Apparently some are VIN restricted, but my dealer is looking for a way around that. (Not the CVO bar & shield tank badges though).
Which ones? I was thinking about switching my '21 tank emblems

Well I brought the banjo bolt into the shop this morning and it is not a 7/16-24. It is a metric thread. Here's what I got on the caliper:

1/2" bolt head
11.3/11.4mm banjo diameter
M12x1.0 thread
1.079"/27.5mm length

This is on my 2017

Hey Arby this might explain why his threads are jacked up. That was cool that you took the time to do that.

I'm trying to get the orange emblems that were on the 2019 Silver Flux and Scorched Orange SGS and RGS.

Has anyone found a good 2up touring seat in brown leather? I like the look of the Harley one but from reading reviews its not really a touring seat. Love the road sofa but ive only seen it in black.

That sounds like a special order from a good seat vendor. I doubt you will find a brown seat on the open market.

Dayum, that's a mean looking bike. Are those 14 or 16 Carlini's?
