Look at all that room you have for more bikes!

 

Well this is funny timing. Doing my nightly FB marketplace scroll and wouldn’t you know it, a Rokon.

 

Cool! It's even the right color....
Dang too bad it's a scout though as I really want the floatable/fillable rims.
Thanks for the post, that is the kind of add I'm looking for, though would really like a Ranger so I can take it on the road if needed.

 

Had to do a bit of tinkering and staring at the bike tonight. Lights will be wired up tomorrow.

 

I stalled temporarily with installing my lights on the 2013. As I was working on hooking up wiring it crossed my mind that I still want to add an auxiliary fuse block under the pillion seat and run all of my additional wiring to that as opposed to right on the battery. Why am I hooking stuff up to the battery just so I can relocate it later? Dumbass. Ordered my FZ1 fuseblock and power cable for my Zumo XT last night. Realized I'm better off doing it all the way I want the first time instead of getting back into that battery 2 or 3 more times as parts arrive.

It helps that I learned from the tracking number for my heated gear cable that I won't likely have that until Thursday so I'm just going to let the 2013 sit for a few days with panels removed and do all my electrical stuff at the same time.

 

When do you guys think the ‘24s are gonna start rolling out?

 

not sure but have you seen the 2024 zx10rr colors? they have a dark purple for the heritage line and man i hope it goes to the other models...

 

Fun fact about Honda in the US, they don't give us the full suite of colors. Honda usually has 3 colors for the CB500X, but the US only ever gets one for any given year. Usually the black option.

Not sure if other Japanese brands are the same way, but I that color I wouldn't hold my breath for. They are only making 40 of them, so I would guess the color is a one off.

 

That's happened with Yamaha as well. The 2014 FJR1300 for the US market is red but Canada got a really cool looking Root Beer Brown metallic that never came into the states. I've seen pics of Australian models in colors never offer in the US as well.

 

idk how i didnt see this over the weekend but congrats man! great color as well!

that sucks but to be fair its a ram/dodge.... they are kinda known to be stolen then used in a street takeovers totaled and left somewhere... which is what most likely will happen with his...

looks good! now you gotta find a way to put the duck on the light lol

 

most likely... but that means i just buy a black 400 and vinyl wrap it right? lol

 

I'm seriously considering a wrap if I can't get anything but black/dark charcoal on the next bike. I want to be visible.

 

Obviously this is a job for duck tape.....

 

So much more room for activities, now.

 

Wheelies in the garage!

 

ya i also just hate black bikes like man its so boring!

lmao not sure how well that will hold

 

Or stoppie’s. was called an endo back in the 80’s doing the BMX/Freestyle thing.

 

Gorilla glue?

 

that might work with a single ziptie for extra hold

 

Ordered this dongle. Hopefully no more fussing with the electronics when Im offroad.
