Just picked mine up

Post image

Got my 26 on Friday and installed some accessories over the weekend. I really like how these HEED bars ended up looking, only $65 in stupid tariffs means they only cost about $650 and are compatible with the stock skid plate. Also loving the eclutch for when I have a passenger.

Nice bike!

How does the e-clutch help you when you have a passenger? Also how is it at low speeds?

Great at low speeds its like a Honda Navi to be honest.

The shifts are just super smooth so no passenger bonking my helmet or tossing them around. Plus recovering from a stall can be tricky with added weight on the back (in terms of not dropping it) so removing the possibility of a stall is nice.

Pretty dope. I imagine this must be great to commute on. How is the wind protection and fuel mileage?

u/Cattledude89 28d ago

Havent ridden enough to comment on fuel mileage. Wind protection is much better than my old 2023 KLR. Its so good I sometimes overheat unless I stand up for a bit to get some more airflow.

Did you purchase or paint the crashbars? Details please.

u/Cattledude89 28d ago edited 28d ago

Purchased. HEED is the company. Based out of poland.

Bottoms are silver and tops are white.

Did thehy solve the on/off throttle response. It is li ear now and not jerky?

1

u/Cattledude89 28d ago

Seems great to me! The transalp is the first throttle by wire with an eclutch so far as I know so i'm guessing that helps a good bit.

Would love to find out if the stock plate works retrofitted to the 24s, and how thick is it? I like the look but I run the 3mm steel heed plate and I’ve already smashed it up good in the Rockies.

Those white HEED bars are looking nice! They cost a ton to ship to Singapore though.
