Default Trip planned and now the gremlins are coming!

I wanna get ready for my trip in June, new tire, womans backrest, exhaust, and oil change. Got everything but the oil change done and now the gremlins [sm=sigh.gif]are coming after me. My crankcase vent started to leak Sunday, my bag fillers rubbed and broke my licence plate light wiring Monday, and I have had a vibraton sound in the rear of my bike and found my brace for the fender (bumper delete) is rubbing on the fender making noise and digging into my fender edge!!!!! Today I mounted and wired a new light set up and made sure there is proper clearence, bought door edge trim and used it on the edge of my rear fender so the brace doesn't rub and I am still trying to figure out how my crankcase issues can be solved. Stupid plastic washers!

Forget about the gremlins.... how's the T-header sound?

Seriously, unless it's really puking oil, I wouldn't worry about it. Replace the washers and bring a towel to wipe off the residue if it gets to bad. You'll have a great trip.

How does it sound?, freakin awesome! Has a crisp thump to it but very deep and the snarl when you let off is mean!

I am not too worried about the leak, just seems like everything is poking it's ugly head up. Guess it is better it happens now then half way along thetrip
