    I know you don't want to add aux lighting but you could theoretically add it to the front carrier, not the bolt on hitch, just mounted to the motocarrier and have a plug for when you remove it. That way your not adding anything stupid looking to the front of the van permanently, and wiring in a simple switch to near the driver seat should be fairly easy.

    Funny thing is the front mount will probably weigh less with the bike on it then some of the front bumper setups with all the accessories in the world bolted to them.

    There are some serious bad-asses in Marin with those front/rear bumper set-ups, lift kits, and flood lights. I'm sure its completely necessary for the fire roads they go on.
    Jerks buying up all the 4x4s.

    Aux lights on the rack is a pretty good idea. Just some cheap amazon light bar or something.

    Let the escalation continue.

    I may buy the lights off you when you’re done too if this helps.

    Drove it for the first time in just under a year. Just home from storage. Fun little bike.

    Re: To sell or not to sell...RC390

    RC390 competitive in anything in NEMRR/LRRS?
    Can I change suspension and still be competitive? If not, is the only workaround starting with a cup version?

    If I remember right, the Cup version is restricted for class uniformity.

    Been awhile since I've looked at this rulebook.

    Rulebook says RC390 Cup is supersport legal.
    I imagine putting new forks with adjustability on a normal RC390 makes it illegal for supersport? Rear shock should be okay to upgrade?

    Re: To sell or not to sell...RC390

    Yeah, I believe most go with a full cartridge kit for the front and complete shock for the rear. I’d do some reading on the NEMRR rules on this class of bike. For a while to “level the playing field” they *very scientifically* dictated rules about power modifications. Not sure if those still exist.

    Re: To sell or not to sell...RC390

    Scratch all of this. Just looked at results and there are 4 people that race in the 300 classes. Not really interested in that. Extra tid-bit, all experts are on R3s.

    I think I'm just leaning towards selling this here, maybe buying a 600 for track days back east, and that's it. This would be a fun little rain bike, but the limited track stuff I might even do does not require 2 bikes.

    What's the Timmy offer? I imagine this will go pretty fast at $5k, so not a lot of room.

    Re: To sell or not to sell...RC390

    To post something much more enjoyable...I just sold my RC390. $4,500. Paid $5,300 out the door in January 2019. But I did add ~$1,000 in modifications.
    Good kid from Santa Cruz, was happy to toss him a pretty nice Suomy in the deal as he was driving away. His first bike.

    Re: To sell or not to sell...RC390

    what are you getting next?

    I built another mountain bike the other day

    But honestly, until I move somewhere with my own garage, I won't get another motorcycle. If I have to go back to the office I'll just get an e-bike so I can bring it in the house.
    With all the long term traveling to/from the east coast it just isn't worth it to have something that requires title/registration/insurance and that can get parking tickets.

    More interested in a middleweight or dirtbike for the east coast since I've spent the past 2 summers there.

    Re: To sell or not to sell...RC390

    Not sure if street riding is even your thing, but I saw this thread on BARF that may be worth a read. My biggest regret when I moved from South Carolina was not riding the NC/TN mountains:

    https://www.bayarearidersforum.com/f...1#post10823631

    I'll be up that way in about a month to ride most of the roads mentioned in that thread. The riding is truly something else here.

    That is exactly why I love California. But all my street or dirt riding is on bicycles, and that post translates almost perfectly to those.
    I'm heading up to Downieville for some MTB shuttle runs in a few weekends. BRAAAAAAAP.

    What is SUPER sweet about CA is that once you get out of bay area, a lot of the trails I ride are super intertwined with legal dirtbike trails. If I had a place to store one and friends that did it as well, I'd highly consider getting a dirt bike.
    But honestly, my heart is full with the pedal bikes.

    Re: To sell or not to sell...RC390

    It will be really hard to ever leave Cali due to all the amazing riding. I have a dirty bike (if a WR250R counts) and wish I had more folks to ride with. It spends most of it's time in sumo mode.

    I haven't been to Downieville since college but I remember it being epic. Any chance you're looking for company if it's a weekend event?

    Its a weekend event, but I'm not the ringleader of the plans, just along for the ride. The bigger issue is that we already have maxed out the shuttle.
    I'm also crossing my fingers that it doesn't get snowed out.

    It does make me feel better that I bought my 2018 model in January 2019 and only paid a little more.
    It does make me feel a little bad for the kid I sold it to, but the aftermarket on mine was the pure quality mods that most street riders add (Akrapovic slip on, header pipe, levers, tail tidy, mirror deletes, helmet lock, front wheel lock).
