    I saw that. One of my old friends lives in Denver. Hopefully ill be able to make it out next summer.

    Can you just wait 10 min, and it will change?

    VA is 80 today, but tomorrow is 54. Not as big of a jump, but something

    @GHOST SHIP @loosnut - based on this picture do you think i can go 2" shorter on the brake line? My new bars are 1/2" taller than these. FYI its a 29" upper line

    I think so. Looks like way more than 2" of slack in that line and still have room for full lock to lock.

    What are y’all using to wash your bikes??? I have that Harley Denim paint. Apparently you’re not supposed to use just any wash??

    Im not sure. I have denim red too. I thought maybe HD denim soap, but then again anything Harley is going to be expensive.

    Also, I just usually wash the bugs off the headlight, and then keep on riding

    Not too expensive. Maybe ebay or Amazon are cheaper? but for $9 cant complain too much..

    Another perk with the Honda Grom. First 600 mile service is $6 worth of oil :rofl:

    I saw a thing a while back that you can use a heavily diluted windex to wash the denim paint. Something like 1:10 ratio.
    I think the reason they say not to use “regular” car wash is because a lot of them contain additives to add shine. That shiny shit leaves blotches in the denim paint. You might be able to get away with a heavily diluted all purpose cleaner like dr bonners.

    I usually use McGuires detail spray for touch ups. I’ve only washed the bike twice since I’ve owned it.
