformation" either.
Eh does it matter? The point is there were no mirrors on his bike that could have helped prevent that accident. I'm just bringing to light a dangerous mod that many riders do.
@CycleCruza accuracy does matter when you are posting about someone else's experience. You are showing that particular motorcyle and claiming it didn't have mirrors, at least post the bike he was riding and show us that the vehicle in question didn't have mirrors.
@@bigpopa1971it’s accurate if he didn’t have mirrors… because it’s an example not a documentary. The motorcycle itself isn’t the focus… he isn’t taking about some insane custom mod that no one else has ever done.
@beaniegenie8735 you're making up your own personal guidelines to reporting information about someone else. He could have just talked about Fastlane D, everyone knows who he is. He chose to post pictures and clips on his video so could've took the time to research and post some pictures of the bike he was on. It's not like it's a secret, he has plenty of videos with that new bike he was riding. Then here you go actually trying to lay down some guidelines. "If it's a documentary" do you work for fox? How about just post real information
Without a chain guard, it could actually end with your leg going bye bye. I saw a riders chain wrap around his leg and SQUEEZE!. It started to rip through his leg, taking off some layers. He got VERY lucky, and i think he was only going 30mph. I can only imagine if he was going maybe even 70mph, he would have a real F'd up life.
@@CycleCruza Yeah no understatement on that Ouch! I never understood why people take it off. Even MotoGP has a form of protection as being the rear fender, so if the chain flys it will hit and come down protecting the rider.
The only problem with the airbag vest that have the cord on them. If you low side, you hit the ground before the court even comes off the bike so you have to get one like Alpine stars with the GPS.
The best mods are the ones you don't have. The aftermarket pimps want you to change everything. Except for utility mods like racks, guards, and that kind of thing, mods are money down a rat hole. When I look at used bikes, mods, especially for "performance," are a red flag because you don't know what molestations some backyard Jethro inflicted on the bike.
I think people remove their mirrors just for a slimmer profile and a cleaner look. Personally, I wouldn't do it. I like to see behind me. Especially when stopped in traffic/at a light. I always play with my brake light when there's a vehicle approaching me from behind from a distance.
thats why I ride a Vespa at 20-30 mph and race Ducs!!. No street motorcycle riding. I've had 3 bad crashes on the street that could have killed me. Cars are a menace.... I quit street riding.
Integrated taillight/turnsignals look cool, BUT, in Pa., the Bike Shop was hesitant to pass it for inspection... Why? He claimed the turnsignals must be so many inches apart (I forget the number). The driver has to see a space between them that is following. He did pass the Integraded Taillight, but barely.
He was correct. There is a minimum spacing and height for both front and rear. Most all-in-one lights don't pass and if you are rear ended, your insurance may use them as an excuse to not pay.
I have put quick release gas cap on 3 ,they are the quality more expensive ones,it paid off i had a bad battery on my bmw had to roll start it and needed gas so i could leave the bike running and got home ok,but they are not necessary,good video cc
Not sure the chain guard would do much on my bike it is minimal at best. Another one they like to do is take the front sprocket cover off, I suppose so they can see the fancy sprocket with holes in it they bought.
Some states require a minimum distance separating turn signals from the left and right sides so those tail lights with built in ones are not legal. Always check your state laws for any mod. Ape Hangars cannot go above your shoulders in CA. and tassels cannot be hanging off at the bar ends not that I've ever had a reason to have them.
It's not about weight it's about looks and a lot of fools would rather be completely blind to traffic/hazards behind them to look cooler 🙄. Ive seen multiple "influencers" removing mirrors and turn signals, you can't fix stupid. I understand getting rid of stock mickey mouse mirrors, but replace them with some bar ends, or unders, or any of the numerous other options that give you the basic ability to see your surroundings. Be safe.
I guarantee you he took the mirrors off because it looks cooler. Which is mindless. Unless he had it at the track. Either way hope he’s ok and heals up. Off topic, you ever try to wheelie the MT? I’m thinking about getting one.
That's why I ride by myself! On my 2024 BMW s1000rr.... The other mod is going to a Bike meet-up and the Police shows up and Mistakes your motorcycle 🏍 who ran from them.
Yes they can. I use a helite vest and you can buy the cartridges. But you have to pull pretty hard to discharge the capsule by accident. I think the force you'd need is around 30kg.
