Title: Versys X 300
Post by: catang5oh on December 04, 2017, 07:05:23 PM
So the wife got the bike bug again.

She picked up a 17 Kawi Versys X 300 for herself.

Now to add on to the garage, too many bikes!

So, now the farkles begin.

First up was the ram mount of course, lady had to have her phone. And in the background I added a dual USB with volt meter ( GREEN LED) of course( cause that keeps her happy).

I also dropped a plug for battery tender/ heated gear out from under the seat.

Next up will be LED aux lights and a GIVI Outback trunk.

That is a really good looking bike. Curious what is her intended ratio of street/dirt and why that bike?

Mostly street for her, maybe some light fire roads etc...

She loved both her Ninjas, went and sat on the new one and hated the seating arrangement. She came across this thing and went to Talladega and sat on it, well that sold her. She texted it to me at work and I asked what it was, I had no idea it existed till then.

Oh, and it had the most important aspect for her, it was Green!

Givi Trekker Outback 42l trunk and lock plate for the 300X. Wife didn't like the Kawi Givi bubble trunk, so I picked this up for Xmas present.

Sure does make buying Xmas for her a lot easier when she wants bike parts!
