Trek Rail upgrades, what have you done?

[irie]

Here is a Zeb 170 from a Slash when I installed it on my Rail 5 - yes it works, but I hate the look

Pike Ultimate on my wife's Rail 5 and Zeb Ultimate on my Rail 5 look exactly the same.

There's a really cheap fix for that: Don't look at it.

LOL!..."Don't look at it". I guess I'm in that camp and never really notice it as an issue. I can appreciate that it bothers some, but I look at my MTB's/EMTB's like I look at my dirt motors. They get good service, and they get cleaned when off road conditions like mud and such are encountered, but I don't stress over their appearance as much as I do my street motorcycle. But, people are different, and I get that.

I put 38s on my rails. I briefly thought about asthetics, but function over form.

Friend speaks my mind. My KTM is usually pretty dirty, but I try to keep my H2 clean despite it wanting to spew oil everywhere.

Wait a minute...expand on your mention of an H2...which one?

1975 two-stroke triple 750, the widow maker......

LOL!...that's what I was wondering. I had the sky blue '72 model as my second motorcycle and later the brown/gold '74 model. I worked part time at a motorcycle shop...spent all my extra money there.

Edit to add: come to think of it I still do...except now it's on MTB's/EMTB's and still motorcycles...and the part time is at a bike shop. It's a disease.

Hello, nice upgrades, and the NLS speedi definitely works on a gen 4?

Yes Speedi definitely works on the Gen 4. It's great with the new Bosch interface which doesn't have any speed display. (speed reading would be out).
