Jake the garden snake on youtube did a video on his black widow when he was doing his crf build. Worth a watch if you're looking at buying one.

 

Don't get me started on full exhaust prices

 

I watched that whole series
I just can't remember what he said about it

Little bike, little price

 

Not gonna lie, I went back to look for the video to link it and I couldn't even find which one he talks about it in and gave up Didn't realize how long that series got

 

I woner how much of "his" money is tied up in that thing

 

He talked about it recently in one of his videos. He said he had about $6000 in parts on it, most of which he paid for, it sounded like. Granted I think $2500 of that was the sumo wheel/tire set haha

 

I saw the cost vid, I just must not have been paying attention when he said it was mostly his money. I was probably trying to figure up in my head how much free shit he got

I guess I should stop watching "important" vids while I'm at work and save those for when I'm at the house

 

Any one in the socal area, I am putting a bike up for sale.

2017 Yamaha YZ250F

A great bike for a kid moving off of 85cc’s or superminis.

This bike is also grandfathered into the old “green sticker” category - since it is under 2022 MY. For more info on that google “2022 dirt bike law change” and stuff will pop up.

Extremely slow day at work today (we trade presidents day working for christmas eve off) and I've been looking at Grom parts.. message the wife and say that it's taking all my willpower to not order more shit for it. Her response: "yolo".. Soooooooooo guess that means I'm ordering more parts, right?

 

My post would have read

..........."yolo"................so I already ordered parts

 

Progressive Suspension minimoto shock: ordered



Now to head on over to sprocket center....

 

Pulled the front forks off my Buell and dropped them off to get new seals installed. Small, local shop is doing them for me. Never did inverted forks before and with what he quoted me it's not worth my aggravation to try. Told him to just fit them in when he has time. He told me he'll probably knock them out tomorrow.

 

No external reservoir.

Just looked up the ohlins rear shock at hard racing and it’s not on clearance anymore. $530 now

 

@spencermarkd gotta get that “Squad-Ron” headlight!

Nah, LP9




https://www.steadygarage.com/collec...-headlight-conversion-kit-honda-grom-125-2022

Only $729 including the light!

Edit: the squadron pro kit otd is about $500 with all the other bits and pieces needed, makes the LP9 look like a decent value NGL.

Where you seeing 530? Lowest I'm seeing is $629

May have gone with the progressive because the colors matched my design scheme

Edit: found then one you were looking at, I was looking at this with the remote reservoir instead of the piggy back: https://www.steadygarage.com/collec...da-grom-125-2022?_pos=15&_fid=a0bdb683b&_ss=c

 

That kind of triggers the trypophobia

 

@gixxerphil

looking at this skid plate. https://www.t-rex-racing.com/Kawasaki-KLX250-KLX300-Heavy-Duty-Skid-Plate-p/n251-18spb3.htm The crash bar is an add on. Don’t need it, but damn sure different for a small DS bike.

 

$530 for piggyback for mine. $699 for remote resi for you gold would match your scheme

they are 45 mins away from me. I am tempted to stop in but I know I would spend way too much.

 

Look up Ohlins forks for my bike, 2021 Honda CRF1100L

then say goodbye to your T7 plans
