Adam490's 1000R Live Valve Build and Shenanigans

[Adam490]

I had a 2021 1000R on order with the local dealer that I purchased my Pioneer and Foreman Rubicon from, but Honda kept pushing the release date back. I put my deposit down in early October with a 10/28 ship date but that turned into 11/29, then 12/28, and finally 1/29 before I just got a refund on my deposit. Picked up a Live Valve R from Ramey Motor Powersports in MS on New Year's Eve 😁

That honda bumper is not much. Mine bent for nothing. Thin wall tube.

Yeah, I knew what I was getting into since the Pioneer bumper tubing is the same junk. It's definitely not a "bumper", more of a hood ornament.

Yeah, I figured I better get them in there before @TripleB wants to drive it and dumps it over
