Thanks guys. Mods are already on the way. Not sure if it is just the 05~06 year, but it runs rich in stock trim which interestingly doing intake/exhaust mods, even in the absence of a PC, will actually help balance the fueling a bit; but until I get the spools in I really can’t work on the bike. ---

I’d think riding with clipons all the time would get pretty tiring. I was so set on getting a new NC700X, but I really wanted a low mileage SS and in doing so I save quite a bit $$ also. I really want to get another EX250 for commute and errands, and mod the seats and put a freaking giant trunk on it for grocery shopping. ---

Does Honda design so the inside of this bike’s airbox is the most secure place on earth!?!? The shear amount of work just to change the freaking air filter defies all logic applicable to the known Universe. You practically have to disassemble the whole bike just to get to the airbox and then undo like additional 20 screws to get to the filter…🤣rofl:rofl ---

> [@On another topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/49669/7): > > The shear amount of work just to change the freaking air filter defies all logic applicable to the known Universe lmao, my thoughts exactly when I changed my filter. idk why honda felt the need to have soo many attachment points for the filter… it’s not like it’s going to just fly off or get sucked into the engine :lol I was able to get my hand inside the box while it was still attached and undo the screws with a very short screwdriver. When I reinstalled the new filter I only used half the screws. But it’s still too much of a pain in the ass to justify cleaning the filter every season like I did on the R6. ---

Finally swapped out those really bad lowering links that came with my bike with an OEM one. There is a reason why no one likes Vortex stuff and I would never recommend anything from them. Geometry changes aside, these 3 pieces lowering link are made to mimic the one piece OEM cast link which the way they are assembled is iffy at best and causes binding issues near the upper stroke of the shock and interfering with the shocks rebound. I simply cannot believe these link cost $140… Got my exhaust installed and instead of using the sheet of heat tape that came with the exhaust, I modified the OEM heat-shield to work with the new exhaust clamp mounting location. ![http://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-snc6/s720x720/180266_10150969207804294_204040397_n.jpg](http://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-snc6/s720x720/180266_10150969207804294_204040397_n.jpg) ![http://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/s720x720/556401_10150969209519294_760218672_n.jpg](http://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/s720x720/556401_10150969209519294_760218672_n.jpg) ![http://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-snc7/s720x720/600572_10150969212329294_113907770_n.jpg](http://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-snc7/s720x720/600572_10150969212329294_113907770_n.jpg) ![http://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-snc6/s720x720/229913_10150969212984294_1569454912_n.jpg](http://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-snc6/s720x720/229913_10150969212984294_1569454912_n.jpg) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/you-meet-the-nicest-people-on-a-honda/263826.md?page=2)
