Well, the Shark has made its arrival.

On the note of cable lubrication. I use and swear by this stuff. It really does work well, lasts quite a long time, and makes cables silky smooth. It also does not thicken up/get stiff in colder weather. It also smells great lol. https://www.amazon.com/PJ1-1-12-Cabl.../dp/B00HRXOGVW. I've had the same can, used on 4 different bikes, for 2 years, and I still haven't run out.

As far as tools, it depends on how comprehensive you want to be. For a simple kit, excluding tire tools/tubes. A bit type screwdriver and the right bits for the bike (usually a couple of JIS Phillips heads and a couple flat head sizes) an 8, 10, and 12mm wrench and/or a ratchet with those size sockets, a metric allen set - I have a folding version, and an adjustable wrench or two. Some Zip ties and electrical tape never hurt either. That is usually enough to do most basic repairs/work on import bikes.

clutch adjustment on these bikes are finicky. i have my lever set with no free play and the manual says 1/4 to 1/2 inch. if its not totally disengaging even just a little bit neutral will be hard to find while running.

Getting a back rack bag (dont know which one yet), putting together 8mm-15mm, pliers, allen wrenches, zip ties, rope, and a little first aid kit. The light on the front isnt bright enough for my liking, so I gotta find a better replacement for that.

These led are one of the best upgrades to do to these. Makes them be seen and much better ,safer sight at night. I would urge all to purchase led headlights for their bikes for this reason.

On two of my bikes, I used large camera bags that I found at the thrift store. Super cheap and very durable.

I've been keeping an eye out for some. Using an old DeWalt tool bag atm. Need something a bit bigger.

Yes, You want the LED's for low beam to face the top of the housing to reflect the light downwards. So if you get that exact bulb, the 3 low beam LED's go up. Love that light, Its my favorite upgrade.

I orded this yesterday for the rear.https://www.google.com/search?q=Sylv...hrome&ie=UTF-8

Good to know, thank you. Has anyone replaced the exhaust on the brozz or shark yet? Been looking, but not sure what would fit.

I got mine yesterday and installed it last night. What a big difference. They are bright. Like MOTOXtreme said the 3 low beams go up. I didn't realize how bad the stock lights were until a few nights ago. Most of the night riding was either night trail riding were your only going 20 mph tops or in the city with all the street lights. Well over the weekend I took a right out of town and didn't get back till late that night. going 55-60 on back roads were was riding were there are no street lights. It felt light I was out running the headlights. lol I took a short ride last night and it was like night and day. Hi beams are super bright. I can't wait to do some night trail riding. Check box on good buy.
