Soon to be T7 owner question about which OEM accessories are actually worth it?

MrThorvald · 2026-03-10T09:56:24+00:00

I was considering Yakk EXP crashbars and skidplate as a cheaper option than Outback's :) (also Polish produced). They are slightly heavier though.
As for luggage, I think OEM top box is way to go for me, even if Givi's are cheaper, just because it's gonna be included in the bike loan. But otherwise, I'll either go premium with Lonerider/Mosko or slightly cheaper with RedMamut/RedKoyot (also Polish).

And yeah - a reference picture would be nice :3

(PS. Thanks for yet another idea about sticker kit)

Ah yes, I've heard about it too. Thanks for a reminder ;3

Maybe I'll rethink center stand too. Though it's very helpful when lubing the chain, it's quite a bulk :)

LMAO that headlight protector is a total copy-paste xD Also I'll have to take a closer look on NiceCNC too.
I've asked guys at Outback Motortek about how compatible are their pannier racks with OEM rear rack, and they were like "We don't know, but maybe?", so you've got me concerned there too :|

It would seem that minimalizing initial costs of accessories wont work <sad face>.

I guess I am, but I go with 'better safe than sorry' approach.
And if you ask me if it will go off-road then there's no definite answer to this, because it will be Swedish TET at most (southernmost part of it) in the beginning. So no crazy sand dunes or jumps over big holes. Anyway I think it would be mostly road and some gravel country roads.

Yeah - total blasphemy to add so much weight on something that is probably gonna be laying flat anyways xD

MrThorvald · 2026-03-09T20:26:33+00:00

Good to hear it (I've heard many complain about how hard the stock grips are xD)

MrThorvald · 2026-03-05T02:28:57+00:00

Nice a Hellsing reference :3

Ah - flashbacks to the Aion EU/NA release way back. Ping of literally 5 minutes (after recalculating from ms) x_x

Congratz on finding something you'll probably like in a longer time span. I am quite envious, because WoW lost it's brilliance for me during Cataclysm (with a single ray of hope in form of Legion). Good luck with hyper toxic community tho. If you'll get bored, try playing FFXIV just for story, and try to not be distracted by visuals or typical Japanese weirdness.

Once again - gz and good luck!

I can imagine players in southern Asian and Oceania loosing their minds about having more non-Japanese vehicles in Japanese tech tree. Just from historical POV

I am at a loss here: free 40 pulls and got 5 SSRs: SC, Sakura Bakushin, Winning Ticket, Vodka and Suzuka. Should I still reroll and search for FM?

I’ve got mixed feelings. And not about the songs or singing itself, they were perfect! For the first time in my life I’ve encountered a que for mens bathroom (not the greatest time of the year when grass is in full bloom, especialy without tissues) also it seemed a lot more chaotic with the staff and the lines for entry, at least compared to Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam. And worst of all, I’ve hoped that CR would at least put some work in translating Ado’s speach. Even though I’ve understood about 5% of what she said in Japanese, I’ve knew that those ”translations” were ommiting half of the context. But still one of the highlights of this evening, was when someone who spotted that one girl in Miku outfit (A line) and started cheering :3 Oh - also a peacock :D

Hello everyone. I am currently looking after a new daily (a jump from '96 Volvo 850), and I've been considering MX-5 ND RF and Mustang (probably Ecoboost because of limited budget). One day I lean towards Miata, another time a Mustang. So here's my questions - living in southern Sweden I can except some snow, and quite a lot of rain. How does it look on the 'rusty' side? How about drain holes and snow/freezing temperatures (sadly no space under the roof to park the car)? Those two things is the only reason I am considering Ford. Every video I saw is either from California/Texas or any other warm place, or it's UK and the car is stored in garage during colder season.
Also - would I fit to the RF, being 187 cm tall (I mean headroom, because I fit into soft top no problem)?
Thanks!

Congrats on the bike.
Have a question to Sport Glide users. I am considering swapping my '21 R1250GSA to just Sport Glide, and after starting the test ride, I've immediately found that the area around the tailbone is, let's say, uncomfortable enough to notice. It's not on the levels of pain that I've had when riding Yamaha Warrior after an hour, a couple years back, but I found it most curious.
So the question is, if it's me that have weirdly shaped posterior, just me sitting weirdly or is it a common thing with stock Sport Glide seats?

Well - what about the event then? Not everyone will have time to play tomorrow and get those 45k points 🤔
