I suppose that works if you already know how much oil is in that space behind the stock cover. For those of us that didn't, it seemed like an easy solution...

That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

It's a good story!
Mine does the same. Our bikes must be related

I'm gonna stick to your story too

a buddy synced my carbs, did valve adjustments (4500kms) and bypassed clutch and kickstand switches.

I switched back to road tires after riding Hatfield McCoy trails for three days. Man I love this beast.

Judging by the oil under your cover.. and not under mine.. I think my oil jet might need cleaning

Ed, if you're talking about my cover, then that would be funny because I was wondering the same thing: Is my oil flowing rapidly enough?

Finally got a pic with racks on. Canceled Touratech light guard as it was taking too long. After getting pelted on the gravel I decided to get the Hepco and Becker model which has already shipped with my rotopax cans (which I need to figure a way to mount. )

Looks good BK - any bets on how long you'll be able to last until you order the panniers?

Hochtouren · 04-24-2012, 10:06 PM

Installed Farkle #2: Rox 1 3/4 risers
Installed Farkle #3: CJ bar clamp in awesome anodized orange (btw, recieved your excellent plug wrench - nice work CJ).

Then, installed Farkle #4: Pelican 1400

Guess that means you're back. Looks good. Lemme know if you need a second opinion on the CJ wrench. Haha!

You do the crashing, I'll do the fixing

Last night I installed the Black Dog skid plate and side stand relocator and today I'm ordering the crash guards and the part to relocate the right mirror. Just about ready to let the girl dig her toes into the dirt.

euro light and hid lights - sorted out that mess. seems i am retarded.
waterproofing around seal of headlight as best I can - gonna try again soon. should have read the guide online.
euro switch - easy peezy japanese-zy
aluminum radiator guard - easy, if you call using a block of wood and a rubber mallet 'easy'
second radiator fan- tired of the bike getting so hot. trying this rather than a lower thermostat as the thermostat from ktmtwins is on back order till the apocalypse. Fittings on the electrical components were not right so i fucking forced them in. the hole for the mount was also really tight. i conscripted mr woodblock and his brother mr.rubber sledge to aid in this too. took forever.
unifilter and washable filter for the box - I think I am going to take the uni off and just get a sock for the snorkel though...

and finally...
locked my keys under the seat by accident
