    You will never feel the handlebar vibrations, after the ride you will feel numb palms for a couple of minutes. If you are a tourer, no matter what bike you have you will hit the roads! You will get tired sooner than riding on other bikes for long distance. RC hates undulated roads, potholes, road patches and lane dividers, it will just transfer the shock to the rider, thanks to the tyre profile and stiff suspension setup. But you will get to know how to tackle them once you start riding your steed. Gloves gives you good comfort compared to riding with bare hands apart from the core necessity of protection. Don't jump in doing all the mods you read in this thread, take your time, enjoy riding your bike, start small DIYs like lubing, washing, etc. eventually you will start doing more stuff.

    Exactly! i will first try some thousand kms with no bar ends, if i don't have a problem i won't do it.

    is your paddock stand ready yet?

            [MENTION=73103]joe_marvy[/MENTION] my oh my, the DIY looks fantastic guess the weights i bought already wont go waste
            just need to get them fixed up on the bars



            and meanwhile got myself a plug and play hazard light module, that gets plugged into the accessory port and rest can be controlled via the stock indicator switches. Happy because I didn't need to play with the stock wiring which i had to on my RTR to get a hazard light module fixed on that.

            Had to remove the loopback plug(probably put in to avoid any error flags if no accessory is connected) and put it into my "box of stock RC parts"

              2200 bucks.. not bad.. but the quality is much better than the ones available outside..

              ----consecutive posts auto-merged-----

              dude, does it blink normally and all four lights simultaneously? like in cars? coz I think that the speed is way too much and looks more like strobe lights....

                  he took a fabricator/welder to the ktm svc and that guy took all the measurements from the stands that ktm uses.
                  but poor ajay, the cost went up to 2200 while he expected it to be 1500

                    for that price pre-made ones powder coated are available. the one i have is good 7-8kg of weight. same price including shipping from mumbai.

                        I'm surprised the svc guys allowed that.

                            But I have what KTM has at cheaper rate.. And mine weighs over 10kgs.. Really thick and I'm confident it can lift a Hayabusa.. Not that I'll buy one.. But meh.. This is better than the ones from Mumbai.. At least I didn't have to worry that someone might run away with my cash.. [emoji16]

                                So, it blinks normal and slow then fast?? Or can it blink normal and slow like cars?? The video you put is like 1-2 seconds.. Please give a longer video na.. I am looking for slow all four blinking like the ones in cars.. Not airplane strobes..
