Plans / Wishlist

Bike is pretty much perfect in every sense, there're only 2 minor things I'd like to have:
1. E-clutch, can't install it and don't want to switch to 2024+ model because new looks is just not to my taste;
2. Might be weird but I think bike would look even better if the wheelbase was about 30-40mm longer:) It's a tiny change that would be hard to notice but to my eye this makes a perfect proportion. Search for rear swingarm extensions didn't show anything useful, the only thing available is a ridiculously long 6-9 inch adjustable extender.

Comments

I didn't try e-clutch, mostly relying on reviews that describe it as an additional feature which still allows to use manual clutch. Just like with quick shifter, I maybe use it 5% of the time but it's a cool thing to have.

Alright. If not anything else, if you have a chance to test drive one do it. It's a strange sensation to drive without the clutch, even when you stop at the lights. -- The e-clutch was better than I was expecting but, I'd still choose the normal one. :)

Also agree on the looks, the "pre-facelift" looks better than the 24->
 
Tank pads are some noname from aliexpress, I typed "cb650r tankpads" in the search bar and these were one of the highest rated options, paid 14$:)
