Guest ChicagoAJ Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 I pushed my bike to the nearest garage (30min sweating and swearing) and they fixed it for £38.OUCH... I'm sorry to hear that you dont have a discount tire shop there... they'll patch almost any tire for free... 38 quid is quite the chunk of change, when a new tire costs what... 90-100 quid? Sprocket cover update [HASH]2, I got a refund for the cover and the seller let me keep it. After riveting the plastic cover and buying new (black heat treated) hardware - it's good to go. are those bolts plated/sealed? if not... rust will appearYes, they're plated. Guaranteed rust free or my money back, supposedly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caliesv Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 So what do you in that case? Get a new tire? Plug it? I pushed my bike to the nearest garage (30min sweating and swearing) and they fixed it for £38. I always ride with this stuff: Slime 40001 Motorcycle Tire Inflator https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000ET9SB4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_ajuExb9TK3HQQ Stop & Go 1001 Pocket Tire Plugger with CO2 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001BBSD9C/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_bkuExbA8PMGXN Haven't had to use it yet, but I'm glad it's there if I need it... Or if anyone I'm ridding with needs it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreadykrueger Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Today I installed the evotech radiator guard. What I realized is this version now doesn't have the "EP" embossed on the front. Either way, it looks great. Also have the Denali mini sound bomb done now too 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member sane Posted July 3, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted July 3, 2016 Changed my oil. Unplanned due to my oil cap popping off while I was on a long ride. Didn't notice it was gone until I pulled up for gas and noticed my oil soaked rain suit. Made a plug with a wad of aluminium foil and rode home with a third of the oil I should've had. I took a drive with my daughter to look for the oil cap and actually found it. Really lucky eh? So new oil filter, new oil and a thorough wash put it to rights. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Global Moderator mjh937 Posted July 4, 2016 Global Moderator Share Posted July 4, 2016 @jerryv, that was a stock non-US paint scheme. Here is a link to a list of all the available paint schemes that @Guru put together (with a little help from forum members). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Hagen Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 Not too long ago i ordered a billet coolant reservoir cover from China. I wasn´t happy with the metallic black color so I resprayed it matte so it would match the rest of the black stuff on my bike. The blue inner plate was far from blurple so I wrapped it in carbon film. A successful makeover in my opinion. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreadykrueger Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 love that mini soundbomb... did you mount.it in stock location? Yeah I mounted it in the stock location. It was plug and play but a little bigger than the stock horn. It's a snug fit just beneath the factory side covers of the radiator 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
