Looking good! Is handguards a thing on harleys now? I want some for the grom for when I/my wife drops it.

 

It's pretty popular here in SoCal. I dont get it, but i dont "get" a lot of what i see.

 

I saw a street bob with them and loved the look ! It goes wayyyy better when you have a fairing... I’m debating what to snag...but either way... everyone’s personal choice is different.

 

Just get the gauntlet

 

So bigggggg

 

So this happened the other day. I guess it’s the same as when you park your Taco next to another Taco so you can see two Tacos.

 

Feels like even more of a bond when you park in the same spot.
*is everybody okay if another bike parks in the same spot as you?

 

if its someone I know sure - otherwise id prefer them not to - I just assume everyone is an idiot and something bad will happen

 

Yeah you really feel the wind without fairings. I'm so used to it now I forget... until I get on the SV and blast down the highway tucked behind the windscreen it's like complete silence compared to riding the Bolt at that same speed.

 

its definitely less power than I'm used to, but its got plenty of grunt down low that makes it fun - I have no problem coming close to rear ending sportbikes on twisty group rides. Everyone says that about maintenance but...I've put oil in it once a year? Other than that there's a $6-700 service at 10k miles. not bad.

 

There's some valve maintenance that the dealer told me was a couple grand. But he power factor was the deal breaker for me. I was commuting so needed to be able to do 80 with ease. I really liked the looks of the Icon, so was a little bummed.

 

I'll add another variable - how about parking in the city lined up next to other bikes?

This is street view of one of the motorcycle spots near my work. Some nice bikes out there most of the time, you really have to trust no one's going to bump into you or mess with your shit.

 

I kid you not...


Someone stole my seat. Between 9PM-6AM, this morning.

Sigh....

 

That is so fucked up. Any cameras in that area?

 

yea there are... but cops don’t do much...

I live in a luxury type of apartment / condo area... and shit like this happens all the time.

I’m so frustrated.

 

that sucks. bad design, held on by a screw instead of a lock.

 

Yea I noticed that too...
When I installed it. Silly.

 

You need one of these

 

Dude! W T F?!?! That's some bullshit.

 

Is there no way to secure the seat??
