    Commando Exhaust Installation

    Hi all, I'm installing the commando exhaust from Mikes. Installation was going smoothly until I attempted to attach the hanger to the frame at the passenger foot peg. But the peg design and hanger design are incompatible. The peg has a metal tab that keeps it from rotating on the stud...

    Upgrading Fuel System

    I sort of figured. But I'm not planning getting it until January give or take. So I'm hopeful that it will be back in stock by then.

    Gearing up for another cross country trip
