@vjordan It’s just that they are out of stock of M10s now.

These are what I used for my Vitpilen 401, M10 x 1.25

Easy peasy. Now we all know not to top it off. Thanks for the update.

Strange. Were you going uphill when it stalled?

There’s a motorcycle towing guy here in Seattle called Lowside. I’ve never used him but I hear he’s reasonable. https://lowsidetna.com

It’s very cool you crafted your own, purloined. Very unique. I’d recommend obscuring your plate when posting photos though. Anyone lurking here can look up your plate and get your address. Bike theft is a thing so it’s better to be safe than sorry. That’s my opinion anyway.

For me an adds a nice element of contrast and elevates the bike a bit. It’s an esthetic mod for sure, nothing to gain from it beside that.

I live in Seattle like Marquezdl and my moto jacket happens to be water resistant. My sneaks  are too, as is my backpack. Do you wear protective gear? If not, just buy a protective jacket that’s water resistant/proof. If you already have gear then just get a pocket unfoldable one to slip over it.

I don’t know what decision you two made but I bought a 2018 401 because of a huge discount and haven’t had any of the above mentioned issues yet. I’ve only been riding it for 2 weeks not though.

Glad to hear it went well. That’ll be my next mod for sure.

Hey @benji22 did you figure out everything with your tail tidy? Curious how difficult the wiring was for you.

Honestly I’ve just used some multi-purpose cleaning wipes to clean it up. If I need to do a deeper clean I guess I’d look to the Meguiar brand to see what’s available. Anything safe for exterior car plastic should be safe for the body.

I should definitely get a chain to lock it up at home. Thanks, Midnaite.
