  • I didn't expect to be filming such an "EASY" bolt on part, until I seen there were no instructions at all & a bundle of unknown parts to attach it? 🤔
    So thought I better share my own experience which involved making up a couple of brackets so I could actually use it! 🤬🤬🤬🤣👍
    Check out the guy I suggest who fitted a far superior part to his own BMW G310GS & fitted 1st time!!! 👍😎

    Thank you for the shout out. I appreciate it. I had the same issues with the headlight guard. I was upset about spending the time on it. It's over $2000 dollars here in the US to replace the headlight. I just decided it's worth it to pay the extra for something that fits perfectly. I really like your videos. Wish we could ride together. Cheers and stay safe

    Did you notice the extra 10bhp gained by adding the wheel decals 😂 At least your headlight guard was an Ali express jobby, not a wildly expensive for what it is ( still Chinese made) Power Bronze rear hugger. I bought one for the Rocket and spent the best part of three days trying to get it to fit. I had the same issue, misaligned holes. A phone call and email with photos to PB has never been responded to. Eventually with the help of my son we managed to lever it to fit. I met another Rocket owner who got so frustrated he binned his. I also previously bought a PB screen for my FZ1-S it developed stress fractures within a day, whilst under cover in the sunlight. 😤

      11bhp infact! 😮🤣👍
      I got a Powerbronze hugger with my MT-125 & it was ridiculously hard to slide it over the factory rear seat, so avoided that brand since! 🤬😂👍

    I fitted a headlight grille to the CB 500x but ditched it very quickly. I felt it cut down the light too much. It took a fair bit of bending to get it to fit properly. I like your wheel sticker, looks cool. 😎

      It's just your luck sometimes Al, but sometimes stuff fits & works without modifying it! 🤣👍

    Those rim decals definitely set the wheels off 👍I know how you feel about non fitting Beijing bits, I had to take a file to the nav bar I bought for the strom too, 🤬🤬

    I've never ever thought about the wheel tape. Is it also reflective?

      Well, I didn't like the riding position. On the reflection I think the 500x would have been a more suitable choice. So I decided to get 30mm risers with a 25 mm offset. The gearing was to short, so replaced the 15 tooth with a 16.
      Honestly it's made the world of difference. Enough to make me want to keep it for a while yet. I do like the look of the new Himalayan or the 500x as a future purchase..
      Are you getting out any on your Honda pal??.👍👍🏍️

      I don't think my CB has been out since it's MOT, but if I get the chance tomorrow, that's the one I'll be riding! 👍😬
