You’ll never pull a dent out of one of those mufflers. The metal is far too thick. I’d start keeping an eye on eBay for a replacement. There are plenty of takeoffs out there. I know a guy that had two sets with zero miles on them.

I took one look at the uncovered fuse box on my R18 and said to myself WTF? It seemed to me that electrical component corrosion is only a matter of time on these bikes.

Do you have any pictures of this supposed damage? Because it sounds like someone who doesn’t want to deal with the hassle and potential mess from mounting and dismounting tires with beads.

I have been using the beads in all of my bikes for over thirty years now. I have read all the negative comments and I don’t buy any of them. My tire life is exceptional, my wheels are not scarred by weights and they never go out of balance.

I’m going to powder coat these as well. I’m just waiting for the third emblem for the breastplate to arrive.

I ordered those titanium emblems and they were unable to produce them. They offered aluminum, brass and titanium. I ended up getting chrome plated steel. Not at all what I expected.

I have always clicked on the image icon on the top of post and that also takes you to the photo library. I have done it the same way here and elsewhere forever. Only recently had this issue cropped up. I attached the image below using your way.

Your pic is posting but mine only post a link to view the pics.

Still not working

Remember this is the same company that sold you a bike without making a service manual available and pioneered subscription fees for heated seats in their autos. Feel free to believe whatever BS they shovel your way.

I prefer Marantz

I was running sans fender using a fork brace while I searched for a fender. I settled on a KlockWerks fender that is designed for an Indian Scout. It’s nice thick steel so I can mount it tight without working about a stone denting from the underside. It also wraps low on the rear to protect...

I can see the photo posting issues are back.

Began the process of fitting my new front fender.

I call BS on these software updates. I think whatever they are simple electronic checks being used to promote bringing your bike into the dealership and pay the exorbitant maintenance charges.
