I want their center stand.

 

Those light are ridiculously expensive IMO. Definitely get what you pay for but complete overkill. I got the majority of my BD lights on the truck in a trade for work which is the only way I was able to justify the expense. I almost had a similar deal for two LP6s and was planning on putting one out the Harley.

Definitely look cool though.

 

That LP9 kit looks like it belongs on the bike! I never ride at night so it would be a waste.

 

Looks cool, but such overkill. I laughed at their disclaimer to not leave it one when it's just sitting there idling, I can't imagine the little tiny stator on these puts out much more than 50watts. Looking at it I can't imagine it'd be too hard to fab up a custom mount for something wtihout "BD" on it and at a more reasonable cost. I can 3d print pretty strong shit and the mounting points aren't particularly tough to figure out and measure.. hmmm..

Also definitely don't look at the rear end of that bike. I think it looks so dumb compared to the rest of it. BikeEXIF did a feature on it the other week: https://www.bikeexif.com/custom-honda-grom-steady-garage

 

Will you hurry up and buy one already! I think I heard @spencermarkd say he would ride one down there for you

 

that thing looks like it was rear ended. Ugh. I know people have different tastes but you know there was at least one guy on the design team that didn’t agree with that choice.

 

I already have a mental parts list for stuff I’d buy and a separate one for things I’d build. I can’t really say what’s holding me back other than the fear that I’d be the guy that puts 100 miles on it after 5 years of ownership.

 

Just think about how many smiles would be had in those miles!

 

.... I definitely haven't bought $36 in parts for every mile I've ridden mine so far.. no no not at all

Spoiler: spreadsheet for the 19.5 miles I've put on it so far

 

looks good man

 

I am doing good with mine! Spent about .42cents per mile on parts

 

Anyone else have a 360° camera? I just bought one mainly to use on my sailboat during races but put it on my bike today. It gives you some pretty cool video options.

 

here is the one I put in my klx300, very nice quality and lots of protection.

nobody spends money on aftermarket bits in here! lol


speaking of that i need a new tail light mine decided to short out... damn yoshi tail light

 

Appreciate it. I think I'm gonna be real happy once it's done.

 

I can't decide if I want to do the "number plates" in white or black.

My photoshop sucks, but it's a start

 

I forget who wants a T7, but this seems like a good deal

@w.adventures

 

Moved the tank bag, it wasn’t terrible in the other location but it did hamper my right turns a bit.


And installed Caffeine on the tablet so the screen doesn’t shut off, and got the windshield risers installed, and got the ram mount ball set so it doesn’t move.
I think I want to get a 90* adapter so the cord doesn’t stick out so bad but I like how the cord management is and all I have to do is add the tablet charger from the battery and run it into the tank bag.
Since I’m so tall this is pretty much in the ideal spot, just a slight glance down to see the GPS, I just won’t be able to tuck down on the tank like I used to on the interstate (but in reality how well can my 6’4” 300lb fat self tuck).

 

For anyone wondering, the Chief got inverted front forks, Fox rear resis, and dual front brembo brakes this year.

Fairing and handlebars as well, could be sold if not cosmetically/functionally pleasing.

 

Can anyone recommend some in-boot padded riding pants for under $150?
