    Great vid Mike and look forward to seeing the rest. As a 2022 kxf 250 owner myself I’m very interested to no how they mount the launch control button. I know it’s on the left side of the steering stem but no one’s done anything close and personal. If it’s something u could do I would be internally great full 🤙🏻🇬🇧
