Project Msfitoy CT125...

BTW, do you all leave this sticker on the engine?

Bold of you to assume I had that sticker in the first place? **checks bike** Front left of the bike right, left crank case cover? I have nothing there.

This is a photo of my bike at the dealership on 2/12/2022 with 1 mile on the odometer. No sticker.

Diablo seat arrived! While waiting for delivery, I designed a headlamp guard...also installed a very loud "car like" horn...

Got this idea from Bike and Beards while they were testing out useless Amazon bike stuff...this alarm is not totally useless if you lock your bike and can serve as a deterrence...I've got it in a spot that looks like some part of the Honda (right rear) lol...the controller is mounted under the seat...

How does it work, does the alarm sound if the bike tilts?

Yes it does work...the first bump it let's you know with a short BURP! The next move, it starts screaming...it's not extremely loud but people will notice the thief struggling with the bike...maybe maybe someone might ask "you need help putting that in your pickup bed?"

Pretty much what the disc alarms do, but you can’t roll the bike..

Pretty much...except I just push a button to arm.disarm...the steering is also locked so can't roll either...

I see you started out with a Rotopax gas can and switched to a 2L bottle..... Maybe I missed it but what bracket are you using to hold your 2L gas bottle? Did you make it or purchase it? Also where did you purchase your USB charger? Looks like it is a perfect fit on the OEM bracket? I am just starting to make my list of accessories / mods I want to add to my bike.. Needless to say there are tons of good ideas on this forum. thanks!

That’s what a skateboard is for.

Thanks...I found a standard square bracket at a farm supply used for door reinforcement...it was already black and fit pretty much as it was...albeit it didn't slant backwards so I flipped the bottle with the cap to the rear...the USB is a standard Amazon item but you'll still have to dremel out the opening on the bracket by a few thousandth...I used a carbide bit took all but 30 seconds...

I will pay $100 to see someone kickflip a Trail 125.

Or did he mean put the front wheel on a skateboard to wheel away??

Oh that makes WAY more sense. I thought they were just doing tiny circles on a skateboard, like standing on the skateboard. They do have some products (like the one that you park the bike on), and there's always the spinny kickstand trick, although I know you shouldn't do that on all bikes... some are too heavy and the kickstand snaps if you do it.

AZ for the win. Place it on top and move it to the van or truck.
