Devin @MotoCult is hoping to have full kits for the new 223s by ‘spring’. He’s checking now to see if the 292 cam will fit.

Began having starting issues on my brand new bike and thought I had the dreaded ECU gremlin. Decided to do the air box delete and pod filter, leaving the stock exhaust (baffle removed). The air box is a little more difficult to remove than the vids show on The Tube. When I got to the air box to throttle body I realized it was barely attached! Whomever put it on tightened the clamp and pulled it right off. Needless to say, I ensured the pod was well attached to the throttle body, and it to the intake. Now it starts right up and will just need some running to teach the ECU my setup.

Wish I had a camera to video my mods…maybe start a channel.

Replaced rear brake line with: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...e?ie=UTF8&th=1
Fantastic results. Brake is very firm and immediately responsive. However, the brake switch has already failed! So today I’m installing: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Will report results and some pics after I’m finished.

I still have the rubber brake lines, but I changed out the brake light switch early on and never looked back. It's a great cheap improvement and it's worth changing even if the crappy plastic one isn't broke. Take a hammer and bend the old mounting tab against the frame. You could grind it off too, but I didn't want to eliminate that mounting point.

Mine all stock brakes and no problems,changed pads once in 8000 miles.17 front and i think 37 on back wheel,70 mph top speed. Think it might go a little faster,will find out in the morning.2021 TBR7 that i thought the transmission was going bad,but just a junk chain i installed around 3000 miles. Never saw a chain so kinked up,it was cheap my fault.

I would think so to, but there is a specific review saying it won’t fit the new DLX…
I’ve bought other parts that haven’t fit. Will be glad when these bikes get even better aftermarket support.