Only an idiot will remove the mirrors. I feel bad for FL D, but bad move. Not sure it would have prevented it, cause u got to be looking too, but just saying not something u should do.
The front end absolutely dips into lean noticeably easier without mirrors on the fairings… Worth it on the street? No. But it’s undeniably noticeable without mirrors.. aerodynamics are more at play than the weight
Gunna piss some people off with this carbon wheels being bad on street nonsense.. I can see why you would think this but here’s the problem.. there’s multiple bikes now that come from factory bone stock with carbon wheels.. do you know better than the manufacturer? And carbon wheels can fail you are right but what you don’t realize is it takes a much bigger impact for them to fail compared to normal wheels.. a carbon wheel can eat a impact that would’ve bent a metal wheel.. only difference is carbon wheels don’t bend they shatter when they fail.. but it takes way more to make that happen
Those stock bikes with carbon fiber wheels are likely track bikes. I showed pics of carbon fiber wheel fails in this video. Do a google search and you'll see more carbon fiber wheel fails, nearly all of them from street use. I would not take the chance and it really makes zero sense to put CF wheels on a street only bike.
Nah something like that happens so fast even if he did have mirrors by the time he looked at his mirrors and saw the car best to believe that car woulda already hit him plus you can't really see too much out those mirrors anyway 🤷♂️ I prefer no mirrors looks way better and plus it only takes a second to turn your head to look behind you and you'll be able to see more of your surroundings by turning your head to look back even merging onto the highway I don't use mirrors to merge on because can't really see much out of them I rather turn my head and look back and see everything
I can't afford any mods for my motorsickle. Shoot! I barely had the chance to replace my rear master break cylinder a month ago. Luckily I found some change in my couch. Meow one mod i did....... well, its not a sorta a mod. I purchased a square top box for my bike. It was pricey, but well worth it. I dont like carry anything in my pockets, scared my items like my wallet or phone would fall out. Meow with a top box i can carry without no worries. Plus getting take out is no worries. Easy peasy lemon squeezey. Other mods i dont care and cant afford. When i get my mt10, or cb1000r. I will taking oof my square top box and retrofit it to my new motorsickle .
I feel the same way I need my mirrors I get they’re ugly and look much better without them but no way I was almost rear ended in my car and because i seen him in my rear view mirror and heard the tires screeching behind me i was able to floor it and get out the way
The first time I rode on a racetrack with no mirrors it was the oddest feeling and I instinctively kept looking over my shoulder before entering a corner to make sure I wasn't cutting someone off. My buddy who already had track time told me it is up the the guy passing to put a wheel in front of you to pass before the turn so don't worry about cutting people off.
Carbon wheels are not allowed in MotoGP, so what is their application? Also, integrated back turn signals are garbage. As if it's not enough that back side of motorcycle is narrow, you want to narrow that light field more down so it's all same yellow red. It's a real safety hazard for rider because cars in a back can't quickly tell what direction is that tiny crammed light is showing. As for all that gas cap change, different color bolts etc...now where did we see that? Oh yes, the cake decorators OCC choppers. Why would one want to cake decorate their motorcycle...
Carbon Fiber wheels reputation for being brittle or weak is LAST CENTURY DATA. They are in fact stronger than cast alloy wheels. There's no downside to CF wheels, other than cost. Get up to data Cycle Cruza. Brock's Performance has videos on how strong they are. GET OVER IT. By the time you bend an alloy wheel, CF wheels flex and spring right back. If you're going to hit something bad enough to break a CF wheel, an alloy wheel would be destroyed anyway.
Naw dog. Been riding for years without mirrors. They have no visibility unless you’re a 2x4. You as a rider should be looking everywhere at all times. Regular legit gear is just as fine compared to your air bag vest.
Fast lane d got hit of is bike from behind it wasn’t because of not having mirrors, mirrors don’t stop stupid drivers my motorcycle still have it factory mirrors on it and I can’t count the amount of time I almost got rear ended you just have to be safe out there wear the right gears and don’t ride above your skill level
I agree with you, People get rear-ended all the time driving cars. Sometimes, it's hard to avoid stupid people who are not paying attention when they're driving. Regardless if FLD had mirrors or not that accident could've been inevitable
I like other bike youtubers... but even my man fastlaneD rides like a squid 99% of the time. He is constantly dodging gear and he squids the fuck out of his bikes. But there are so many that ride their bike like they are in some motoGP shit.... lmfao I have 0 interest in any of the "mods' you talked about lol - it's like cars and camber slamming them.... just something I never ever thought of doing and everyone I know trolls the shit out of kids that do... this shit would fall in that world lol. Fuck is the reason not to have a signal???!!? lmao.
