    Amazing attention to detail. I wish more people put this level of effort into customizing bikes.

      Thanks! It's better with the wheels, though I still want to get the seat flattened out. Cheers, John th-cam.com/video/rDdvgRztk60/w-d-xo.html

      That's why it's so great being near the ground... and it's less far to fall!

    Brother ur a genius and im liking what you've done so far . I'm an American who's main bike is a Tiger 800 that I love .. I bought a 17 grom last year that I have a blast on ... I like what your doing with your grom and have plans to do similar... Great video n I'll be waiting for the next episode of your Africa Grom ....

    Love your build and grom videos :) You might already know about them but Racing Boy have spoked rims for the Grom, they do not fit the abs models however :(
    Already waiting for the next Africa Grom video to be uploaded. Amazing project sir.

    Aw man. Now I miss my little tiny tourer. I really wish they would make one with slightly bigger engine (15bhp) and stiffer suspension for us fat westerners. I loved mine to bits but the hills killed it in Norway.

      Lots of people replacing motor in USA with various 250s and with CBR300...

      The cb300r at 320lbs.makes a bigger grom, so to speak..30 hp.

    Does the alternator cope with the added accessories? Did you work out how many watts you have to play with? Love the bike and would love to do the same!

    Is there any place that I can see your pannier rack in more detail? I plan to ride distance on my grom and need more storage for supplies, tools, parts etc..

    • @bennettsbikesocial
      @bennettsbikesocial  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      It's just a tubular frame that's the right size for the Kriega bags to strap onto. It bolts into the fixings under the tail. I'll try to get more detail in a feature on www.bikesocial.co.uk, but I'm afraid that's a while off. Cheers, John

    Not a fan of the grom, but that one is cool.

    I just found your content , great stuff. Where did your friend find/get/make that high clearance exhaust ? I am very interested. Thanks

    • @bennettsbikesocial
      @bennettsbikesocial  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      He made it himself - pretty cool eh? Cheers, John

      @@bennettsbikesocial thanks John , very cool I love the custom work on the bikes. I saw in another one of your videos , your friend mentioned he used a pit bike exhaust and modified it . Would he share the information on what exhaust pipe he used?

      R&G imports them in the UK; they do them to fit standard Grom bars

    What's the blinking light in the tail?? Immobilizer?

    • @bennettsbikesocial
      @bennettsbikesocial  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes - it's a Datatool Evo Plus self-fit alarm/immobiliser. The Grom hasn't got Honda's HISS immobiliser built in, so this adds a little extra defence.

    I'm confused. Why not just get a Honda CRF250???

    • @bennettsbikesocial
      @bennettsbikesocial  6 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Where's the fun in that?! The CRF would be great of course, but this is different machine. Needless to say, it's not 'really' an off-roader, but on a slightly serious point, I own a KTM 1050 Adventure, and have a BMW G310GS on review at the moment... I'm far more confident off-road on this than anything else! John
