The Honda Grom is a very capable bike in the canyons. With a good rider, it can keep up or take out most big bikes. That being said, a full race leather suit is a must for canyon and track days.
My new Alpinestars GP-Pro Suit. Ordering a suit can be difficult if it’s your first time. You can call up Alpinestars or whichever brand you like and they can help you get the right size for you. You can also order Alpinestars gear from Drowsports if you know your size.
Having a gear bag can help you keep track of your stuff and reduce the chance of forgetting or losing items.
Fresh new Over Racing Swing Arm straight from Japan. This swing arm has a 5cm extension and is about 3lbs lighter than stock.
Huntington Beach Honda Isle of Grom Event
Initially, I only brought out our Grom to display in our booth but after some peer pressure, I decided to compete in the event. This was my first time really pushing the Grom since I broke my collarbone. I felt pretty rusty riding and had to get used to the bike again, but I was hooked and couldn't wait to take my Grom out to a real track. It’s time to set up my Grom for track duty.
G-Craft Shift Support to ensure precise shifting.
Before I just start throwing on new parts, I wanted to see how well the bike handles on track the way it sits. I took the Grom to Willow Springs International Raceway, Kart Track (WSIR-K) for testing.
After some testing, I felt the bike handled pretty well, but it’s hard to compare without another Grom on track. Now I need to prep the bike for track duty.
Is there anything else you would like to adjust or add?