Fast Lane D and his FLG took their bikes to COTA and filmed their riding. They would kick my butt on the straights but, I think I could have beat their lap times on my '87 FZ600 that only did about 135. They never did any hard braking into a corner and when I was racing it had to be hard on the brakes and hard on the gas because my bike had about 15-30 HP less than my competition. Once I took it to the track I had no need to ride like a fool on the public roads.
good list ALL of which I agree / even plasti- coating / I would like to emphasize something you said though, DO YOUR RSEARCH when ordering parts and some times you get what you pay for. Research BOTH parts AND seller ATGATT
Wait, he got hit from behind because he removed the mirrors? You gotta be fkn kidding me bro, your bike is your bike, if you want to change something on your bike I don't think we need to consult CycleCruza to get the green light. Should everybody wear protective gear? YES But telling people your going to get hit because you don't have mirrors and have carbon fiber wheels is fkn outrageous. Other than that, another great video, but you definitely don't need to clout chase when you already got clout bro, kinda makes you look salty. Anybody can go down any given sunday with and or without gear.
They are great too but I personally trust a mechanical tether more and you don't have to deal with keeping the battery charged or worry about the battery failing.
Man just trying to get clicks.. You really think the mods are the reason he got hit from behind. He hasn't even posted the crash vid and this man is out here assuming he know all. DUMB MOVE. You aren't making friends by doing cash grab vids.
That's a good list, I must say,... / even the plasti-coating / However there is some thing you had said that I would like to emphasize. DO YOUR RESEARCH when ordering parts online,.... some times you get what you pay for! whether it's the correct part or even a functioning part, etc. research BOTH the part AND the seller ATGATT
no carbon wheels on a motorcycle? Wrong! Newer more expensive bikes like M1000R competition comes with carbon wheels. It`s an upgrade, bike is more nimble and easy to handle, and stronger.
@@Bailey-k2j «LOL» you’re 12? 1: Carbon is lighter which improves handling, braking and accelertion. 2: carbon is engineered to be stiffer which improves more precise handling and better feed back to the rider. 3: carbon wheels make less vibration, equals more comfort. Squid is a yankee thing, we don’t have that in Norway.
@@captainkim7297 Nah. Thats like saying rain is wetter than water. Carbon was great back in the day. But new tech and materials are just as superior. Carbon wheels are shit, as they break easily.
This is why you don't get a sport bike, doing fast speeds with your lips sticking out saying cringy sh** in Ohio. Then grifting to supermotos and, Chinese ebikes.😂

Yes, he did not have mirrors. Now what you left out of the accident. Fast Lane D was hit from behind on a multi lane Interstate. The drunk driver in a pickup truck was driving at high speed and was waving in and out of the lanes of traffic prior to hitting him. The pickup truck fled the scene. He was caught 4 miles away. The accident was all caught on video by a person riding behind FastLaneD. Video shows how fast it happened. He was getting hit with or without mirrors.
If you know how to use mirrors properly they could have helped prevent that accident. If you check your mirrors often and you see a car/truck running up on you rip the throttle and get out of harms way. He may or may have not been able to prevent that accident but riding without mirrors certainly lowers your chances of preventing a hit from behind. There are no excuses for riding without mirrors. The looks of a motorcycle without mirrors are not more important than your life. That goes without saying.
Let's be honest, saving weight was not the reason he removed the mirrors, it was purely for looks.
True, but the bike looks just as good with the mirrors or some aftermarket ones.
I think a lot of ppl remove their mirrors because they think they look cool looking back behind them and that kinda gives them a reason to constantly be looking back in traffic and at stoplights. Pretty corny if you ask me. I would rather cut my eyes and see whats going on behind without having to move my head or my body. Ppl say you should always look back and do a head check which is incorrect in public traffic. You look back whenever you really have to but you should be taking mental notes on traffic, lanes, speed, and positioning of all of the vehicles you pass and piecing that together in your mirrors.
