You will know when I am rollin down the street on the big boy scooter. What do ya'll think about modding the stock horn to an air horn? I did it to my Kymco Xciting.

Here is my Memorial Day Ride. I talk about ways riders show respect to all riders.

Anyone have any recommendations for a stronger grunt sounding exhaust for the 500? I want my bike to be heard.

I can't stress the importance of wearing gear when riding. After only the bike's second day out of storage, I had a close call encounter with a guy on the FDR whose excuse was his blind spot warning did not pick me up. Let's just say after a taste of highway, to get up with just a sore wrist, ripped jacket and pants, and scuffed fairing plastic I'm all good. Drivers look over your shoulder please.

Here are the ones I have.

The handguards are Powermadd sg1 guards. They are around $60 on amazon and ebay. They are technically ATV handguards but I liked them because they are easily detachable because it is not screwed in. Here is al video on them. I cut the foam like it shows in the video so that it would mold over the brake fluid cylinder. Also the thing on my screen is for the ezpass. In the Eastern US it is an electronic toll system.

Really enjoyed your vblogs.  I have been looking for some handguards for my Xciting 500 and I noticed yours.  Where did you find them?  Also I noticed some type of an attachment to your windscreen, what is that for?  I put my scoot away last week and we got 4" of snow today so the season is over until late April.  That happens in Anchorage.

I ride my Xciting 500 pretty conservatively on i95 CT-NY stretch. It is a highside waiting to happen especially in the Westchester and Bronx section prior to the Cross Bronx. The Cross Bronx would be the worst but traffic is usually so backed up that you are not really going fast enough to get into problems because of the physically bad road condition.

I have the 2013 Xciting 500ri. What made you want to go to the 700? What is your comparison of the two?
