    Dude, a Benadryl puts me out for 6hrs :rofl: I definitely wouldn't be a functioning drug addict, I'd be that dude folded over in the corner drooling on himself

    One non scientific way to test is to look at a green dot. Those typically show up better for folks with astigmatisms. I run them in everything I have :rofl:

    ah that's tricky. On the one hand I'm lazy like that as well and tend to lump things together to do all at once. On the other hand, I can get too lazy and break up things to do one part here, one thing there, etc.

    since it's tires though i'd prob do it sooner than later to scrub them in sooner in case of any less than ideal weather. And you're commuting so 80/20 will cause a hit to your MPG and comfort.

    Lol sometimes I wish I was sensitive to that stuff...benadryl doesn't make me drowsy at all. I guess the good side to that is I don't have much risk of becoming an addict since I never seem to experience the preferred side effects that people abuse drugs for

    Uh....yeah this sight is a green dot lol. the Holosun 507K-GR X2. has a simple dot, circle with dot, and circle only as reticle options. I can pretty much only use the dot, the other two end up looking way too large and "starry"

    It's definitely better than the red dot on my previous pistol though

    True! It’s already raining off and on here so better to do it. Plus my riding friend is out of town so might as well wrench this weekend.

    They ride out of country through Patagonia, Baja, Thailand, Vietnam, Columbia, Bolivia, plus the Oregon BDR, plus more.

    Trust me, they take those cast wheels plenty of rough places.

    I have a Swampfox Blade with this reticle on my 300BLK. I can clearly see it now. Before, I couldn't really make out the difference b/t with the "chevron"

    Awesome! You going to put it on a motorcycle?

    If I were bored enough I’d try and wire up the light to the bikes ignition but it also seems a little pointless haha.

    DO IT. I was so glad i went through and got my tenere how I wanted it relatively quickly vs piecemealing stuff and living with things I wanted to change. Also tires are HUGE (as is maintenance)

    Once again, this thread has caused me to look at all different kind of bikes. Somehow got onto the CB300R's. I dig the blue with bronze wheels.

    I have one strapped to a Versys turn signal like you did, but won't be running the light on that location for obvious reasons. Dog really likes the squeak it makes.

    I’m waiting till 15k to do the fluids so its easier to remember to do them afterwards. I’ll do the oil change every 5k, rear end every 10k and the valves at 25k.

    If you strap them to some DRLs like I did you can run the lights too. :D

    Just as a warning, though, that propeller will probably eject itself on the highway.

    Lol, maybe. I used a drop of CA on the screw to the post. And I don't hit California freeway speeds where I ride. Fastest is about 65 for a whole 10 minutes, then it's curvy canyon and county roads.

    I absolutely LOVE that blue n darker gold. I have HEAVILY considered and still consider it to replace the Grom. Doing my XT225 expirment right now, but I might ultimately end up selling both the grom and xt225 for a CB300R in that color.

    I don't think it's a surprise, but I just love these little bikes. I don't ever need to run over about 70(55 for 95% of the time). They're just so light and nimble. My Rally tops out around 84.....but it's not something I'd want to do for more than a few minutes at most.

    The post was fine, it was the propeller that spun out of the post.
