yes

 

Yes you do. Approved.

 

What brand milk crate are you running?

 

Now you're getting it!

 

Depends a lot on the part or accessory. When I worked for a Harley dealership it surprised me how much mark up varied. Painted parts usually had the lowest margins. Consumables like oil, filters, spark plugs had a reasonable mark up. Helmets and riding gear were high profit items. Accessories are a crapshoot.

 

Uhhh menards lol

If you are asking about my bike I don't have one lmao

Haha I've had a couple of them now! Still want another bolt one day again for a toy. Maybe one day!

 

Braptastic!

 

A new cat and a new bike is a double win imo. Cats are awesome

 

Oh oh, those eyes spell trouble...

 

That one looks like trouble haha

 

Yuuup I figured lol I'll order it eventually!

Ahh I gotcha

Not exactly sure the big issue is finding amount for a xr150l.

 

Its pur first as a family. Ive had one in the past for a few years as has she. Kids love it.

So far so good! He was feral at a farm

I hope not. Ha

 

the trick is to pretend the cat is punishment so the wife thinks they won too

 

Lol sorry sir. I know it's technically above the median height but certainly don't feel that way lately

 

If you have a givi top box that has monokey, you can get the hardware to mount the box for cheap like 15$ .

 

hopefully not lol

haha im only 5'8"

really? onto the xr oem rack?

 

I've had mine for 14 years, he was about that size or smaller when I got him. Couldn't ask for a better pet

 

Anything is possible with some bits of metal and simple tools. I had 2 33L givi trekker cases that came with my super tenere that had the side case config on the bike. 95% of the time I only need a single and wanted a top box and with the double hinging config the 33L cases work for both side and top box. I cut out a piece of aluminum to mount the box as a top box on my tenere, then when i started using the XT225 as an around town bike I did the same on its rack. This was with the mounting hardware kit I used https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/givi-e115f-junction-kit?sku_id=766203

For an outcome like this. (corners have been rounded and metal pieces have been painted since that pic)

 

Speaking of the XT225. Been absent here as I was out of town this past weekend and a few extra days in northern CA for an big friends and family lake trip to Lake Almanor. Last min decision for me to go and I surprised everyone at the dinner venue for the bday boy the trip centers around ( its 1200ish mi of driving, and I had done a similar drive to norcal - shasta lake - 1month prior and saw a good chunk of the same group of people).

Honestly SOOOO glad I went. This was a camping, hang out, SUPER mellow trip with some lake things and chilling at the shore just enjoying peoples company - 30ish of us. Brought back so many good core memories of when I was younger camping with my immediate family.

I drove up but went hell let me bring the XT225 as a mode of transportation once I got there and so glad I brought the ole girl. Ended up riding ~60 miles in 2 days just be bopping between camp sites, cabins, fishing spots etc. Lil thing ran like a TOP even though I was at 4500ft vs the 0-100ft its normally used to. I literally didnt move my truck from thursday evening till sunday morning.

 

That one comes with a generic mount that will work with almost any rack.
