Headlight grill cover on my 26 125th Bobber

I've always felt like headlight grills are a mean look. I was able to find a cover that I could retrofit over the headlight as I don't think anyone makes these for 25-26 Bobbers and the 18-24s are a different size. If I'm incorrect anybody making these to spec, let me know.

I think I'm in love. Again.

Next on the list is the smoked turn signals.

2022 Scout Bobber Quick Release Faring / Windscreen / Windshield Options

Hey all

Trying to find a good faring, windshield, and/or windscreen for my 2022 Scout Bobber ABS. This one is ridden by my partner who is about 5'6". It has been a bit tricky to pin down good quick release options. Coming to the community to see if anyone has recommendations.

I'm actually quite interested in the Memphis Shields 'Universal' Hell Cat shield, but I reached out to their CS and they essentially said it doesn't officially fit this bike, but they actually don't know if it does. So if anyone has one of these on their 18-24 with stock bars, definitely let me know. (I might roll the dice to buy and try).

Ideally looking for:

  • Smoke, gray, or black in color.
  • Tall / wide enough it can largely stop buffeting / wind resistance and pushing it to the helmet going up to 65 MPH.
  • Quick release or easy to remove

2016 Yamaha Bolt - ways to improve handling

My partner has a new to her 2016 Yamaha Bolt R-Spec. It's a perfect fit for her which is why we got it, but we both agree this thing handles like a tank. She'd like to improve the handling. I've done a lot of modding on my bikes, but this isn't an area of expertise for me.

What can we do to this thing to better improve the handling and make it feel less tank-y?

It currently has an H-bar on it, and I'm wondering if a lower rise straight bar might help.

My first ever Indian. I'm head over heels

Head over heels is a bad situation to be in on a motorcycle, but you get my meaning.

Saw the 125th anniversary edition in person and it was love at first sight. I couldn't get it out of my head for months, missed my chance to get one, then got very lucky when I "got the call" for this one.

I was able to snag #24. I need a name for her.

Grip recommendations for a 2016 Yamaha Bolt R-Spec

Previous owner put on Avon Metric Cruiser grips and while I know these are highly recommended, I have a few issues with them, and I'm looking for a thinner alternative.

The Puig Hi-Tech ascent grips seem like a great option that are a bit more thin, but I can't quite confirm beyond a shadow of a doubt these will fit, and they come in two lengths 119mm and 123mm. I'm unsure of which size is the right one.

Questions:

  • Anyone have the Puig Hi-Techs on a bolt and can confirm fitment?
  • Any alternative recommendations?

Big empty parking lots in South/Southwest Federal Way

My partner and I are getting back into motorcycling and want a safe place to be able to practice skills off the streets. Going to a track every time we want to practice is just not practical.

Are there any large and empty parking lots, ideally in the South or Southwest Federal Way area that could potentially be used for this purpose?

I'm thinking maybe the old Walmart lot, park and rides, church lots, etc.
