I just happened to look as I was chucking up a piece of 20mm aluminum bar stock in the lathe to make my own. The bar stock would have cost almost as much as I paid for them from Amazon.

Do you have Amazon where you are? In the US I ordered a 5 pack of these spacers for $6 USD, basically nothing.

I don't think I've ever heard any Husqvarna motorcycle referred to as 'elegant' before :ROFLMAO:

?? Nothing has changed in that pic other than the extra vinyl sticker on the tank...

I did not and I didn't see your comment until it was too late to add to that order. $50 from italy for a pair vs $120 in the US. But I saved so much on the rotors I didn't care and just ordered them from amazon.

Holy hell!! Edit: Just ordered the Brembo rotors. I like the look of the Galfer better but if it is metallurgy that is causing the warping issue I don't want to find out that the larger rotors will wind up with the same problem, I'm just now starting to feel pulsing right before I stop.

Rottweiler has a front wheel 320 kit for our bikes using Galfer wave rotors, going to try that. The best I can find the Brembo 320's are on on the order of $400 each... https://shop.rottweilerperformance.com/oversized-320mm-front-rotor-kit-790-890-990-duke/

If it's holding voltage I don't see how a different battery can cause a problem. I've never seen anything.

First thing I do on every bike is switch to a Shorai. 6 pounds of savings up high on the bike. The one in my MT09 is six years old and still cranking faster than a lead acid.

All of the issues you are describing will be taken care of by a FuelX. All it does is slightly richen the mixture by adjusting what the O2 sensor reports. If you do a full exhaust or a decat you have to use a Coober or other such thing, but on a stock bike the Coober is a waste.

If you went from the stock muffler with baffle to the Remus with a baffle I find it incredibly hard to believe that is your issue, the airflow just can't be that different. People have totally removed the baffle from the stock can and not had issues, that would affect flow way more than another...

Pothole is one thing, but even though it feels bad it generally is too fast to get the suspension to move much. If you are riding fast on backroads and you have an elevation change those are the ones that get you. If you are good with it that is all that matters.

If you hit a heavy undulation that rear tire is going to grab the reflector and yank it off. When I did my tail tidy I had the license plate too upright and the bottom of the plate got rolled under (and I'm in the US, our plates are a lot smaller than yours)

It's not often I get to say this anymore but it is a lot better in the US, at least with my dealer. He is 2.5 hours and a ferry ride away so I built a visit in when I rode to a brewery. I did my own oil change at home, showed him the receipts and they plugged in my computer to update the...

If I were going to do this and didn't have access to machining tools I would remove the silver expansion plug, cut off the black insert section from the stock bar end with a hacksaw and use it and the brass cylinder in place of the silver stuff.