@@SHREDDER_92 lmao you’re probably right
@@CycleCruza. matter of opinion
@@AJYZF1R2010yes he was wanting the expensive RIZOMA Italian 400$ mirrors and didn’t like the look 👀
He deserves this, how you look now FastRash D
Dude I’m 26, I’ve been watching since high school I’m on a mt-10 now no F up days because of you.
Stay safe good sir
Dang time flies! Awesome to see you are a long time viewer and a MT-10 owner. I appreciate it. I wish you the best of luck, stay safe! 👍
I been watching you since I was in middle school, I’m now 24 years old and still watching your videos❗️ Stay safe OG
Wow, awesome to see a long time viewer. It is comments like yours that keeps me doing videos. I appreciate it. Stay blessed! 👍
One of the mods I did and can definitely recommend is changing the Halogen bulbs to LEDs.
There are LED drop in replacements, from either Osram or Phillips, that are certified and road legal here in the EU.
The difference if you have to ride at night is serious "day n night".
Yeah they are way better. I put an LED headlight on my KTM supermoto, way better than the stock halogen headlight.
I'll stick with the non blinding lights.
The mirrors and turn signals are the two most common I see. Two most important things to have as well.
how about stop street riding!
👍💯
Mannnnnnnn. No joke, I again say it. Cruza you got me to drop my balls years ago and get on a street motorcycle. The other day I was putting on some new chinese fairings and my mirrors got broken. I got on and rode down the street just to make sure all the bolts and fairings were all good to go. I didnt have mirrors on, and its a closed street. I STILL felt like death was imminent. Not being able to see those spots are beyond dangerous and disorienting. Your Tips over the years have always been spot on. So i say, THANK YOU, and Please keep making these videos and saving other riders!
Thanks for sharing your comment being a long time viewer. I appreciate it! I wish you continued safe riding.
@@CycleCruza Thanks brother, you as well!
I love how you wear real safety gear. High viz, to boot!
Good on you! People tend to put style over safety too often.
Thanks! That is the problem, too many people worry about looking cool rather than staying safe. Dead or jacked up does not look cool.
What do you think about the guys that extend their swing arms on their sport bikes seems like that would really mess up the handling ?
That is another stupid mod for a street bike, espcially those really long extended swing arms. Thanks for mentioning that!
Taking mirrors off definitely doesn't save significant weight. You'd save more weight by taking a big shit before riding.
🤣 Facts!
I have an airbag vest and an airbag jacket, glad to see vloggers repping this fantastic tech. If you wore just a helmet and an airbag you'll quite literally walk away from the majority of common accidents. Thanks!
👍💯 You are wise!
No mirrors = cosplaying a track rider lmao
Don't for the silly MotoGP shift too. 😂😂
I use carbon fiber wheels on my bike for 3 years already. Not a single issue related to roads quality. And I live in Ukraine with far worse roads, believe me.
People who put carbon wheels usually don't ride on a shitty roads. They either show off on a bike meets or hit fast country roads with good pavements (you would not go fast on a road where you are not sure of pavement quality).
They are just regular wheels, but look better, handle better and accelerate better.
Hey good to hear but I've seen some horrible carbon fiber wheel fails over the years. I would never ride with them on the streets, only track. I wish you continued good luck. 👍
A lot depends on the quality of Carbon Fibre. Bicycles struggled with this for decades now. CF bicycle forks, especially the steer tube, when those broke it was usually very bad !
@@jimstenlund6017 for motorcycle wheels - BST and that's it.
all these people crashing and doing dangerous things to their bikes is why people think they're dangerous and won't try riding
Like I always say, it's not the motorcycle that is dangerous it is the rider!!! If every rider wore all of the gear, rode defensively and not do crazy speeds y on the street you would see motorcycle fatalities drastically reduced. I just saw a horrific motorcycle accident in my car because of a rider speeding on the highway, A car changed lanes and the rider smacked into the back of the car, busted out the window and launched the bike and rider ahead of the car. R.I.P. The worst accident I personally witnessed.
Weight saving on bike's is such a bs marketing scheme dumb people fall for. Losing 10 to 15 lbs yourself is way more healthy beneficial for you and wont cost money.
Removing bs stuff like the big ugly stock fender is ok but some bikers take it too far which is unnecessary for a street bike.
