Wow! That's quite a list of mods. If I were in your shoes, I'd ride the 300 the way it is and spend all that money on a track bike instead. Granted, I've never left my bikes stock and spent too much modding them, but I did do it over time. I've had the 636 for 9 years and 400SM for 6 years. Try the track as planned and go from there. It is very addictive and can get expensive, but is worth every penny.

15/42 is great on the 300. Plus the fender eliminator on the 300 is super easy the stock fender simply unbolts.

If you wanted some super cheap purple you could always paint your windscreen.

hahaha, no thanks I actually made the mistake of getting the dark smoke on my 250 screen and realized afterwards it was too dark, I may not look through it a lot but it made me not want to lay as low on the tank as a safety precaution -- I'm thinking ZG Clear Sport Touring, if it comes out.

Not liking the braking like others have mentioned? Make sure they give you the "old" pads back. I worked at Mazda for a couple of years and we were told to not fit trailer hitches on our Mazda 2 and 3 models. Is your Fit rated for towing? If not, be aware that any problems it might cause won't be covered under warranty. Sorry to be a downer, just letting you know.

Here's some details on towing with the Fit: http://www.fitfreak.net/forums/729708-post7.html Oh, as for the braking -- I haven't had a problem with the brakes, but I've barely ridden the bike at all; just that it was the only thing explicitly called out as something I should do so I thought I'd get it out of the way. |

lol if thats the rear the 300s come on #2 from the factory. Ive tried 1,2, and 3 but I bumped it back down to 2. On 3 any decent but I would come off of the seat.

On a side note if I got a black bike I'd name it Razgriz. Kudos if you get that one.

I think it was, we actually reset it and went through the settings but honestly it feels the same as before and that would make sense if it comes on 2 from the factory.

Loving the purple theme. Since I'm pretty much unwilling to spend money on cosmetic mods, I'll have to live vicariously through you artsy folks.
On the 15t sprocket: SO GOOD. I was just riding home tonight thinking about how much better the bike is like this. Not only do you get a usable first gear, but 2nd and 3rd gears feel so much meatier. Although I'm sure the change is objectively small, the bike subjectively 'feels' like a bigger bike to me. Being able to pull longer through each of the gears with a bigger spread of power is just really nice. I also found myself staying in 5th much more, and really just using 6th as on overdrive for when I hit the open interstate. Overall, best mod I've ever done to a bike. |

Is it strange one of the very first things I noticed was the massive chicken strips on that rear tire?
