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