@00:48 LOL, that's my actual motorcycle, and it does have bar end mirrors! Thanks for showing her off though ;)
I speak for all the people.
Effed up day, your slogan.

Love the video! I am down in Wayne county Ohio and roads are crazy here also 😂 I subbed bro love to support locals !!
Hey thanks for the sub and comment! I appreciate it. Great to see another Ohio rider. Stay safe!!
Brotha Cruza. I just saw a guy on a youtube video, in California I think, that was riding his Ducati Panigale around some great curves. All of a sudden, while doing over 100 mph, his chain snapped straight off. He even had the chain guard on the bike and when the chain snapped part of the chain snapped so hard that it got embedded in his boot; near the ankle area that would have literally severed his ankle in half, had he not been wearing 'calf high' boots !!! My wife and I are literally getting rid of our motorcycles(we have several buyers already) and we both decided that we're buying the new 2025 Triumph Rocket 3R Storm Edition since we are interested in 'shaft driven' motorcycle and the Rocket 3R Storm is power, fast as hell(0-60 in 2.7 seconds), and very stable without worries of 'chain maintenance' along with the fact that it has 10,000 mile service intervals. She's a rider and I'm a rider( I taught her over 15 years ago). We'll upgrade the bike with carbon fiber parts, a customized Corbin heated seats and get the bikes ceramic coated with 4 layers which will last a lifetime of the bikes. What is special is that these bikes are known for 100,000 miles and more on the motor without motor failure. The electronics on the 2025 have also been upgraded, tweaked and improved by Triumph so the previous 'electrical gremlins' are pretty much solved....
Dang! You just made the case for wearing calf high boots! The biker was extremely lucky, The chain-guards are often plastic, you can sometimes upgrade to a metal chain guards depending on the bike. I've always thought shaft drives were the best option when it comes to lower maintenance and better safety. I have been trying to get a test ride on a Rocket 3, I want to experience all of that torque. Cool to see you and your wife are getting the Rocket 3 R Storm and putting on some cool mods. Best of luck to both of you! Stay safe!
@@CycleCruza Brotha Cruza...let's just say that the Rocket 3R Storm was created to navigate and be as nimble as the Street Triple but with the torque of 3 of those street triples combined !!! Each of those cylinders are 800cc's each !!! That's insane. My wife and I test rode one and we thought we went to 'motorcycle heaven'. It will shoot you from a red light to 80mph like a bullet train; without any wheelies !! And, that's why me and my wife are getting that specific bike; in addition to the fact that we can go long distance without worrying about chain cleaning and lubrication. Once a year the shaft oil needs draining along with the normal oil change and we'll be using Synthetic Castrol oil for that. The other reason why we are chosing the Rocket 3R Storm is because we test rode the 1390 KTM Superduke R Evo and it simply wheelies too much and we are not interested in a motorcycle that wheelies at the turn of a rist. We wanted a bullet but without the wheelies involved. The rocket 3R storm solved that for us. Lastly, the foot pegs can be raised .59 inches which prevents foot peg scraping when we canyon carve :)
I actually put bar-end mirrors on purely because they give me a better rear view. As they're sitting under my hands giving me a wider unobstructed view
With a moniker like Fastlane D it's only a matter of time til he cracks up.
I seen people remove turn signals, mirrors, reflectors, reflective on wheels, fenders, chain guards, slam bikes as low as they could get them.
Carbon wheels (on bikes) are banned in most racing series, they don't have much "Elastic Deformation", and they don't really have "Plastic Deformation" either.
The bike you're showing wasn't the bike he was riding. He wasn't on a Ducati when he wrecked
Eh does it matter? The point is there were no mirrors on his bike that could have helped prevent that accident. I'm just bringing to light a dangerous mod that many riders do.
@CycleCruza accuracy does matter when you are posting about someone else's experience. You are showing that particular motorcyle and claiming it didn't have mirrors, at least post the bike he was riding and show us that the vehicle in question didn't have mirrors.
@@bigpopa1971it’s accurate if he didn’t have mirrors… because it’s an example not a documentary. The motorcycle itself isn’t the focus… he isn’t taking about some insane custom mod that no one else has ever done.
