Thanks mate, it is a nice bike and trying a few simple upgrades to build my confidence on it more. I think I need to plan a trip that is a few days and get used to it properly.
@@AdvHQ This was my wife's. She bought it new. We sold it on New Years Day this year and I bought it back 5 weeks later! I rebuilt it after she got hit by a car and it is quite unique. So is she.
Nice mate. If you plan on keeping/getting a centre stand and a bashplate, maybe look into which ones are compatible. My bashplate is still sitting there in limbo hehe
Exhaust was Delkevic website, tyres, crash bar and skid plate (uninstalled and wouldn't accept refund) was Sunstate Motorcycles dealership. Good luck and enjoy the bike mate - I've moved on to a cruiser now (and dirt bikes).
Good work , shame the bash plate didn’t go on, the exhaust sounds fantastic and is now on my list for my 650. What brand of mirrors you got on they look good to . Cheers Paul
Hard to go past the exhaust for the price but a pain it stuffed up the bashplate - I'll sort it out one day 🙂. The mirrors are cheap as too, $22ea - help a bit with shoulder buffeting. www.easyr.com.au/oxford-trapezium-right-mirror
G'day, to be honest mate, the Vstrom has hardly been ridden since that vid. I've been spending most days off riding the dirt bikes. The tires felt good. Although there was one small stint where I got some vibration, lasted a few minutes then went away (happened twice at separate times, both between 90-100km/h). Might have been wind, road condition, speed, tyres, related - not sure. As said, it came and then it went. I don't ride it enough to worry about wear. Cheers
I’ve got the same bike and was riding with a guy who also has the same bike and he’s got the Motoz Tractionators on the back and dual venture on the front and is very happy with them on an off road. You’ll see his bike in the video. We both have to ride one to two hours on the highway to get to any good off-road stuff so I need good 50-50 tires. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7Jx7i1eaMoc.htmlsi=7eJZZk4pm-6iXcu_
What kind of mirrors are they ? :-) regards from Denmark , sorry just getting the hang Of writing in you tube 🙈😬 yer I saw your reply to the other dude in the comments ,anyway they cost 170 dkk per mirror over here so not bad :-) are you not gunna change the hand guards ?
Hi, I know you have sold the bike now but do you recall the specific E-07 tyres you used? I just placed put the deposit on a 2022 one and want to do similar to what you have done.
sorry mate, I can't remember the specific size/ratio of the tyres... I took the shop's recommendation from memory. Good luck with it, the tyres felt great - way better than the stock ones. I just didn't have the confidence to push that bike around compared to my enduro bikes! An ability thing rather than a bike thing! haha
I took it off before I installed the exhaust. I didn't even try and see what it would be like together. Sold the Vstrom last week. The exhaust does sit lower than standard though.
