    If I'm reading it right he's suggesting it'll go over 90, which sounds terrifying on wheels that small.

    lol that grom hauls ass, 4 valve heads are really fun on these little bastards

    if you have to ask "why" anyone would need anything I think you are missing the point of living life...

    over powered groms are much like 10 second station wagon

    or obnoxiously tall bars on harleys :eek::crapstorm::anonymous:

    i finally scratched my bike after just under one year of ownership...

    heated, but luckily it seems like it was only the decal.

    before buying a new decal I am actually considering removing it off on both sides and keeping the tail all red

    pics of the unfortunate scratch and the stupid damn culprit

    Seems like a good opportunity to buy some cheap rolls of vinyl and make your own cooler decal

    has anyone put an HID kit into their bikes? I just did and used a proper relay which has a direct battery connection, but I still get a very short on/off flicker when I do anything after a couple of minutes, like flip on the high beams, use a turn signal, etc. Do I need to get one of those anti-flicker capacitors now?

    I just went through all the headache of redoing the wiring on the HID relay harness I got because all of the wire lengths were wrong.

    I can only guess that there is a slight dip in voltage in the existing headlight wires whenever I do anything else with other lights (except my brakes).

    Ah! Bummer! :eek:

    Well, at least it’s not cracked or gouged too deeply.

    You need to lean that bike over more. That tire looks like it is on a Harley.

    I would say that sucks. But I can’t after reading your previous post. In fact, I’m glad it happened.



    That’s seems a little high for that many miles. I’m still trying to decide what the next project will be. Slammed truck? Dual sport?

    @fatfurious2 would be correct. My wife and I love the smokies though. We go there whenever we can get an extended weekend to get away. We have discussed that being our next place to live if we ever decide to move from here.

    Mostly stock with a few minor mods.
    Just put a small sticker over it and call it a day. Take one of the free ones you get with the aftermarket parts and slap it right on there. No one will ever know.
