Hey Cowpuc, enjoying the video but you didn’t come far enough North and West to see some real fall Michigan colors Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not everyone. I prefer mine as low as they will go without the cables hitting the tank. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Oops! I mean I’m glad that I did NOT install the Big Bike hitch on my bike. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Glad I went with the big bike hitch. Only the bags, seat and back brace needed removal. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Had mine out for a spirited run yesterday and a close listen in the garage with a rod to my ear while idling after. Most of the noise I’m hearing seems to be coming lower in the engine (cam chain adjuster/primary chain adjuster?) but really isn’t as loud as the Harley’s that I’ve owned. I’m at 12k now so plan on rolling on to the 16k mile service where the lifters are scheduled to be inspected. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for posting, sucks to get your trip cut short but it sounds like your dealer is doing everything possible they can do. Is the last four of your SN under 1000 or so? I’m liking this 5 year warranty more and more. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Woah! Fast color or slow color? Congrats! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Chief, I agree with the reasoning. Is it a procedural oversight or an assembly oversight on these 500 bikes. Mine is 0705 which I believe is close to your date of assembly. I will be listening to my bike closely tomorrow especially the rear cylinder. I have thought I was hearing more valve noise but haven’t given it lot of thought ‘till now. If it was a procedural oversight, a recall might be in order on these 500 bikes. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sure sounds like a problem with the oil change. Very easy to put too much oil in if the level isn’t checked upright and to temperature. Definitely go to the top, waiting until Oct. is unreasonable. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Had a 2012 Ultra 103 before my SVTC and the heat issue is not even comparable. If you like an air cooled V twin and like touring, the SVTC is the bike in my opinion. 12k and counting. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Enjoy those grandkids, and thanks for sharing your story. But now you have me jonesing for a TX500. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It looks better with the $99 bag and was very sturdy and offered attachment points on my trip. I kept my rainsuit and sandals in it for easy access without putting too much weight on the lid. But I wish it was wider also (and Chrome!) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I agree and almost purchased it but look at the installation instructions first. Must make template and drill holes in what looks like areas that are not reinforced. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Went excellent. Only 3 days of rain in 5 weeks. (Some rerouting based on forecasts) Dealer looking at steering bearing along with 12 k service and new front tire on Thurs. , we’ll see. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
