update one and a half year later.. :D

Decided to have Honda change my rear fender after more than a year of using a half fender :lol:

all the mud is going straight to my givi box so i had enough and decided to let Honda change it..

what shock me is how difficult it is to change a simple rear fender on a PCX.

it took more than an hour :o

need to take off the entire rear cover..why Honda, why? :roll:

The Forza 300 looks awesome personally. anyway, i went home happy with a now fixed rear fender..

all is good, except with that small nagging itch of considering a Forza..

Vololights now sells a module that will Mount under the seat and give you the full vololights feature to your brake lights. I think you have to contact them to buy it. I just moved my Vololight from my PCX to my XMax, three years later, it still works perfect. The trick is setting the calibration to "sports touring", not the default that it is set at , when you buy it.

I have taken my bike apart so many times now that I automatically go to the back and start taking stuff off if I want to do anything to the bike. I have accepted the fact that when they put it together in the first place the engineers had tried to make it easy for the assembly line, not the mechanic who has to work on it afterwards.

That vololights looks awesome. Though my Thai plate won't fit in their plate holder..

It actually looks easy as the guy is stripping the covers off my bike, but I don't think i have the patience for it..and maybe I might not be able to put it back all at one piece :?
