Thanks, I found these instructions which seem reasonable. Will start with the lower triple bolts.

Okay, the helicoil went in easily and the front master cylinder now seems solid. But there is another issue: when the bars and risers are centered, the front wheel is angled significantly to the left, like a couple degrees. I can't figure out how this could be. The risers cannot move...

Curious what evidence you believe supports this thesis? Not doubting; just want to learn more about how you came to your conclusion.

It's a 30mm bolt so I think you are right. I still might drill it with a pin vise.

Okay, ordered M6x1.0 helicoil kit. Will see how it goes. Thanks!

Fair point. I'm not necessarily anti-helicoil. I'm just wondering how feasible it will be to squarely drill the oversize hole for the helicoil in the master cylinder body. I guess I can give it a try as the part can't really get any worse.

Thanks. I know I could use a helicoil but since brakes are safety equipment I'm more comfortable putting on new parts. I'll ask Alta for the part numbers.

Well, my wife's test ride on our new SM didn't end well. She's 5' 5" and weighs 115 lbs. (not much shock compression), so only the tips of her toes touch the ground; she was nervous about tipping over when coming to a stop. Sure enough, as she was stopping she reached for the ground with her...

On my SM I literally cannot see over either shoulder with the mirrors in the stock position, so while I can see my blind spots I can't check my six. Has anyone fitted longer mirror brackets to improve visibility to the rear?

Progressive offered me the same for the Alta: liability only. Though it did only cost $2.94 a month to add it the bike to my existing policy. That's better than Markel, who wouldn't cover the Redshift at all.

Is there a particular length to buy? Are the chain lengths the same on EX/MX/SM?

Which O-ring chain did you choose?

His profile says Maui, so is that the hills above Wailuku?

Guess no one has tried this. I ordered some LED blinkers and will give it a try. There is an Acerbis LED tail light on Revzilla that looks like it could work as well.

Anyway, I think I am going to try an Outex kit on the wheels when I swap tires next.

Ah, got it. Didn't notice the difference between tubeless and Tubliss.

I have the same Fobo sensors on my AT. Good system, especially since I use a Sena headset and can hear the TPMS alarm very well. What do you mean by "four chambers"?

Yeah, I have Alpinas on my Africa Twin. After lunch at work the other day, my coworker walked in and said my parked bike had a flat rear tire. We went out later and used my tubeless repair kit and DC inflater to repair it. Took about 15m and it hasn't lost any air since. That's why I want...

I just went down to my SM to try and figure out the wheel size and noticed that both tires say "Tubeless". Are the wheels actually tubeless, or are these TL tires simply run with tubes, which should be fine given the low maximum speed of the bike?

Mine shows full for quite a while but eventually the display shuts off.
