I would totally agree but my r7 tank grips are still in perfect shape and the tank grips o put on my sons r3 i did exactly the same but found my alcohol and used that and they fell off on the first week so I don't know anymore lol
Upgrades looking great bro! I just got my swingarm spools along with my front and rear wheel lift stands you recommended. Looks like I got some more ordering to do lol thanks for the video!
Really enjoy your videos; alas, R7 is yet to be released into the New Zealand market, but till then I relish watching your delightful videos. Cheers, from across the other pond!
I work insurance claims for bikes and ride. I've indeed had total losses at work because frame sliders caused frame damage when we would have otherwise just had to replace fairings and bar ends. now if you are going slow or if it just tips over in your garage, it will save you.
Nice! So good to hear from sonó e that actually has data about it. I did end up taking them off now that’s it’s a dedicated track bike for me. Thanks for the comment!
Thanks for the video! From here it looks like the frame sliders won't save your turn signals, right? I want to install those to improve my slow speed skills and be able to drop the bike a lot, but ofc I want to save all parts. Do you think 13cm (5 in) would be enough?
Thanks bud, no it won’t save the stock ones but I installed the flush mounts and it will save those. If you want to be able to drop it a lot a impatech cage might be a better choice
Great video, I totally agree on the reasons to get each of these options. Personally, I wouldn't recommend the Yamaha OEM optional tankpads as they look OK but don't provide that much grip. On my track bike I installed "stompgrips" and those provide a lot of grip, especially in the corners hanging of the bike. I have no experience with the brand you used.
Thanks bro, stompgrips are the best in my opinion but they weren’t out for the r7 at the time, and I don’t like cutting my own out of the big sheet. these tank grips are good too just not as good as Stompgrip
5:30 i mean there ARE frame sliders that are more "skid" shaped, not just round pucks. Round pucks makes no sense, since the motorcycle is travelling FORWARD, which means you want an angled smoother surface facing towards the front. That will prevent it from "digging" into the tarmac and flipping the bike. I dont know why 99% of people put the round pucks.
Coming together nicely!!! What's next rear sets, bar levers, does it have a steering dampener, or what's the chain 520 or 530? A thing used to be on the big bikes with 530 chain you convert it to 520 and add a rear tooth, you lose a lot of weight in the drive chain and with the added tooth more acceleration, not sure if that's still what people do, I'm out of the loop now a days. 😂🤙
Thanks bro, I’m eyeing the front lights, levers and finishing the intake and tuner before I mess with chain and sprockets I think, gotta see what the power will be like
For sure, me too…what you riding now days? I might finally make my way to your neck of the woods next year, would be really cool to get a beer and hang out 🤙🏼
@UCh-k4NFr8t2jj9x2koq7YCA definitely maybe even squeeze in a MTB ride I got an extra bike or they rent too. For motorcycles I only have a 2011 YZ 250 2stk right now sold my streetbike when I moved here but watching your vids has me itching again just for a sportbike not many roads worth wile just to many tourist cars and slow speed limits so you’d be breaking the law 110% of the time. A dual sport would be sick over here. Give me a heads up when you come and if I go that way I’ll do the same I have good friends in paso I’ve been wanting to visit too. 🤙🏼
Do not by any means put a locktight on the frame and engine mount...just tourqe it tight to factory spec...it is a fatal error doing this...please read the service manual of the specific bike
Hopefully this is helpful, Happy Holidays!!!
Tank Grip install 1:50
Frame Slider install 4:18
As always a cool video, great explanation and showing mate. Thanks for sharing. Keep up the good work and have fun. Ride on
Thanks ck, cheers!!
Windex typically has amonia in it, which actually creates a residue that works against adhesives... alcohol would be more appropriate...

Haha thanks bro, enjoy the bike I know I’m having a blast with this thing

Good job , frame sliders look good , not cheap 👌
Thanks bro 🤙🏼

Thank you!!! Hopefully they release them for your guys soon 🤞🏼
I also just received the same type of your tank grips. May be can start installation this coming sunday.
Nice, tank grips are awesome 🤙🏼
LOL, at high speed your bike is ruined no matter what! Nice video very informative. Thanks
Haha thanks, the only real changes from then is a hero 10 and a rode lab mic… lab mic is a big difference. 🍻
Thanks for the video!

Yea the skid shaped ones would be a lot better and they look better too
I know exactly why 99% of people put round pucks on... Cost. I'd get the Yamaha pucks if they weren't three times the cost.
😂 for sure

@@ScoutsOut for sure, really interesting to see the incremental gains with each mod along the way 🤙🏼

Trip out I left a comment but the tag is funny look above this comment
How are the tank grips holding up? Any peeling?
There holding up great, no peeling whatsoever
very cool
Thank you, glad you liked it !!!
Does anyone know if this exhaust system is street legal in AZ?
yes it is
There supose to be plastic frame sliders so it slides on the concrete.
Do not by any means put a locktight on the frame and engine mount...just tourqe it tight to factory spec...it is a fatal error doing this...please read the service manual of the specific bike
Ok good tip
stunt cage is way better then slider
Cage would have a lot more protection for sure
@@ScoutsOut yes it does and it bout the same price as slider. or 100$ more
But why is the ugly a** warning label still on your gas tanks
Lol was lazy, it’s off now though
"this should come stock" 😂 Keep it for yourself dude, it's a useless, horrible-looking "upgrade", sorry to say and glad it's not stock.
👍🏼
