And also for a reasonable answer....
Dan, I have no specific plans for the suspension (I'm assuming you want to know if I'm raising it some), though I'm not opposed to seeing if I can get a total of 1" front and rear. Any more than that though and I'm afraid I'd be veering too far off course from what the Grom was designed. If I wanted a hardcore mini supermoto I would have bought a CRF or chinese clone and installed a 180cc kit on it. This project is more about modifying the amazing Grom to look the part for the way I ride it. I ride the Grom just like a mini supermoto. Nothing extreme offroad, but just tearing it up wherever I go with some minor offroading. Hence why I chose supermoto styling... it just fits. That's what I think a 1" raise might be appropriate, but any more sounds like too much to me.
GromGuy,
Total cost I would guess at under $100. If you buy a Trailtech X2 headlight for $70, a CRF70 fender for $10-15, and some miscellaneous hardware and paint... You could probably finish this project up under $100. I'll do my best to document everything well enough that others can follow my lead. I chose the CRF70 fender as the size was near perfect for the Grom. Big supermoto fenders are way too large and far more expensive. Any smaller and it would look too small. The only reason we can't bolt a fender onto a stock Grom is because the headlight hangs about 2" too low. Using almost any aftermarket headlight and you should be able to mount a fender. I'm using a KTM 625 SMC headlight because I had one in my garage, so it's pretty much free. If I had an unlimited budget I would get the Trailtech X2. I had one on my old KTM (hence why I have a free KTM headlight) and that thing put out some serious light. I was extremely pleased with it especially given the $70 price brand new.
