That's a no- brainer !

 

[Misnblu2]

Do it. 🫡

 

[Swamp Daddy]

All these parts from my KRT are sitting around collecting dust 🤔

Might throw them on my 40th since the KRT is likely to spend the rest of its life off road.

Off road like my other motorcycle?

Dirt is for potatoes.

Asphalt is for racing. 😜

The front tire on my 40th was giving me the heebee jeebees in the canyons yesterday, especially when it was cold and first starting out.

After 1800 miles the front is way more worn than the rear. I've been riding this one a lot differently in the canyons than my KRT. A lot more of a flowing style barreling into turns maintaining momentum with little braking and acceleration.

I think it's time to replace the GPR-300's with a set of Dunlop Q5...and my next thought is maybe this one needs the @Gravesport Bitubo treatment front/rear. 🤷🏻‍♂️

The stock front end just doesn't even come close to the Bitubo setup and good tires will make the shortcomings even worse.

You mean that you didn’t put a set of Q5’s on it as soon as you got it?

 

[AV80R]

I'm frugal! (but not cheap) and wanted to get some use out of the stock tires.

 

[AV80R]

Disassembled for a deep cleaning and added PPF to the outer fork tubes and radiator tank.

Also installed the CF parts I had laying around from my KRT.

And the @Gravesport street riser clip ons with their aluminum throttle tube topped off with some Domino grips.

 

[Misnblu2]

Did you have as much fun installing the Domino grip on the throttle tube? 😂
I uses isopropyl alcohol to install and kept adding as necessary to force this tight fitting grip onto the tube.
I think I broke a sweat doing so. 😂
No need for safety wire on the throttle tube grip but I will be doing so on the clutch side to make sure there's no slippage.

Nice work on the steed btw. 🥰

 

[AV80R]

I had it on in 5 seconds using Windex as the lubricant. Give that a try next time!

It just instantly pushed on halfway and then I twisted it back and forth the rest of the way in the exact position I wanted.

 

[Misnblu2]

Yeah the Windex has the ammonia in it so it too can be used and when dry leaves no slippery residue.

It'll be awhile when I change grips again but I'll definitely try that next time.
I keep a bottle in my 18 wheeled daily driver. 😉😁

If you are interested in selling the carbon side scoops, I may be interested!!

 

[AV80R]

Put some work in on the 40th

Relocated the horn from under the triple over to the side by the EVAP canister

FTEcu sensor so I can have GP shift

@Gravesport brake guard of course

Right side engine guard cover

2.0 bar radiator cap

Yanked the wheels and installed the aluminum captive wheel spacers

They're already installed on my 40th so I'm keeping them, but they're available from Webike Japan.

I was thinking that you must be bored pulling off the wheels JUST to install the Graves spacers, but then I remembered you mentioned earlier about replacing the GPR-300 tires.

 

[AV80R]

Yep, time for the Dunlop Q5

I was able to really clean the green wheels off the bike too. It was time.

They definitely show the grime and chain fling more than the black wheels, but I love them anyway.

 

[AV80R]

I will always put a set of tires on the 40th that will wear out as fast as possible so that I don't go too long before getting the wheels totally clean.

I especially enjoy the bright color when it is mint!
