I changed the oil on my bike last weekend in about 15 minutes. Granted my bike is naked, but I’d never pay $70 for an oilchange… unless I got blown too.

You’ll be amazed at the magic invisibility cloak a bike gives you. It sucks.

+1

as for the rear, i like the exact opposite. Integrated turn signals tail light FTW.

ive also heard that itseasy to change the oil on these bikes i plan on changing the oil in mine so i will let u know if u haven’t already done it. As for the front flush mounts they do make the bike look cleaner in my opinon (not that my opinion counts) but is it hard to see them, i have the front and rear flush mounts but i would only recommend the rear ones and if you are going to get front ones make sure they are able to be seen

I have flush mounts that look pretty similar to the ones on that ebay link. They stand out pretty well imo, i think they will work well for you. As for the integrated tail, +1.

pm’d.

jk, yeah it takes ten minutes to change your oil, do it yourself. i would also get the flush mounts if i were in you shoes, they are cheaper, look better, and don’t really present a visibility issue.

If someone doesn’t notice a man on a motorcycle with integrated turn signals, what makes you think they will notice a man on a motorcycle with regular ones?

Can we install those flashing strobe lights that buses have on our bike so people notice us more? I mean a large yellow bus is easy to miss.

I have flush mounts and they are 100% better looking + are cheaper.

Oil changes aren’t bad, get a friend if need be to help and do it yourself.

it can be pricey for 7 dollar a quart oil at 4 quarts then plus tax and filter. Can be messy with the header right there as well. Greggs Customs makes awesome flushies but those are about 130 bucks right there.

Good job of proving you don’t know what you are talking about.

Stalk turn signal (or integrated mirror signals) are FAR more visible to oncoming traffic than 95% of the flush mounts.

OT: What kind of oil do you guys use in your bikes?

It seems everyone has a different opinion on this; I was just wondering what you guys thought.
