There's no question as to the pedigree of dymag, but this collaboration makes me laugh considering RSD's lineage, not to mention geography/logistics. Seems like it would be easier to design/build these 20 miles down the road at PM, rather than half a world away.

Grab them with a pair of vice grips. Looks like you are buying a new battery cover anyway, since there's chunks of it underneath those bolts. -Mike

Pretty much any tire for the 19 will last longer than the stock tires, lol

I guess it probably doesn't matter much, but there should be no movement between the axle and the bearing, so i don't understand why you'd grease it. Grease is used for lubrication/wear, anti-seize for dealing with galling or corrosion. It seems to me that grease would do a better job of...

Don't tell me you are greasing your axles are you? Anti-seize yes, grease no.

The oil cooler already has a cover and some mesh aftermarket examples are available if you think it's not enough. The plastic cover that goes over the battery is pretty damn strong, but I guess you could replace it with a CF cover from thomas kopp if you really feel you need something stronger...

Or, you know, get a SDGT and tour just as much, with just as much of you and your wife's crap, on a bike that weighs (almost) half as much. Riding 600 miles pushing around an 800+ lb bike is harder on my body then doing 900 miles on a 500 lb'er.

I'm at 30k miles without so much as a hiccup

Also where the chin spoiler mounts...

What slave cylinder?

Except it's not 110ml, you were within a litre or so of being empty. Basically the amount lots of folks carry for backup (good for around 10-15 miles). Tank capacity is a fixed amount and the tank isn't different sized for the US vs international market. I've run out of gas at 95 miles and also...

Math is math.... the point is that it's not truly a 13L tank, it's actually more than 14L. Here is one I recently snapped a picture of, that's 14L, the tank wasn't empty and i didn't have any burp out of the vent. Facts are facts

Thats 3.4 gallons, I've put in 3.7 and some change before. Thats was without running out of gas. You had plenty left. I put in nearly that much every day just for my round trip commute.

Yeah, as Charlie shows, the vent it already there. Another owner actually hooked a vacuum pump to the tank, when his bike was down, and the tank didn't fill any faster. I believe he found that there are 2 very small channels just inside the filer neck that allow fuel to pass into the tank and...
