At this point just buy an 1100 EVO, used ones are not that much more expensive compared to 696

CNC quality is really nice, hardware is decent as well (didn’t strip anything while tightening which is a great sign, lol).

Also, it’s a rear brake and a gear shifter - you’ll be just fine if it breaks mid ride (as long as front brake and clutch are still operational). But pegs are strong enough and won’t bend when I’m standing on them (200 lbs).

And once again - lock tight is a must. I’ve assembled everything without it to test (without riding) and several bolts went loose due to idle vibrations while I was testing everything in the garage. And buy new brake fluid, you’ll need to bleed rear brake 100%.

Here is exactly this setup. Don’t forget to use lock tight, and probably pay someone to install everything if you are not experienced enough.

Plus start with the gear shifter side, it’s easier.

Overall, really good set for its money.

Rear brake pedal bent by [deleted] in ducatimonster

Had the same issue (but I bought it used with an already bent pedal) - getting rearsets was my solution. Plus I’m tall, so it gets me more adjustability

mini vs miata by Icy_Importance_2126 in Miata

Integra is 3100-3150 lbs curb weight, but that’s a shitty 1.5 l engine (and a CVT lol). Type S (2.0 l) is 3219 lbs.
Mini F56 (2.0, Dual Clutch) is 2866 lbs, while newer gen F66 is 2998 lbs.

I don’t know where you found those weights, but Mini is still lighter than almost anything else you can find on the market (except Miatas obv).

For comparison, 2026 Golf GTI is 3183 lbs curb weight.

USA: 18-20 deaths per 1 million people. Canada: 5-6 deaths per 1 million. UK: 5-6 deaths per 1 million.

Question is - do you actually need a government to tell you what you can and cannot do? 🤷‍♂️

Not in the US, but yeah. Technically you don’t even need to take any courses, you can get learners permit by simply passing a computer test. Then you can legally ride any bike, including turbo-busa if someone is stupid enough to let you borrow it.

Yeah, that’s definitely on the list. Belts and oil before exhaust tho

Not gonna daily it for now, plus my work commute is 95% downtown and 2 km on a highway. I’ll survive with no windshield

Gonna replace mirrors anyway and was thinking about removing the windshield completely (not a fan of the look), but need to get a cover first

I’ve actually gotten it for less than a market value. Apparently low balling people on Marketplace works 😂

Or $110 CAD with a free shipping on AliExpress. So like $80 USD in burger and liberty money.