@beaniegenie8735 you're making up your own personal guidelines to reporting information about someone else. He could have just talked about Fastlane D, everyone knows who he is. He chose to post pictures and clips on his video so could've took the time to research and post some pictures of the bike he was on. It's not like it's a secret, he has plenty of videos with that new bike he was riding. Then here you go actually trying to lay down some guidelines. "If it's a documentary" do you work for fox? How about just post real information
Without a chain guard, it could actually end with your leg going bye bye. I saw a riders chain wrap around his leg and SQUEEZE!. It started to rip through his leg, taking off some layers. He got VERY lucky, and i think he was only going 30mph. I can only imagine if he was going maybe even 70mph, he would have a real F'd up life.
Ouch!!😵Over the years I've seen some horrible outcomes with chain fails with no chain guard.
@@CycleCruza Yeah no understatement on that Ouch! I never understood why people take it off. Even MotoGP has a form of protection as being the rear fender, so if the chain flys it will hit and come down protecting the rider.
I have the rizoma wing mirrors, it’s about half way there to having no mirrors. Sometimes you just muted the bike to have that clean look 💦
Been watching since I was in middle school I'm 26 now. Much love don't have a F'd up day mane
I rock the Helite leather jacket... and I love it! Highly recommend Helite airbags
The only problem with the airbag vest that have the cord on them. If you low side, you hit the ground before the court even comes off the bike so you have to get one like Alpine stars with the GPS.
The best mods are the ones you don't have. The aftermarket pimps want you to change everything. Except for utility mods like racks, guards, and that kind of thing, mods are money down a rat hole. When I look at used bikes, mods, especially for "performance," are a red flag because you don't know what molestations some backyard Jethro inflicted on the bike.
I can't stand riding without mirrors, not on the street
I think people remove their mirrors just for a slimmer profile and a cleaner look. Personally, I wouldn't do it. I like to see behind me. Especially when stopped in traffic/at a light. I always play with my brake light when there's a vehicle approaching me from behind from a distance.
thats why I ride a Vespa at 20-30 mph and race Ducs!!. No street motorcycle riding. I've had 3 bad crashes on the street that could have killed me. Cars are a menace.... I quit street riding.
Not only do I use my mirrors but I use Deep Moto 360 camera so I can see everything behind me on a screen mounted directly in front of me by my GPS
Integrated taillight/turnsignals look cool, BUT, in Pa., the Bike Shop was hesitant to pass it for inspection... Why? He claimed the turnsignals must be so many inches apart (I forget the number). The driver has to see a space between them that is following. He did pass the Integraded Taillight, but barely.
He was correct. There is a minimum spacing and height for both front and rear. Most all-in-one lights don't pass and if you are rear ended, your insurance may use them as an excuse to not pay.
Really love your vids mannn🙏. Hope you get more recognition because you deserve it💯
I didn’t even have to watch this video to know the mod. Mirror delete lol
🤣
I have put quick release gas cap on 3 ,they are the quality more expensive ones,it paid off i had a bad battery on my bmw had to roll start it and needed gas so i could leave the bike running and got home ok,but they are not necessary,good video cc
Not sure the chain guard would do much on my bike it is minimal at best. Another one they like to do is take the front sprocket cover off, I suppose so they can see the fancy sprocket with holes in it they bought.
This whole video is filled with so many f’d up days!!!!😂
Some states require a minimum distance separating turn signals from the left and right sides so those tail lights with built in ones are not legal. Always check your state laws for any mod. Ape Hangars cannot go above your shoulders in CA. and tassels cannot be hanging off at the bar ends not that I've ever had a reason to have them.
I bought a bike where the seller put Armor All on the tires. First thing I did was scrub them with degreaser and plenty of water.
I would say integrated turn signals are pretty bad. The tiny ones are much easier to see than those
It's not about weight it's about looks and a lot of fools would rather be completely blind to traffic/hazards behind them to look cooler 🙄. Ive seen multiple "influencers" removing mirrors and turn signals, you can't fix stupid. I understand getting rid of stock mickey mouse mirrors, but replace them with some bar ends, or unders, or any of the numerous other options that give you the basic ability to see your surroundings. Be safe.
I guarantee you he took the mirrors off because it looks cooler. Which is mindless. Unless he had it at the track. Either way hope he’s ok and heals up.
Off topic, you ever try to wheelie the MT? I’m thinking about getting one.
