TEGBOI's GROM
3
Just picked up a Red GROM from Honda Kawasaki KTM of Santa Monica on 09/01/13.
Bike had 2 miles on it, rode the bike bit by bit, getting used to it, having fun with it, but my 2nd nature if modifying things, so I couldn't leave it alone, even the first day I got it, looked around my garage, I've got many parts laying around, some new, some old, some parts made or purchased for other projects that they never ended up on. So this is the first time I've seen this done, just to see how it is.
I think it has 26 or 28 miles on it now.
Got photos of everything, uploading video footage from my GoPro3, will be up as soon as I upload it all, and do quick edits.
One of the first pictures of some of my toys together.

I am a bit of a photo fanatic, take tons of photos, videos, and post a bunch.

First meet within 3 hours of ownership @ Deus Ex Machina
First mod @ 26 miles - Chrome Clubman Handlebars. Had them laying around, and I love how these bars are on my '63 Cub. I know it's a completely different type of bike, but I like how these clubman bars actually fit on the GROM. Compared to stock, it's about 2 inches lower, and from front to back, angled more, instead of being generally straight across like a drag bar.
Also tried mounting the clubman bars the typical downward way, (somewhat mimics angle of clip ons) but there wasn't enough room for the bars to rotate towards the back of the bike, to have the bar more level, so I mounted them upwards.
Rode with the clubman bars upward, and loved it. Went around the neighborhood and it had me at a much more comfortable position during cruising/riding. Slow speed sharp sharp turns are slightly difficult because these bars are lower, and right before lock my wrist comes to about an inch of my knee, and if I move my knee away from the tank covers, they would touch. It's okay for me and I can ride comfortably with it.
Time to call it a night!

Fact! But hey, Its your, build and love it like you want it
Ended up at $4600 OTD, thansks guys for the welcome! I'll be planning to do little bits of modding here & there.
We all know how that goes.. The 63 is actually faster than the GROM currently, but it'll just take a couple mods, and the GROM should be just fine..

Hahaha perfect.. When word got out I was there to buy it the sales people started flocking "can I ride it before you go??" And even the owner came up and asked, said he had been dying to ride it haha I guess that's a good sign that even he wasn't riding it aroundMine had 0.1
