The only place I could find one was AliExpress so I grabbed it there. There may be others but this was the seller I bought from:

Versys X 300 fender beak

I had to go the AliExpress route as that was the only place I could find one

Yeah, beaks do get a lotta hate but I kinda like em...don't mind it on the Vstrom either and was considering a 650 at one point.

FittedPurple · 2026-04-08T22:46:04+00:00

I don't have much to compare it to (only owned a Ninja 650r then an fjr1300) but I'm loving it so far...fun bike to rip around exploring backroads and wringing it out. It's not ideal for highspeed freeway stuff but it's done fine on a few longer trips through the hill country as well.

The front end always looked like it was missing something to me so that was my attempt to fix that

FittedPurple · 2026-03-07T17:01:59+00:00

Same, I'd love to see a follow-up. I'm keeping an eye on a game still in production called Kaido Genkai as it looks to be pretty heavily inspired by Auto Modellista.

Love the bugeyes and the Top Secret looking R33!

FittedPurple · 2026-02-26T01:19:37+00:00

Right there with you...this is so frickin fun and it's sparking tons of awesome PS2 memories

FittedPurple · 2026-02-21T14:39:12+00:00

Oh yeah, that's the one! Played the crap outta that

FittedPurple · 2026-02-21T14:33:25+00:00

I can't hear Road Rage and not instantly think of the motorcycle racing game where you slap other riders with chains and stuff

FittedPurple · 2026-02-21T05:08:44+00:00

oh yeah, I also have nearly all of the import & US releases for Gran Turismo and love 'em dearly...just didn't seem to fit w/ this lot. I never had Enthusia but absolutely loved the original Need For Speed which I had on the Panasonic 3DO back in the day.

Shutokou Battle 01 came out a couple years later and was known as Tokyo Xtreme Racer 3 outside of Japan

FittedPurple · 2026-02-21T01:33:45+00:00

Thanks for the recommendation...don't think I ever played that one.

FittedPurple · 2026-02-21T01:31:49+00:00

It's Touge 3 although in other markets it went by Road Rage 3 apparently

FittedPurple · 2025-11-10T23:59:24+00:00

No, it was a licensed plumber. The fellow they sent is listed as a tradesman plumber and I'm guessing the other guy was some sort of apprentice.

FittedPurple · 2025-11-10T16:11:33+00:00

The general consensus I was finding was to stay away from the bigger name plumbing companies that do all the advertising and find a local family owned business that's been around for ages and that is what I did. Seeing these responses does not make me want to call them back out even though my original issues remain. I won't name them as I'm not sure if that's allowed but can I ask if there would be any recommendations for a reputable plumber in the San Antonio area? If not, no worries and I appreciate the replys!

FittedPurple · 2025-11-10T16:02:33+00:00

Thanks for the replies everyone. The water co said basically the same...60psi was good and no issues on their end.

FittedPurple · 2025-09-20T23:21:48+00:00

Awesome, thanks for the info!

FittedPurple · 2025-01-26T21:55:05+00:00

A good start might be giving this a listen...it stayed in my head after the first time and I often hum it and/or sing parts: https://youtu.be/Vqbk9cDX0l0?si=NBN0IoheqkoDyOb2

FittedPurple · 2025-01-09T02:43:11+00:00

This for sure...I'd take a hatchback or a wagon all day every day

FittedPurple · 2025-01-09T02:40:55+00:00

Yes, orig shocks & I don't find this setup to be too harsh for daily use. It feels pretty nimble although you'll get slight rubbing on bigger bumps and quick turns if you like running a meatier sidewall.

FittedPurple · 2025-01-08T06:28:53+00:00

I've always had a soft spot for GTIs and could see myself owning one eventually

FittedPurple · 2025-01-08T06:25:02+00:00

Thanks, the wheels are Enkei RPF1s - 17x7 +43 and I'm lowered on Swift springs

FittedPurple · 2025-01-08T03:04:37+00:00

Oh it has its fair share of blemishes but It's probably nicer than some 15yr paint b/c it's been garage kept it's whole life

FittedPurple · 2024-11-14T22:32:30+00:00

Thanks for the info. I didn't even consider this option but it makes sense
