funny how instagram works... this also showed up yesterday and I ordered it. Not as robust as the BPM but I liked the cheesy laser to make it idiot proof.

I must have dreamed this up.....the rear rack bolts are separate. I have even had the racks off twice. Who knows.......

Michelin Anakee, slightly different than stock, very close though.

Do your original tire wear out already?

7500 miles seems reasonable for OEM.

I got lucky! the radiator guard came in 3 months early and I thru it on, easy 15 minute job. I'm not a fan of HD Chinese Torx head bolts so I replaced the bolts that hold skid plate on with stainless steel Allen head button head flange bolt. I have gotten into doing this on any Torx bolts that will have to be taken on and off often.

Yeah that seems acceptable to me also. Probably could have made 8000 on the rear, but it's been too hot to ride for last few days so just got it done in order to enjoy the approaching cooler days with new treads.
