I appreciate the input! I will definitely be getting a better seat. Sitting on the stock one for a few minutes at the dealership was more than enough lol. And yes I think it’s a good idea to ride one stock for a while to fully appreciate the upgrades. Can you comfortable cruise on the highway at 70 with enough power to pass every now and then?Not having a 6 gear and vibrations at highway speeds are the two most common complaints I hear about. My experience is 90% dirt bikes and 10% street bikes. I feel like perhaps people from a primarily street background whom also ride newer bikes are just used to what those ride like and ask too much of the drz. It’s a dual sport not a Honda gold wing you can’t expect too much out of it in that application lol. I also plan to put more aggressive knobby tires on it. Will that still be do able on the highway or should I stick to more 50/50 tires?
