Any particular reason to go to a sealed chain on something so low power like the grom?

And good luck with the rabit hole of that is a grom - i got sucked down long ago, but hey its still my most used bike! Stock bike dropping a tooth in the front or going up 3 in the rear (essentially the same ratio) is key for fun use.

 

preparation for the 'busa swap

 

this is my other keyboard:



I got a lot of "how do you know what you're typing with no markings?" questions when I used it.

 

I have a habit of neglecting my chains for extended periods of time figured I'd go x-ring just to keep the slippery goodness inside for a bit longer. I'm dropping a tooth in the front going to 14t.

I'm farrrrr down that rabbit hole already, here is where my spreadsheet is at right now..I figure when I have it modded to how I'd like I'll probably be at about $2k.

 

Hilarious timing on all this keyboard talk.. literally just yesterday I was looking at a higround keyboard and thinking huh, maybe I should upgrade, and started debating how I'd feel with a 65% keyboard. I'm currently on a logitech g613 mechanical keyboard and it's not quite thocky enough

 

So I decided to wear my on-the-way-out second pair of SMX6s so I can show how much I wear them. Yes, that orange near the slider is my pinky toe.

 

As an accountant, 110 key or nothing. Has to have a numpad.

Even schmoozed our office manager to buy me one for my desk thats the same one I have at home.

 

Looks good to me. Nothing wrong with a little more airflow!

 

The Grom is a slippery slope indeed!

 

OH BUDDY NO NO NO....

dont ever tabulate stuff up like that hahahaha.

Do those wheel spacers have a smaller OD to reduce friction at the axle seals? Just modded my stock spacers on my grom after a few beers one night and it seems to of made a difference.

 

Same, it’s just so easy to hop on the Grom and ride around!

 

This. Even as a finance guy, its the one activity I refuse to do.

Also, if you're married, password protect that ledger. Thats blackmail material!

 

Trying to save some gas on the Victory (joy riding every day gets expensive @30mpg) so I took the KLX out and had some fun dual sporting!

 

Also keeping the spreadsheet so I can keep links easily accessible for the descriptions on my videos haha

Not sure on the OD, hoping so. I plan on measuring/comparing before finishing the install. Heres the link to them: https://mnnthbx.com/product/mnnthbx-billet-wheel-spacer-kit-for-the-honda-grom/

 

Ugh huh sure. You are keeping the spreadsheet for when you go to sell it. You will be like $10k invested don’t lowball me, I know what I got!

 

better watch out, He's an 'Influencer"

 

Well, it IS a Honda.

 

"you can literally watch the craftsmanship I put into this bike, that's priceless provenance. But I'm choosing to value it at $4,000, you'd easily pay a shop that to install everything but you can just watch me do it"

Edit:

"don't forget to like and subscribe"

 

The best is when they add normal maintenance like oil changes and spark plugs.

 

This brought a tear to my eye. I knew Alvin a bit and used to work with his younger brother. Great guys! Good luck on the podium finish!!
