Sounds like a nice ride. 8 days to my trip. Seems like an eternity lol. Bike and trailer is ready.

 

Nice install I like the hose covers. I want to do this as well for the ease of getting the filter off and less mess.

 

what is ‘snake skin’?

 

Does new system require a little more oil?

 

Dropped a little, it was a little overfilled from last oil change.
4qts with Oil/filter change leaves it a little high due to residual oil still in the system.

Snake Skin.
Usually used for wire harnesses.
I’ll need to keep an eye on that too as it’s not really designed for “high temps”.
But it’s routed away from hot metal surfaces.
Its not that difficult to remove if it comes to that.



ETA: A Bath, and Blow Dry (leaf blower)

 

Ya, this is our back yard. Out of state, it's a trailer. It will be a toy hauler in a couple years. We already have a trip booked next spring for MT and Bear Tooth pass. Can't wait.

 

If I did it over again, I’d order the Powder Costed Black.
This Raw Aluminum is going to require Never-Dull every time it gets washed.

Put some miles on my trike. Stopped for coffee and one of these contraptions parked next to me. Glad I got out early. Wild fires are popping up in northern Nevada and Cali. By the time I got home my eyes were burning from smoke.

 

I saw one yesterday near the daughter’s house.
Looks the bastard child of a refrigerator and a toaster.
