Official 6,000 Mile Review:
 
It's still f'ing fantastic!
 
There have been quite a few modifications that have been done in it's 6k life - I'd love to do a video reviewing them, at least some of the more major ones. Some have been better than others, but I'm overall satisfied with them and am looking forward to a lot more miles with them. The bike and most of the upgrades have handled the 20 or so drops that I've done really well (except the beat up swingarm, but it's not bent).
 
The customization has been a lot of fun. The T7 is really great because it's an inexpensive ADV platform with a superb engine, and it lends itself well to make it what you want most out of your bike.
 
It reminds me of Tim "The Toolman" Taylor working on every little nook and cranny of his hot rods to make it his own.

Well done, lots of practical mods there eddy.  Are those rubberized grips on the sides of the tank?  I put the oem ones on my factory tank and they are pretty useless

Negative, no rubberized grips - that's just the side of the Acerbis with some streaks on it 🙂
