Aaaand the bike was kicked over last morning.
Renthal bars seems to have held their shape (i get it now), but the front fairing is fecked, knocked at least 1 inch off center. I'll strip the fairings and reshape the flimsy holders I reckon.
Strangely enough all the lights still work, even the shitty $2 imports.
Btw, anyone else experience a huge initial stretch with DID chains? I got the Black gold x-ring and have a 7-8cm slack 200kms after fitting (3cm slack at delivery).
That’s a bit shit. The main bracket near the headlights can bend quite easily, but at the same time can be manipulated back into shape fairly easily as well.
As for the chain, i’ve only ever used D.I.D. and never had any issues, and definitely not slack like you’re talking about.
I’d be inclined to contact the supplier and see what they have to say.

Yeah, a bit shit. Glad I have the renthal bars on though.
Left side bracket is bent (the insex anchor point, if familiar?) and probably some of the other fairing brackets.
Still runs well and keeps me happy though, might just let the cracked plastic be.
You used the DID x-ring or standard o-ring? I'm thinking it's just an initial stretch, since it's not stretched more.

Only ever used X-Ring, they last much longer.
