so might go with them this time around too.
I have Bitubo cartridges in the front, and they are good. Haven’t adjusted them yet, just trying to get a feel for the bike with the new setup first.
I was interested in the cartridge kit, but couldn't get a ton of info or reviews on them so I went with Pro Action. Another good value for the performance, but may look harder into Bitubos for the front in the future.

ness mids.
klockwerks front fender
FM riot pipe (need to quiet it down somehow)
ness rotors
speedkings bars
baja fog lights…
etc but you get the idea. Fun bike. I have a track day in a few days for some real testing.

I like the epoxy flooring and would do it again. I had it done a year ago and haven't had any problem with chipping, but I do use kickstand pucks for both bikes.

I haven't had a problem with it being slippery, it's naturally a gritty surface.

those midslook pretty sweet. Same with fog lights.

At that price though I'm hesitant to get those mids in case I didn't like them. I'll add to my "to do" list anyway

question for those of you that raised they bagger by 1" or 2" (front and rear): apart from the increased ground clearance, have you noticed any improvements or negative impact on the overall handling of the bike? Any reasons why you would advise not to go this route? Many thanks!

Really I haven't felt any negatives. Sometimes I feel like I'm leaning too much, like to the point where I'm waiting for the scrape but it never comes. That took (and still takes) some getting used it. I'll also say the bike feels easier to turn in. Maybe there are some negatives that I haven't discovered but I've ridden MX for 20+ years, had a DRZ on the street so all my sport bikes and Harley's feel low.