Removing mirrors is a dumb mod. While sitting at a light, it's nice to see if the car coming up behind you is slowing down
I commented on Fast LaneD’s video a couple weeks ago, about not having mirrors, like why??
People take mirrors off their bikes for looks. Not so much for weight.
That's why I ride by myself!
On my 2024 BMW s1000rr....
The other mod is going to a Bike meet-up and the Police shows up and Mistakes your motorcycle 🏍 who ran from them.
can airbag jackets be refilled incase of accidental discharge from not disconnecting it?
Yes they can. I use a helite vest and you can buy the cartridges.
But you have to pull pretty hard to discharge the capsule by accident. I think the force you'd need is around 30kg.
Only an idiot will remove the mirrors. I feel bad for FL D, but bad move. Not sure it would have prevented it, cause u got to be looking too, but just saying not something u should do.
Fast lane was riding a MV Agusta Brutale. Why you showing a Ducati?
CB1000 Hornet 🐝 is out 😍❤️
The front end absolutely dips into lean noticeably easier without mirrors on the fairings…
Worth it on the street? No.
But it’s undeniably noticeable without mirrors.. aerodynamics are more at play than the weight
For track yes, for street hell no.
It was not the “mods it was his own stupidity.
I cracked my mt03 front rim. It was a curb bro. A curb.
Gunna piss some people off with this carbon wheels being bad on street nonsense.. I can see why you would think this but here’s the problem.. there’s multiple bikes now that come from factory bone stock with carbon wheels.. do you know better than the manufacturer? And carbon wheels can fail you are right but what you don’t realize is it takes a much bigger impact for them to fail compared to normal wheels.. a carbon wheel can eat a impact that would’ve bent a metal wheel.. only difference is carbon wheels don’t bend they shatter when they fail.. but it takes way more to make that happen
Those stock bikes with carbon fiber wheels are likely track bikes. I showed pics of carbon fiber wheel fails in this video. Do a google search and you'll see more carbon fiber wheel fails, nearly all of them from street use. I would not take the chance and it really makes zero sense to put CF wheels on a street only bike.
Intergrated indicators in tail lights are illegal
If anyone is considering carbon rims, look up some vids of BICYCLISTS whose carbon rims have failed and imploded.
This video: learn from my mistakes. Just don't do it.
Nah something like that happens so fast even if he did have mirrors by the time he looked at his mirrors and saw the car best to believe that car woulda already hit him plus you can't really see too much out those mirrors anyway 🤷♂️ I prefer no mirrors looks way better and plus it only takes a second to turn your head to look behind you and you'll be able to see more of your surroundings by turning your head to look back even merging onto the highway I don't use mirrors to merge on because can't really see much out of them I rather turn my head and look back and see everything
Are carbon fiber wheels allowed on track? You’d know if you ever been to a track haha

If you know how to use mirrors they can be crucial to you not ending up with tons of steel up your backside.
Doesnt surprise me these instagram/youtube moto vloggers getting into accidents
I can't afford any mods for my motorsickle. Shoot! I barely had the chance to replace my rear master break cylinder a month ago. Luckily I found some change in my couch. Meow one mod i did....... well, its not a sorta a mod. I purchased a square top box for my bike. It was pricey, but well worth it. I dont like carry anything in my pockets, scared my items like my wallet or phone would fall out. Meow with a top box i can carry without no worries. Plus getting take out is no worries. Easy peasy lemon squeezey. Other mods i dont care and cant afford. When i get my mt10, or cb1000r. I will taking oof my square top box and retrofit it to my new motorsickle .
Bruh that’s crazy cuz the thumbnail is hella misleading.
I feel the same way I need my mirrors I get they’re ugly and look much better without them but no way
I was almost rear ended in my car and because i seen him in my rear view mirror and heard the tires screeching behind me i was able to floor it and get out the way
Nice save! Mirror can be a life saver. I just do't understand how riders can delete them for street use.
@@CycleCruza yea man ever since I’ve been very aware specially on the bike
The first time I rode on a racetrack with no mirrors it was the oddest feeling and I instinctively kept looking over my shoulder before entering a corner to make sure I wasn't cutting someone off. My buddy who already had track time told me it is up the the guy passing to put a wheel in front of you to pass before the turn so don't worry about cutting people off.
