Great to see you finally got the video up! I'm the one that followed your Molle panel idea but used solid aluminum panels off eBay. Yikes at that 2.2lb weight limit though! That's basically like 1 flask of water (I carry a 40oz flask when I work on a food truck so that's already at the weight limit). I think Honda gives it that limit to avoid the sagging issue so it doesn't bend in to the tire, which you addressed by mentioning adding a crossbar. Price wise I think we're at about the same as the panels I got are $59.98 for a pair of panels and the Sedici bag (10L) I put on is $47.99 and the water bottle holder I got holds up to a 52oz water bottle and is like $11. I don't know if you saw but a company called Ganesha also released their own kit for an adventure style Grom (it was shown on a Grom showcase video on youtube). Any thoughts on the spoked rims that you can get?

Yeah that 1kg limit is a real buzzkill if you take Hondas word on it.. Cross bar should be pretty easy to put in place and make here in the next couple weeks. I have Ganesha's body kit bookmarked from a while ago ($1500 :O ) but hadn't seen their spoked wheel sets. $582 for a set without tires is actually less than I expected them to be. 99% won't get them, but they're cool!

Hi Spencer. The Honda bags look pretty neat and you seem to have accommodated the hi exhaust successfully without spoiling the looks. Underneath the bike there are some hidden bolt holes that ppl attach rear stunt frames. Perhaps some diagonals from here to the bottom of the frames would solve the weight/sag issues. I'm new to Grom ownership. Does the gear shaft support really improve the notchy gear change. These are brilliant old men's bikes. Loving it.

Good idea on the undermount points. I'll give them a look. So far they're supporting the weight better than I expected so I'm not sure if it'll even be necessary, but probably good insurance to do anyway. The shift shaft support combined with replacing the lever to a direct shifter instead of a linkage shifter definitely helped with the feel and notchiness. I will add though, it did NOT help with finding neutral and actually made it a bit worse, since it shortens the throw going into neutral and made it more finicky. Hope that helps, thanks for watching!

@@SpencerDesmarais hi Spencer, just an update. I have ordered a gear shaft support but in the meantime I have replaced the shifter linkage with a precision ball joint linkage. I now have a 90% improvement in shifting including finding neutral. I'm sure the partsa are available anywhere but I bought a linkage for an Enfield Hunter from ebay. I only used the end fittings and screwed them together with an inch of 6mm stud. Had to file one fitting so they screwed up tight in alignment. I am well pleased

Great video as always! I recently got the T-Rex Givi setup and have them mounted with the H2C Rack. Really like that setup. They do have the cross bar so that probably increases their weight capacity a bit.
