jojo87 you are diligent... wei2go you are observant.
Together you are a force of nature good job keeping the sunny side up.

thanks. I'm a mountain biker and grip is super important on loose tracks. Some mountain bike tires are made to be reversible with one way for speed and the other for grip. I've seen my arse a few times opting for the speed option. At the end of the day I've lost more time, dignity and sometimes money in going for that bit of extra speed. Rather go for the grip and make it home safely.

Just put the rest of the Rim Stickers on the rear Wheels, looking better now and still got a few more spare just incase any come off :-)
hate this weather though, makes the Bike look ugly and dirty...
just went over it all with the hose, will probably be raining for weeks on end now so no point going over it to get the water marks off as usually as soon as I get down my street it starts to rain anyway!

jojo what size are your City Grips, they make such a nice look on your PCX. I'm hoping yours are the stock size because that's enough rubber for me. Very nice rim stickers bro, sorry about the rain but its soggy here in Chicago too (for the whole week) and I don't ride in the rain... booooooooo

[jojo87]

Yep they're stock size homie :-)

I have sorted through all your images and when you get the big 'L' off could you maybe take a full on rear picture so I can see how the stock size CG fills the fender well. I really don't want to mess much with Honda's balance of mpg performance for aesthetics. No hurry, maybe someone else has original size in Michelin rear mounted and can post.

I cant take the L Plate off, legal to have here and it's stuck securely to the Number Plate so would have to get that off too...
someone on here has posted a Photo, they have City Grips on, they aren't in the UK so haven't got the L Plate on the Bike,

We have had a week of rain here too that is supposed to stop on Wednesday. The fall foliage should be beautiful for riding with all of this moisture as the leaves turn. It is beginning already. I only ride on dry pavement so I will wait for the stock tires to wear for the upgrades. Do you guys ride on snow too?

[homie]

yea I cant be sure that one is stock size.
snow, black ice and two wheels... no thanks

Isn't that kramnala's pcx... if so that is a 140 rear, he was the first here to get a 120 and 140

[kramnala58]

That is indeed my PCX. I am not back in Thailand for another couple of weeks and I can't remember the exact size of the tires but I am pretty sure that dasshreddar is correct.

When I swapped them out from the OEM ones they made an immediate difference in handling and I hardly ever ride in the rain either. My OEM ones were worn quite a bit, but based on the difference they made to me, I wouldn't hesitate swapping out the OEM ones even if they don't have any wear on them. Sell the OEM ones on these forums or on eBay or something like that.

Something I would probably do different is get them one size smaller. There is very minimal clearance on the front fender and the rear inside mud/rain guard. In fact, I raised the rear one slight because it was that close.

noted... let us know sometime what one size smaller would be, when you get back home.

Finally got my Bar Clock today but it's too big :-( thought it was the smaller one to fit between the Bar Mounts, so instead i've just used the Face of it and used the 3M Dual Lock to attach it to the Bike instead.

Nope :-)

Oh rats... I was really looking forward to having some fun with the cute jams and pink shirt.

Got my new Grips on yesterday,
the red is slightly off though, which is a shame...
thought they might be more red like on the brake lever,
but anyway, yeah, new Grips.

Throttle side was a nightmare, due to the anodised bit on the grip... it wouldnt go on the throttle properly as it has a sort of plastic lip on the end,
so the rubber would go over easily, but the anodised bit wouldnt, so had to slice the lip bit off....
but then the throttle plastic has raised lines on it, so when putting the new one on, the rubber on it was just pulling back (not going with the anodised bit)
so you might notice on the throttle one.. the rubber is abit more bunched up around the bar end.

This is very nice control bling, and the fluid warmer is AWESOME!
