First mods were pretty simple. Removed warning decals, reflectors, ash can and seat strap. Performed the air box mod and got a 14T sprocket within the first month too.
Got the Renthal RC high bend in black. Went with the Renthal oversized bar mounts. Renthal road grips in a soft compound. G2 aluminum throttle tube and MNNTHBX bar ends.
Using a quadlockcase.com phone mount. Under the seat I installed a battery tender junior connector with a usb port. Charging cable routed to controls for phone.
Filter fitted to bike. Used a UNI vent filter for the crankcase breather. Rerouted some hoses/wiring. Relief cut on shroud. MNNTHBX shroud brace used too.
@rkwfxd haven't rode it yet since installing but I suspect the wait for you will be worth it. I'll post my thoughts once the weather and my schedule work out.
Loving the RaceTech fork upgrade. Great around town over bumps and pavement transitions. No more diving under aggressive front braking. Hit a short road with some nice curves and elevation changes. Very good feel considering stock rear still. Even with the vee rubbers. Also two up riding around town with the gf was improved. Best change so far.
Sylvania silverstar ultra installed today as well. Nice swap to improve night rides.
Saw on hardracing's site that Öhlins has replacement springs coming too. In case back ordering is an issue still or brand matching is your thing. Curious to see the pricing and spring rates they offer.
More so seeing if this is something I'll be comfortable with. Gonna give it a few test runs before making up my mind about it.
Since looking for a set of mirrors, I've had the idea of running a backup cam. Found this one on eBay. It's pretty neat. It transmits a wifi signal and an app on your phone displays the mirrored image. So far so good. Just a brief ride as it was cold. There's only a slight delay. Not to replace over the shoulder looks for lane changes obviously but you can see what's behind you just fine. Wide angle view. Prob not legal as a mirror replacement. So if you mimic this, you're on your own. Clean look though and I'm pretty proud of my install.
Tied the tiny transmitter into tail light harness. Camera is a one wire connection. Kicks on with ignition. Phone connects automatically. Open app and and off ya go.
(Sorry all I have is camera phone pics for all contributions. I'll try to use a buddy's gopro to show this in use soon.)
a buddy of mine's 7 year old daughter felt the Grom needed a floral arrangement. "When a little girl puts flowers on your bike, you're kindof stuck with em for a while."
My daughter and I are very close. We had so much fun together when she was 6-16. No she is 20, in college, working, and in love. Not much time for Dad but we are still close.
They make the breaking any better than just adding better lines?
