Old but still a worthy watch.

 

true ill keep an eye out if i get it haha

 

get one of the workers there to help you bump start it if you can't do it yourself? if they'd allow that lol

 

Thanks man, yeah it was pretty mangled and I was too…glad to be riding still

 

They allow to start but no riding so prob no on that lol. Also off topic but I tried getting to see it and set a time but no times available until Wednesday the day the auction ends… so I was like well fine I’ll set it for 3pm then… we’ll we stop doing previews at 3pm but I can still Schedule you! Oh for the love of god!

 

for real man that looked bad!

 

Looking at tomorrow’s weather and it looks like a decent day to take out the Klx for its first proper ride after mods.

 

umm sir where is your plastics on the radiator lol

 

Have you checked aliexpress? https://www.aliexpress.us/w/wholesa...?spm=a2g0o.home.auto_suggest.3.135076dbAnia7W

 

Wasnt that the second link he had posted? I don’t remember tbh haha I’ll give it a look if I win this bike lol

 

It was. I've bought a few things from them. I always use my PP that way I'm protected.

 

I’m sorry but I read that as something different not PayPal lmao

 

Hahahaha same... Had to go back and reread in the context.

I do the same with Ali and my PP

 

I only use my PP on Ali...........well............use my fingers and click the mouse too

 

the pine trees ate it lol

 

XR150L handguards don't fit on the Grom

The right/brake side fits, just barely, but on the left/clutch side the lever sits out about half a centimeter further than on the XR and interferes with the mounting bracket. Ughhhh. Did some looking around and it'd be impractically expensive to do a swapover of XR lever parts to make it work. I'd need full perch and lever assembly at around another $70 and then the two sides wouldn't match.. so I'd need to do brake master cylinder assembly at $150 plus another $20 or so in lever and bolts/screws/nuts. Doesn't make sense to spend more to make cheap guards work.

Whomp whomp. I was really hoping it'd just bolt up and go, especially after the first one went on just fine.

So, anyone need some cheap XR handguards? I've already assembled and unpacked them and stuff, doesn't seem right to return them, especially since it was a gamble on my fault and not the sellers fault at all.

 

Haha at least i wasn’t the only one!

ah shit man haha them trees do jump out at ya don’t they!

 

Got pics and maybe some measurements? My xt225 needs some handguards
