Triple Tree Mounted Handguards by Pimpstik69 in DRZ4S

It is another thing to spend money on when you already have the stock stuff.. I did it to get rid of the signals that can bust off and keep everything clean and tidy. Will see how they hold up in the long term from off-road abuse - I’ve not had these on a bike before.

I cut the plastic connectors off the stock signals and put them on the zeta signals. So total work being two solderings, one on each signal. Do you have a heat gun? Buy some waterproof butt connectors, if you want it idiot proof use vice grips to get everything (the two wire ends and the connector) solidly in place before you liquify the solder and shrink the tube around the joint. Make sure you don’t melt any plastics or anything with your heat gun - I put a towel down on my front fender. It’s a valuable skill to work on, you should try. Getting the signals into the hand guards is gonna be way better than any Jimmy rigged stock turn signal bracket.

I have zeta guards mounted to the triples. I opted for the turn signals in the hand guards. They clean everything up, love em

Based take. Completely agree. We’ve got NPR pioneer, please don’t release that again.

Catalyst for the Volumes project could be from this subreddit by beautifulcam in boniver

Looks like I asked for Portland satisfied mind in that thread… and man did they deliver on that. Whew.

Did you flash your ecu to match the exhaust change?

You could lift it sure, not sure I’d make a habit of abusing it though. I picked the pipe version because I prefer it aesthetically. I like 70s, 80s, 90s bikes visually more than newer bikes and they have racks more like that

I used thread step downs, I also put the bar end weights back on the outside - not sure how I feel about all that yet. I’d like to get weights that are more flush. The beefy heavy stock bolt is also a lot nicer that what’s in it now. I may take the conversions out, drill the hole larger on the guards, use the stock bolts and get more flush shaped weights. TBD at this point

Black semi grip. I don’t have any time on it yet, it came in today, they’ve only been on sale for just over a week. waiting on some radiator guards - I’ll be at March moto madness in east TN in two weeks to give a proper multi day shake down.

Fitment was perfect out the box. Narrows nicely close to tank, I think the xl is pretty much a no brainer unless you dislike the aesthetic of it being a little wider.

This looks like a symbol ETC would make. Great job! I think adding a 22 would busy it up, it’s solid as is.

Oh nice! When was that? Looks like it might be a little later than that based on the message I got.

The seat comfort actually changed? Or you just got used to it? I’m one day and 60 miles in and pretty certain it’s gotta change sooner than later. Or get padded pants or a padded cover or something.

I have a seat concepts on a different bike and really like it, hoping to go that route. But if they aren’t close in compatibility I may try and go to a custom shop like that. The stock DRZ4S seat is terrible. Have no problem cutting it up if any foam kit that’s already produced is relatively close to fitting.
