Duct tape is cheaper.

 

Yup looks like you can add a Datadim module to control the light output. Good to know...pricey stuff but nice features

 

Buy once, cry once.

You've seen my lighting in your mirrors. How conspicuous am I? I've high-beamed a few brain dead idiots that have pulled out in front of me a few times. When my lights go full power they usually wave an apology or pull over and let me go around.

 

Or just full power all the time. Good quality Led lights are usually good for 50k hours

 

True they definitely make your bike stand out, it's that triangle of something or other haha

I also need new riding gear and think I'll go with hi-viz stuff this time

Triangle of conspicuity

 

so after a bit of digging around on the tumper talk it could be my acct thats causing my issue and my timing could be off by one tooth so ill have to go home and mess with that and then look into a mcct adjuster anyone own a drz with a mcct?

@spencermarkd I think this is the first Navi I've seen in the wild... green with matching crashbars

 

Ohhh those are hard to come by. They don't offer them in the US yet so you have to find someone to import them from mexico for you. If I don't sell my Navi my plan is to try and make some crash bars and a skid plate this winter.

 

What's the thoughts on this? I know the smaller BMW(F700 and 800's I think) have the engines made in China, so they can make a great product if the QC is watched.

Excelle Reveals ZF 450 LS Rally Specs As Model Nears Production (rideapart.com)

 

The early G650 was made in Loncin, F700 and 800 were made in austria by rotax proper, and then f750 and 850 went back to loncin, IIRC. I'm 99% sure my f800gs is an austrian engine at least and I remember a lot of hubbub on ADVRider when the 750/850 came out about being made in china.

But like you said, it's all about the quality control. KYB suspension and Nissin brakes are known decent quality names, so it would make sense if the engine was held to that standard too. You could look at things like CSC here in the states, too, I haven't heard much of anything negative on their reliability.

 

it looks neat but thats a lot of plastic! i cant even see the engine! i do wonder about reliability but it might be good?

 

i do love the rally front thou! wish i could get something like it for the klx but cant find anything sadly lol

 

Welp she made it to work I was just one tooth off on timing

 

Hell yeah

 

I definitely wouldn't want to be some of the first to try it out, but if it does well......I moight look for a used one down the road

I hope they do well to be honest, competition is needed to keep things in check. The $6100 price tag looks good so far.

Can't see my engine very well either

 

yup! she rode nicely on the highway at the slower end of 60 and did great on the back roads so lets hope the ride home is just as good! (knocks on wood!)

yaaa you got a point but that other one seems to be covered more haha

 

Here's to hope
