As I'll be at 100K miles when I finish off the next rear tire and have put all of the miles on, as I bought the bike new and have only run Auto CCTs (yes they have been changed out when needed) I will say CCT failures have cost me $0 as I have never had a failure let alone and issue with them..... :wink:

i can generally get tools and pullers made up if you have dimensions and pics etc. So if you need anything pls ask and i can see if i can get them made.

Been busy today.... Fitted cooling fan (not that it ever gets hot enough to need one).
Replaced oil and filter. Fitted Viper cans....My God that single carbon can I had before really restricted the motor. Bit louder now but soooo much quicker. Lesson learned. Just need to remove rear pegs and smooth off the lugs on the hangers.
