yer braver than me
with Ohlins suspension lifting up the ride height, i just ordered a 2011-13 CBR250r kickstand. OEM kickstand gets a scary lean with the current ride height. the CBR250 is a direct bolt on.
a lot of CBR250 stuff is direct bolt on my K-Pipe as wellQuote:

Had my OEM rearsets powder coated black. This is how they should come from the factory.

there are a few mini bike races up and down the east coast. WERA has 3 classes: Grom Cup, SuperBike Mini, and Formula Mini.Quote:

The race plate isnt mine and i'm borrowing it, since this is a one time deal for me. just wanted to ride it once on the track.
I used this sidestand on my K-pipe https://www.ebay.com/itm/38512039744...Cclp%3A4429486

Got a chance to get some laps at Summit Sunday for a mini bike race. Main course, but was cut to 3 laps. There was a 10 minute qualify session where I lapped them entire field at least once. Wasn’t a fair fight as most of the Groms were stock motors (pipe and intake mods only). I entered in a different class from them to not screw with their contingency and championship points. Not only were there a bunch of spectators going nuts over my Grom, but even the cornerworkers were recording during the race. I had so much fun, I was beeping the horn and waiving to them in corners during the race. You get a lot more free time on a 20-25hp bike versus something 115+hp.

I'm jealous, there is so much more available for the Grom than there is for the K-Pipe, it seems.
im enjoying the hell out of this thread lol
:spit: sorry, that pic is HILARIOUS!!! :lmao::lolup:
just need someone on your shoulders....
the pic was needed for people to understand how ridiculous it looks to be on a Grom as an adultQuote:

I'm too lazy to look. Do you know - or estimate how much HP/torque you're getting with it? I see the 90+MPH...
24hp, but will confirm when it goes on the dyno on my way to Daytona. i'm using 90 ethanol free pump gas on it.Quote:

NEO181 2v kits are 21-23hp out the box. mine has a port/polish head which is 24-25hp based off similar builds.Quote:
