    Looks great!

    Spent as much on suspension as you did on the bike, lol....
    That makes me laugh when I think about it. I was talking to a guy at work about the same thing. He is big into guitars, No problem spending a couple thousand on one. I was musing that he is crazy then I realise I have spent nearly as much on my last 3 motorcycles as they cost to buy. On my last liter bike I put on a full carbon / stainless Akrapovic exhaust. (Opposite of cheap). It looked and sounded killer though. To each their own i guess. As long as I can pay the bills and have some scratch left over for the little things.

    At least I can ride around in comfort while runnin from the rona.

    After nearly a year collecting bits, I did a major suspension overhaul on my Honda Grom. They are a fun shooter but designed for a 100lb Asian. I spent a couple hours thursday, Friday and today during work. I am in the auto business and it slowed enough that i made a deal with my boss to let me work on it in the shop as opposed to just not coming in..

    The wheels on the face-lift bike are cast aluminum with crappy vee rubber tires. I tracked down some of the first gen rims. They are forged enkei rims with Michelin power pure tires. I had a buddy paint them Porsche GT3 gold. I also installed a big EBC brake rotor up front. It uses the stock caliper and pad set but with a spacer to allow the big rotor.

    Full suspension upgrade; ohlins rear shock, ohlins front fork spring kit with valves, ohlins 5wt oil. Finally, I replaced the rear swing arm bushings with brass and stainless sleeves and used a titanium swing arm bolt. The thing articulates super smooth.

    Probably way more money than a guy should spend on a grom. It does make the ride much better with one of my kids on the back though. View attachment 211239 View attachment 211240 View attachment 211241 View attachment 211242

    $700 was a pile of money in those days. I wanted a CB750 but too much dinero. 1970 was a great time though. It seemed like everyone was riding. But the Mach III was scary as heck.
