Global Moderator Guru Posted July 10, 2014 Global Moderator Share Posted July 10, 2014 First service was 1000 KM for me (that's 600 miles for you yanks). Next is due at 7000 km (or 4000 miles) or 6 months. The mechanic said to keep an eye on the oil. If it get too dark, just change it sooner. I will do that myself too It's just oil and filter, the rest is checking/adjusting and lubing if necessary. They have oil kits at the dealer with everything in it (even gloves lol). They sell for something like $40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ybcheese Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 boulevard that looks sick, nice work. Do you have a plan for a license plate light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boulevard Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Ya right now I have it slid in between two plastic pieces along with some double stick tape (works but not forever) see pic. I am ordering a bracket that will curve the plate and allow me to mount it on the axle. I will say after finishing the project it wasn't easy. They make it hard to get that thing off. I had to remove both side rear panels to get to the bolts and the cut a custom piece to cover the leftover hole. Looks great but need to get the plate bracket in.

howlinhoss Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 What turn signals do you all recommend to replace thes stock front signals? I was not a fan of them bouncing around during my test ride. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Global Moderator Guru Posted July 13, 2014 Global Moderator Share Posted July 13, 2014 I would probably go with these If I replace my turn signals. Front and back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Global Moderator Guru Posted July 13, 2014 Global Moderator Share Posted July 13, 2014 No, I parked it on the grass at the back of my house. I walked inside, the wind gust made the bike roll forward a bit and I hear a thump. I didn't even see it happen. Luckily no scratches or dents. Just te lever.

Global Moderator Guru Posted July 14, 2014 Global Moderator Share Posted July 14, 2014 I did some serious cleaning. It needed it for sure (I brought it home in the rain) and it is nice to touch the bike everywhere I went strapless too. I used Auto Glym Rapid detailer after washing and drying it. It takes off the water stains etc. and doesn't leave a shiny residu. And is smells nice too. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/33459059/IMG_0936.jpg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
