All decked out👍🏻
Next month we gunna see a Carefree Chris with a full chest beard, vintage aviator goggles and them goggle tan lines, soft top 👨🦲 with the half curtain hair blowin in the wind, and a lot of miles behind and more in front. Ride on brutha. Ride long~ 🏝☀😎✌🏻
lol right on
Love the accessories but not a fan of zippers as they wear out and can be easily manipulated. All it takes is a pen or a screw driver to puncture through and unzip the side bags. Maybe get a larger rear locking box to accommodate two helmets. (Hind site and arm chair quarterbacking here.. Sorry.) Still a cool rack system. Never thought about a tank bag before. Will enjoy seeing its utilization. Your add ons really make your bike resemble a touring model but still sporty. Congratulations Bro!
Yeah. I'm excited for the versatility now.
Good point on the zippers. Might be replacing them in a year or two I guess.
Yes ordering all this and you will be bancrupt because of the Honda prices! And it is a 12 V outlet not 9 V ....!
Yeah. Wasn't cheap but love the setup.
Hi Chris. Your panniers are cool. One doesn't need any more space than that whilst travelling around in the Philippines in my opinion.
For everyone's benefit:
- Even your summer motorcycle jacket that you use in Europe or America is too thick for the Philippines. I brought mine with me but had to get rid of it because it is just too hot here in PH. If you definitely need protection, best to buy standalone knee and elbow protectors with elastic straps here as they are very cheap. I bought them but never used. I am sure everyone would laugh at me in the traffic if I wore them. No one cares about safe riding here in PH. People ride scooters and even motorcycles with flip-flops.
- Motorcycle boots: You will have difficulty finding your size here if you are bigger than size 10 British or size 12 US.
- Helmets: If you are a little bit big headed like me, you will need size XXL or larger here. Not easy to find but possible in Cebu city.
- Riding: Cebu city and its 20 miles radius is chock-a-block most of the day. Driving or riding is a pain in the neck ! If you are a motor-head, stay away from the Cebu city as it is a terrible place to ride or drive. Other places in the Philippines are fine. I agree with Chris that Philipinnes is a great place for a motorcycle enthusiast. The roads and the traffic are quite challenging at times in PH but that makes it all the more fun.
Yes love it. Thanks for watching and commenting. Ride safe brother.
bro got all the bells and whistles. sheesh
yeah. It’s coming together
Dude, I saw 3 boxes of accessories and I put the video on pause, changed into something comfortable and turned on some Barry White to see you unveil your new kit. Very nice.
lol nice
Nice Chris
Can’t beat OEM accessories
Yeah, they’re not too bad. I might go with Givi or something else down the road, but for now Ilike them.
Congrats for 15K sub's now. 15 thousand hungry minds to feed. Let it roll....
lol right. So fun. Things are growing. Slowly but surely
Nice! Good looking bike, but now equipped for longer trips. How about some auxiliary driving lights to illuminate vehicles that don't have a headlight?
Yeah, that’s something I’m probably going to add down the road is some auxiliary lighting.
Looking good Chris! I have the OEM panniers on my Himalayan, but everything else is aftermarket. I have a Nelson-Rigg tank bag that is like to yours with the clear window. One thing I discovered with a similar Givi bag I used on my RE 350 in Thailand was if I had my phone in the clear section the sun cooked it. I have no idea why they still make that style with the clear window, nobody uses paper maps anymore. You didn't mention it, what's the verdict on your fork seals, are the ok?
That makes sense with the phone. I have a bar mount that i'm using so I'll just probably continue to use that anyway. As far as the fork seals I asked Motology and they're going to order the parts and go ahead and replace them.
Nice, makes it so much easier now. Just going to a store you don't have to use a backpack all the time which can be a PITA.
Very true! I can carry my great with me now. I'm no longer limited
One of the things that stopped me from buying a bike in February was sourcing accessories for it. I also wanted the top box and panniers, and a windshield, since I planned on touring with the bike.
Since then I've met someone who works for a major bike retailer, and he knows how to find the accessories for the Kawasaki Eliminator 450 I've wanted.
He also has some personal bikes in the 400+cc range that he would sell to me for a better price than I can get from a dealer.
We'll see in about 6 weeks, toward the end of the rainy season 🤔🌧
Nice upgrades, Chris 👍
Nice man. Hope the riding goes well for you too
Pimp my Ride Way NICE Chris love the bike
Yes! Good times:)
Auxilliary lights would be a nice addition too😃
Yes exactly
Starting to look like a pizza delivery guy lol
lol right. So much storage on the bike now. Love it
Wow what a difference the panniers make, its wide! How did your service go? Were the fork seals a problem? Thanks for the update, Chris...Jim
Yeah, there’s a problem with that front right for seal which I’m just gonna have the guys over there fix it just so I know it’s done properly.
@@CarefreeChris Good thing you had them check it out!
Hey Chris nice looking bike and all the accessories. What did you guys end up naming the bike?
Still on the fence but I’m still liking Rosebud:)
Nice 👍

Cool upgrades Chris!
Thanks! 👍
How is the shifting on that. Quick shiftet. Smoot?
Super smooth. Easy clutch
@@CarefreeChris nice, i like that bike i was at the Makina Moto Show when it was announced in the Philippines
Hey Criss is there any under seat.
This is not. Scooters have that kind of storage built in but not motorcycles. Scooter with a top-box is so nice in that regard.
looks great bro.
Appreciate it:)
