with all the problems M8 brings, just get a TS111 (or TS116) and go ride.

I was reading an M8 thread about transfer problems and a question box popped up so I glibly posed the question. I had no idea where it went or that it started a new thread. So before I get attacked for being a troll, let me just say that I am hopping on my fat bob for a ride in balmy 35 deg weather

Well, according to your other posts in another thread, you have an M8 Road King.

8000 miles and no problems here except that the bike won't start in gear. I'll have it fixed during 10K service.
