Do you have pictures of the rubber crash guard sliders? I'm going to order the kickstand pad (and possibly some of the the carbon kevlar pieces) so I might be interested in these.

Thanks,

Mike

What is the black piece around the fuel cap in that last picture? Also, do I see some sort of kevlar guard on the tank? I'm curious about these pieces.

Around the fuel filler is a mount for a Bags Connection Micro tank bag.

Not a very large bag, just big enough for keys, sunglasses, phone, earplugs, etc.

On the rear part of the tank is a a rubberized tank protector with a fake carbon fiber pattern.

Is the Bags Connection made for the RX3 or does it also fit another bike? In other words which one do you need to order to fit RX3? thanks, rj

That is a clever bag set-up. Nice tank protector too. I also like the look of the bike without the trunk. :tup:

Bags Connection tank bags will fit nearly all motorcycles.

You just need to purchase the mounting ring for your specific motorcycle.

I measured the bolt spacing of the fuel filler and sent a photo to Twisted Throttle. They matched the bolt spacing with the existing mounting rings to find the proper fit.

The RX3 takes a Type 115 mounting ring.

The Microbag is quite small, and with the mounting ring recessed into the bottom of the bag, there isn't much room left. The bag does have a zippered expansion that allows the bag to raise up about another 1 inch.

I like the looks without the top case, too.

I don't need the extra storage, and I have never cared for anything that is high mounted, and sticks out past the end of the motorcycle.

Additionally, IMO, a high mounted box, out behind the bike, affects the bike's stability in crosswinds, and from wake turbulence from passing trucks.

But that's just my opinion... there are plenty of motorcycles that have top cases with no ill effects. And if you are trail riding, there are more important things to worry about than crosswinds and turbulence. ;)

I have one of the SW-Motech bags too. Here's my write up and pics

tusk 30mm risers
 

installed my risers had to reroute cables now it seems like i have some kind of buzz coming from the front i don't think it is cables but what else would it be? :hmm:

winyoochanok Risers
 

Has anyone installed the winyoochanok risers and if yes .... results? He sent me a pic of them ... appear to be very well made.

I'm installing my winyoochanok risers today. I'll take pics.

You rock !

It's to be noted that I didn't had to reroute any line, perhaps because I trimmed the width of my handlebars when I installed the bar end weights.
I find them very comfortable as they allow me to stand up without reaching down, and also when seated the arm position is more relaxed with elbows falling down in a natural way.
I'm very pleased with them.

I went to install my risers and realized that although the upper part is the correct size for our bars, the lower part is sized for a smaller bar. You can still clamp it down, but it doesn't come with spacers, so there's a gap.

To those more knowledgeable to me, is it all right to have that gap?

Rats!

Yes, there's a small gap. In fact the lower part isn't even really "round". As long as the flat part is correctly seated against the cradle I think we're good to go. My risers are installed like that and they're rock solid.

If you neep more pull back also have you thought about changing the bars with the tusk chub bars 1 1/8 taper down to 7/8. Come in a couple of different bends.

Indeed, the Tusk Chub Handlebars, CR High Bend, give a nice increase in both height and pullback. :) I have them installed on my Honda XR650L, and I like them a lot. They are an excellent value, selling for only $39.99. :tup:

Check the sizing chart tab at the following link for the handlebar dimensions. ;)

Wondering, with the cables out of the plastic shroud, what is the ultimate amount of rise/pull back that can be accommodated without changing out the cables - has anyone figured this out yet. I will need a pull back - Rox risers will pull back up to 2" so can that be managed given existing cable length?

would you mind shooting us a photo D?

Sounds like you got a set for a bike that came with 7/8" bars that you are upgrading to 1-1/8" bars. I'd send them back for exchange.
They will probably work fine, but the correct ones will the better.

I believe you are right. I got them from Winyouchanook in Thailand, so returning them is probably not an option.

I have the same risers. I have no reservations about the gap. The bolts wrenched down tight will be fine.

Here's my long overdue review of Winyoochanook's risers.

They're designed to convert 7/8" bars to 1 1/8" fat bars, but they work just fine with ours. They raise the bars about an inch higher and bring them in an inch or so toward the rider.

After a week riding them on street and dirt, I can say they're very stable in all conditions and work great. However, although I liked the rise, I didn't like the new pullback. The new location brought the bars right against my tank bag, making it hard to reach the release under the front. Also, I'm very comfortable with the stock reach and there was no advantage for me to bring it closer.

So I switched them out for another set from Amazon - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...ilpage_o02_s00

They were cheap enough, but they raise the bars less than I thought ... about half an inch. I'll try them this weekend off road and see how I like them.

I have the Yoo risers as well. I actually like the pull back but tonight I mounted my new wider CSC handlebars and there is not enough slack in the switch harnesses. I had to move the harnesses behind the triple clamp. Works fine but a pain in the ass.
