@BMW Alpina Short and sweet review: Yes, if I crashed and had the choice to convert back to oem I would still pick the Rade Garage tank if it was available. If I had two bikes, I would keep one mostly stock. This tank is not a universal must have upgrade and is definitely not for everyone...

I got the sato axle in with no modifications. Maybe the v4evo ones were out of round or off center. It's snug but does go in without having to pry the clamp open. Saved a whopping 15g! Yes you read that correctly! $1000 to save a whole a$$ 15g fml and just realized that -15g is without the...

Got some riding pics posted in the FB group

Got an update from SBU about the Sato axle not being a direct fit for my 2023 showa forks. I have had the same issue when I ordered Ti axles from V4evo which were bigger than my oem axle by 0.005" at the non-threaded end. I am debating having the axle turned down to the same diameter as the oem...

Checking off a few more boxes today. Got spooked by the tariffs bumping prices of stuff so my plan to wait for Black Friday deals later this year won't work. I2M Chrome Pro 2 Braketech Axis rear floating rotor Sato Ti axle

Holiday Shopping spree checked off a few more boxes. Rear non abs brake line and fluid reservoir delete Samco thermostat delete silicone hose system Translogic quick shifter Brembo t drive front rotors and corsa corta rr front master cylinder I wanted to get some other parts but couldn't...

Got the weight down to about 415lbs no gas. Hoping to get under 400 lbs after the full Ti exhaust upgrade and getting rid off some unnecessary hoses etc.

I found a good deal on a used SC Project S1 GP exhaust system! Not sure if they all come this way but this one will be able to accommodate the Euro5 set of 4 O2 sensors. Now to wait for it to arrive from Denmark and see if it will play nicely with the Rade Garage tank, wish me luck. If it won't...

Ordered a 2 Wheel DynoWorks ecu flash. Waiting for a holiday sale paid off as they dropped the price by $50 for Black Friday. Depending on what other deals I can line up, I'm hoping to check off a few more boxes by the end of the month like some wheels, exhaust, etc. Now to figure out if I can...

Update Checked off a couple boxes recently.. I found a donor bike 1199s so will be cannibalizing the Marchesini wheels and carbon CRG levers. While I like the Marchesini wheels I have also considered putting them back on the 1199 if I can get a set of PVM 8 spoke wheels in a color that I can...

@Bruce Wayne update on the fm link?

I found this during the third oil change. I sent in an oil sample to blackstone labs on Monday so will report back with results in 2 to 9 weeks. Bike feels and rides great. No unusual sounds or symptoms that I can tell.

Show me your v4 drain plug confetti and let me know what you think of mine. 1245 miles.
