    A friend of mine has a Honda Grom and I was actually shocked at how slow it was when I got to ride it. I hadn't previously processed the slowness when he was accelerating at full throttle in front of me and I was barely opening the throttle.
    the throttle is more of an on off type of deal.

    the tune with the intake and exhaust added 3 hp and on a 9hp bike that's quite a gain

    but slow nonetheless. Literally no sensation of acceleration

    but somehow wildly fun.... for me at least

    That is a smell the roses kinda bike, so to speak. all you can do is cruise

      We don't have fun roads here so I don't see the point of it in our context but he has 5 or 6 bikes I guess a little of everything.

        Pulled them apart over the weekend and was able to separate the rubber stalk from the blinker body.
        Enlarged the fairing stay mounting holes and mounted the housings directly.

        Still oversized but at least they are not a mile away from the bike now.
        And will definitely help me squeeze between parked cars in my driveway. Those front blinkers were previously the widest point of the bike!


        Oh, and changed the oil on the R6 with some Motul 7100. Just ticked over 30k KM!

          When my truck got jacked, I had my Arai in there unfortunately

          was rocking the old sedici for a while, but finally upgraded again...

          Got the Bell Race Star Flex

          Like it a lot more than the Arai. It also just looks way more coolerer
