Thanks! The tube is from Amazon:

Ucreative 90 Degree Elbow 4-Ply...

$15 Ucreative 90 Degree Elbow 4-Ply High Performance Coupler Silicone Hose for Vehicle with T-Bolt Clamp ID: 1.5"(38mm)

The clamps were way too big though, so if I were to buy again I’d just buy from eBay without the clamps for half the price.

I also added a 3D printed insert so the air filter had something more solid to clamp onto.

 

as far as I'm concerned, the 73 IS our Autobahn. if we have to pay to be on it, and it's always empty....I don't see the problem lol

 

Y'all pay for the 73?

 

youch but it happens! i havent had a ticket on my bike yet thankfully! (knocks on wood) im normally speeding in town on highway well its slow so i really have to try haha i have been caught doing little baby wheelies lately by a few cops and they just look at me like dude really....

 

i wish but we dont have stuff like that really here... any and all dirtbike tracks get destroyed by atvs and side by sides

 

You need to find a SM track near you! It’s some of the most fun I have ever had on a bike…just don’t take a bike you can’t drop.

 

unsure if thats around me lol plus i have a drz she fat lol id ideally like a lighter bike for a track setup and not a worn out old drz

 

Cleaned up the truck, kinda, and it looked pretty next to the bike.

 

Them DRZs are what people run to get it son! At least a 400 anyways…

 

Been watching mx and freestyle all day it’s been a good day.

 

dont normally see anyone race a drz400 tbh i know before i did any type of track racing id need to get better gear to do that plus redo the suspension and brakes i think my front pads got glaised for some reason its not stopping to well anymore...

 

Are Grom clones worth it?

 

I have been looking hard at a newer trials bike. I got so many logs and boulders where I am at, it only makes sense.

 

I went through this dilemma a lot recently. Seems the consensus is that they’re fine to hoon around. Some parts are interchangeable with the grom, so some aftermarket stuff from the previous gens fit too. They’re carbureted so you have to be ok with tinkering with it if you’re not going to ride it frequently. I don’t think I’d commute on one and would prefer the reliability of a real Grom.


However… If someone made a money knock off, I’d probably have one in the garage already.

 

I found a couple high mileage (10k+) groms and Z125s near me for ~$2k obo. One in particular has a cracked frame. I offered the guy $1200 if it has a clean title. He probably looped it because it has other cracked lights. Might not be worth it.. but lately ive been itching for a project.

I don't know.. we will see if he bites

 

ya id like a light dedicated trail bike to do offroad stuff with but moneys! maybe one day i can get another toy haha atm money is going to the civic lol

 

how much does a frame cost?

 

Idk, but my welder was $500 a few years ago

 

Look at this!

 

haha got a point!
