Jose, with the stock seat some times I get aches in my lower quads. Is that from the width of the seat. Do you think these will resolve that. Fits the stock settings right.

Thx

Also the smaller line runing from the top of the oil tank to the area below the rear cylinder is for venting the oil tank, is it possible that it has become blocked or restricted. I would have to believe that this oil cap problem was "created" by some recent work to the motorcycle. As for your brake problem I'm at a loss. Please keep us updated about your progress geting these problems resolved. That's quite a kick in the *** to have paid dealer prices for service and then have trouble, but they are human too and can make mistakes. A good dealer will take care of you and do their best to get the problem resolved. If they come back and say you need a bunch of expensive work GET A SECOND OPINION, good luck and sorry to hear about your troubles.

Thanks still waiting to hear, outside the service they did install a tank lift on the bike. I went with the 2" and really like it but now and not to keen on only getting less than 200 per tank. I'll let you know on the brake as soon as I find out.

All the other indicator lights on the panel like the turn signals, oil, ect still work so I'm guessing the power and ground to the panel is fine. I guess it's pretty much narrowed down to the high beam portion of the panel itself. Hopefully it won't take the dealer too long to get the part in and fix it. I'll give them a call tomorrow and see what they have to say. Who knows maybe they'll accidentally have the part on the shelf.

Can anyone confirm the wheel bearing size for the rear wheel. Is it 25mm like the front?

Had UltraCool oil cooler installed today. Thought I'd post these as I didn't find any pics before I decided to get one. If I missed finding ones already posted... Well, it doesn't hurt to see more pics...
