Every day to work and back ... just like today, yesterday and so on ... not as pleasurable as taking a cruise ... but hell a ride is a ride :LOL:

I have a very good set ... but you may not like the price ... dm me if interested.

Most of the buffeting will come from down below ... search the forum ... there are options for the TC to relief that issue ... for the FE and the Classic it is the Memphis Shades option and I believe on the TC it is the 'Winglets' ... give that a whirl ...

I see ... well you may change your mind down the line ... the maintenance on these bikes is quite easy ;) This said ... have your mechanic check the valve lash ... if I remember right that will be the case on your next service anyway.

That is (IMO) pretty much normal .. do you do your own wrenching? ... If so check the valves next time you change your oil .. it is not hard to do and it will give you piece of mind ;)

Nope the R18 has solid cam followers and is a relative noisy valve train ... now it could be still something more ... but first impression is a 'loose' valve ... not to worry ... valves on the 'loose' side are just noisy not harmful ... too tight ... now that can be a problem :) How many...

All I hear is one or more valves a little on the loose side ... does the noise change as the motor reaches operating temperature?

Just to throw in my 2¢ ... I had Corbin make me one and it is a world of difference ...

I don't understand 'Parts Lost' you mean the short lines from the OEM handle bars?

Do you have one of these infra red heat guns? ... that way you can turn both on for the same length of time and setting and check ... that way you have a real comparison, before you (maybe) start chasing an issue that may not be there ... just my 2¢ ;)

Add: Kickstand down and a few seconds of idling ... then pushing the 'Ignition' button to turn it off and I have almost never issues.:unsure: I have been reading the previous posts and IMO you are all way over thinking his ... some of these procedures sound like 'The Kickstart Procedures' from...

^ what he said ...

Are the pads moving feely? ... or can you at least move them?

Hmmm that is a good question ... the parts diagram is no use here I expect he 2 halves to have o-rings between them ... but honestly ... don't split them if you don't have to ... it is messy, asks for leaks and you have to bled the brakes after ... wiggle the pads stick some needle nose down...

Best of luck ... I hope you get it out without having to split the caliper ...

Damn ... well it looks like you are changing pads .. so no need to worry about the existing ones ... I would put a few drops of penetrating oil here: All along that pin (that is the one you are trying to get out) and then use needle nose pliers right here to push it out until you can grab...

Angle the wrench a bit and pull at he same time ... or needle-nose-pliers ... its just a locating pin with threads at the end ... it should slide right out.

Nice!

If you have a 3D printer hit DM message me and I send you some files ... you can print one yourself using TPU.

Your saddle bags / panniers from the 'Classic' will not fit anymore with the FE/Pure fishtails ... sorry to burst your bubble
