@Sacrifice do you miss your 690?

 

My world changed when I discovered JIS bits shortly after buying the CB750. Bought a motion pro t-handle with #1,2 and 3 bits and never looked back.

 

got my tax return last week, paid off the balance on my cbr loan, and decided to pick up some levers that just arrived today...








now getting the itch for another bike, however I have not made up my mind on that yet so we shall wait and see....

a red grom would be fun but my dealer does not have any red groms available, nor do they have that xr650l I always dreamed about as a kid...

they do however have a 2021 crf450rl and a 2021 500excf in stock waiting on the showroom floor. both rather tempting options, but I cant make up my mind. prob shouldnt borrow anymore money from the bank either..

 

500exc supermoto would be sweet!

 

kinda just torn because i like the idea of having only honda machines in the stable, also coming in around 1500 bucks less makes the crf450rl tempting

but yea that 500exc would be a blast I know for sure, something about the 450rl that I just do not like

 

I think once the Honda is uncorked it would be a fun bike

 

In certain ways definitely. I miss hooning on it and the stop light to stop light stuff. But riding the r6 more (i havent had my 600 since 2015?) it does the commuting and highway much easier/smoother. If more friends rode supermoto like the old days and there was dirt to explore the 690 would have been nicer.

But overall im content right now

 

Havent heard of that brand. Ive always ran ASV but they are expensive, lol

 

I remember reading nightmare stories of brakes locking up with the cheap Chinese knock off levers sold on ebay...

Never heard of TST either but hopefully not the case with them

 

yea same here, I have only used asv levers on all my two and four wheeled machines...

well up until this cbr that is.

I dont remember how exactly, but I came across this company TST industries back when I first picked up the cbr and wash shopping around online, below is a link with some tst industries info:
https://tstindustries.com/about-tst-industries.html
They seem to have a very solid reputation both on and off the track. I would recommend them, at this point I have ordered a hand full of different items from their online store and everything has been solid.

The womet tech items they sell that I have purchased so far all seem to be quality, below is a link with some womet tech info:
https://tstindustries.com/womet-tech/

 

Yes, I have those! Unfortunately, I have a tendency to over-torque and that always seems to cause problems later! lol!

 

Ah they are manufactured for TST, i missed that.

I bought the TST integrated way back when i had my cbr, that was when TST first started i think. It was a solid product.

 

i am not 100% sure about that, I believe TST is just the exclusive dealer for womet tech here in the states and not the actual manufacturer
womet tech is a Polish company, these parts must have come from poland because there is polish wording and QC stamp marks on both the packaging and the parts
these womet tech levers are now branded with a tst log as well so there is something between the two, I vaguely remember a video where the TST guys mentioned being a part of the R&D process


(oops sorry i read your post incorrectly, yes they are manufactured for TST, and not by TST)

 

Curious to hear how you like them. The r6 might need an upgrade, lol

 

yea I will let you know how it goes with some pictures during the install and after trying them out on the road, hopefully only a couple weeks away.
everyone in this thread talking about riding because of the better temps, but there is still just too much sand on the roads in my area not to mention the pot holes




definitely the price point was nice, compared to brembo, crg, rizoma, asv, vortex where each lever is around 100 bucks alone...

however they are not unbreakable / fold back like the asv levers are (but for a street bike i figured that was less a concern in the event)

the red looks more orange in these pictures, but its clearly red in person:

 

Hmm, they would look good on a Honda grom

 

tst has a nice section for the grom, check it out just punch in the year make and model

Rizoma has some nice grips. I had those on my cbr too.

 

Ive heard of TST. Thought they only made turn signals. But Id be interested in other things that they make

 

The frame sliders are tempting. Only a matter of time before the grom gets dropped.
