Paint

Just wanted to share something I found out today. I have an 02 Gold Reflex that I like to keep looking as sharp as possible. It has a couple of small scratches that probably no one else would notice but they bug the heck out of me. After searching on line I found that ColoRite had my paint, Y170M Cyber Gold Metallic, $15 for a touch up tube. I hadn't ordered it yet and was glad I didn't, was in Advanced Auto today and discovered they had Dupli-Color HA 00983 Naples Gold Metallic YR524M for half the price and it appears to be an exact match!

I put a little foam padding between my (detachable) givi E52 trunk and its mounting plate to eliminate some 'play'.

Cycle Gear mounts mine for $30. They didn't even flinch when I brought in an auto radial. They've seen enough HD and others doing the same thing. Besides, after-market guys tend to be more flexible than dealers who have to worry about their franchise image.
No, darn it, I haven't put up those extra tires yet. Thanks for the reminder.
3rd Annual Slayride at the Tail of the Dragon next week will be the first one on this tire.

Re: Battery life?

I think your dealer was thinking about how to get his hand in your pocket.

I think my dealer was thinking of the way I ride. You see when the snow and
ice get off the roads around April or so I start riding my Reflex
consistantly never riding in my car at all. I ride rain or shine and a lot
of times I make long distant rides, so I think my dealer didn't want me 500
mile from home and have my battery die.

You should trickle-charge it every three to six months to prevent complete
self-discharge.

having problems?
