I looked at my (stock) air filter today. It looks almost new. And there is no oil from the breathers at the bottom of the filter. Not bad for 10K miles!

In other news:

Adjusting the clutch with that new split adjuster thing is crazy easy. Whoever designed that was a genius!
You can use chrome derby cover bolts for the air cleaner cover. They are the same size.

For those asking for pics of the Mustang seats a few weeks back. Here's their 16" Touring Solo and Passenger pillion... Just got back from a 600 mile trip on it and didn't have to reposition my backside once. Amazing seat. You sit about 1" lower and farther back than with the stocker.

Two home made brackets to mount the plate and a Custom Dynamics quad light frame.

I was asking and went ahead and ordered it because they are on backorder already. Looks awesome! I was worried the seat would hang over too much but it doesn’t. Thanks for the pics.

Default Weird Noise?

I’ve done 650 Miles now, and I’m hearing a weird noise from the front of the bike (it seems to be the front anyway).

Its a sort of tinny, rasping sound which is there intermittently on acceleration and deceleration. The best way I can describe it is like spinning the wheel of a skateboard, hearing the bearings move.

Has anyone come across anything like that?
