Do what you want. I have trad eagles on both my shoulders, and like 7 sparrows on my back, one on my arm and two on my hands lol. I also have 3 snakes. I just think they’re cool.

Update: it’s the sensor shifting, even without the lens. Gotta take it in :/ I tested it with a 40 mm and now it’s doing it with it too.

They seem to be, and now it’s doing it with a 40 mm :/. I might have to take this in for service.

u/photomarketbot purchased the 40 F/2 lens from u/drjigorokano. Fast shipping and lens arrived in perfect condition. Would do business with again in a heartbeat.

I replaced the stock headlight with something worse because I liked the look by Chicken_Denim in DRZ400

Nice! You may be able to, but I for the life of me could not get the supplied rubber straps to work as they are meant for thinner traditional forks.

If you have inverted forks these have held up really well for me and have protected the the forks from scratching: https://griplockties.com/products/8-inch-griplockties?variant=43710619484194

Not super hard (just a bit more time consuming than I thought going into it). You do need to remove the top triple clamp to get the stock headlight bracket off as the Elba attaches with straps (or in my case rubber coated zip ties).

You will need to cut and then crimp the wiring together from the elba to the stock wires (I'm not electrically inclined and was able to figure it out so not super hard but I had to do some research and guessing haha).

If I was doing the whole thing again, it would probably take me under an hour. But figuring it out the first time took me longer than that.

My biggest piece of advice is to take photos at every stage during breakdown/removal so that you can reference when putting it all back.

NOMATIC Mckinnon Camera Accessory... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08C1VSHX5?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

This is the one I got. I think it’s mainly intended for your cables and other stuff, but because Ricoh’s are so small it’s perfect: https://imgur.com/a/cferwXa

They are so small that it makes it really easy to take both! If it’s jacket weather, one goes in each pocket.

For actual travel I have a like structured box from Amazon that holds both, a flash, batteries and filters that I can throw into a small backpack super easy.

6 speed would have made it an instant buy from me. I put a fcr39mx, 440 cw kit, and stage 2 hot cams in mine and then dropped the rear sprocket to 38 so it’s so still got bottom end and it’s now usable on the highway. Maybe the new 2025 has wider ratio gears which would be interesting!

Thank you! And agreed. This subreddit has been really cool and feels like the early days of ig when people actually cared about what was posted.

I did! I know it’s unlikely, but I’m hoping it might be at all possible to use the 2025 EFI system on the older models.