Psycho cruiser, I think the carbon fiber kickstand is so stupid and pointless.I've also seen carbon fiber handlebars
Carbon wheels are not allowed in MotoGP, so what is their application? Also, integrated back turn signals are garbage. As if it's not enough that back side of motorcycle is narrow, you want to narrow that light field more down so it's all same yellow red. It's a real safety hazard for rider because cars in a back can't quickly tell what direction is that tiny crammed light is showing. As for all that gas cap change, different color bolts etc...now where did we see that? Oh yes, the cake decorators OCC choppers. Why would one want to cake decorate their motorcycle...
Have you ever actually seen a motorcycle chain snap because that little plastic guard and gonna do shit anyway.
Carbon Fiber wheels reputation for being brittle or weak is LAST CENTURY DATA.
They are in fact stronger than cast alloy wheels. There's no downside to CF wheels, other than cost.
Get up to data Cycle Cruza. Brock's Performance has videos on how strong they are. GET OVER IT. By the time you bend an alloy wheel, CF wheels flex and spring right back. If you're going to hit something bad enough to break a CF wheel, an alloy wheel would be destroyed anyway.
I am not trying to go against what you are trying to say but I had mirrors still got rear ended by some kid on cell phone
Naw dog. Been riding for years without mirrors. They have no visibility unless you’re a 2x4. You as a rider should be looking everywhere at all times. Regular legit gear is just as fine compared to your air bag vest.

I agree with you, People get rear-ended all the time driving cars. Sometimes, it's hard to avoid stupid people who are not paying attention when they're driving. Regardless if FLD had mirrors or not that accident could've been inevitable

I like other bike youtubers... but even my man fastlaneD rides like a squid 99% of the time. He is constantly dodging gear and he squids the fuck out of his bikes. But there are so many that ride their bike like they are in some motoGP shit.... lmfao I have 0 interest in any of the "mods' you talked about lol - it's like cars and camber slamming them.... just something I never ever thought of doing and everyone I know trolls the shit out of kids that do... this shit would fall in that world lol. Fuck is the reason not to have a signal???!!? lmao.
Fast Lane D and his FLG took their bikes to COTA and filmed their riding. They would kick my butt on the straights but, I think I could have beat their lap times on my '87 FZ600 that only did about 135. They never did any hard braking into a corner and when I was racing it had to be hard on the brakes and hard on the gas because my bike had about 15-30 HP less than my competition. Once I took it to the track I had no need to ride like a fool on the public roads.
When I get a bike ill keep it safe with a Kawasaki 400

Wait, he got hit from behind because he removed the mirrors? You gotta be fkn kidding me bro, your bike is your bike, if you want to change something on your bike I don't think we need to consult CycleCruza to get the green light. Should everybody wear protective gear? YES But telling people your going to get hit because you don't have mirrors and have carbon fiber wheels is fkn outrageous. Other than that, another great video, but you definitely don't need to clout chase when you already got clout bro, kinda makes you look salty.

What are your thoughts on the tetherless electronic air bag vest
Don't throw em on the couch post ride
They are great too but I personally trust a mechanical tether more and you don't have to deal with keeping the battery charged or worry about the battery failing.
@CycleCruza Word. I'm going to be riding the twisties up in Empire, CO and am definitely going to get a vest.
Man just trying to get clicks.. You really think the mods are the reason he got hit from behind. He hasn't even posted the crash vid and this man is out here assuming he know all. DUMB MOVE. You aren't making friends by doing cash grab vids.

no carbon wheels on a motorcycle? Wrong! Newer more expensive bikes like M1000R competition comes with carbon wheels. It`s an upgrade, bike is more nimble and easy to handle, and stronger.
LOL. Tell me you're a squid, without telling me you're a squid. I have forged wheels on my S1K. The M is not any faster or more nimble than my bike.
@@Bailey-k2j «LOL» you’re 12? 1: Carbon is lighter which improves handling, braking and accelertion.
2: carbon is engineered to be stiffer which improves more precise handling and better feed back to the rider.
3: carbon wheels make less vibration, equals more comfort.
Squid is a yankee thing, we don’t have that in Norway.
@@captainkim7297 Nah. Thats like saying rain is wetter than water. Carbon was great back in the day. But new tech and materials are just as superior. Carbon wheels are shit, as they break easily.
