Classic understatement there...well played!

Without a doubt...Gulf livery! If you need any more inspiration for this choice...check out Moto GP! I just printed this out last week in high definition on glossy paper and framed it for a wall with Formula 1 race posters. Spectacular!

Well, a quick couple of blasts of DeOxit into the switch and for good measure on all 5 of the relays, and voila, the high beam flasher switch is working again! Much cheaper than buying a whole new switching unit!

Docc...it's a hardened black plastic shell, with a metal ring and round rubber ring at the front held in place by a single screw. The bucket has the wiring harness molded into it, so that will be my challenge as I'll have to transfer that, or get a converter that then marries up to the 4 prong on the bike. I think I can make it work, but may require some assembly. At the moment, I have it all wired up using the original bucket, to test all of the lights and features and it's stunningly good (in the garage at least!). The new light also has semi circular orange LED blinkers in the headlamp...nice feature!

Vielen Dank...that will be the plan next...maybe I'll get lucky and clean the contact and it will work again!

I may have one available, will know in a few days. I'm replacing my Scura stock headlight with the broken refractor that I've tried gluing several times but it keeps breaking and rattling around inside the headlight. I can't find this a replacement part anywhere unless someone else has some good luck sourcing one? I've purchased an LEDPERF headlight (Style 4 in Black), got it all wired in - wow, what a difference from the stock dim unit with some additional features, but I need a new headlight bucket to secure the headlight unlike the stock mounting, so I've ordered one from them as well. Once I get all of the wiring transferred over, my stock one may be available for you. Now I've also reminded myself that I need to figure out why the flasher for high beams doesn't work, while the push button for high beams works just fine. Maybe a fuse or a relay I need to replace for the high beam flasher?

Hylomar also worked for me to get rid of a persistent but small leak on the fuel sender under the tank that connects to the fuel line...just enough on the threads and on the back of the thermistor sealed it all up...NO leaks!

Excellent! Thank you!

About to tackle this slight leak on the right Ohlins at the top in the middle of the silver section inside of the blue nut area, as I have the 8 point tool on order to spin off the larger silver top portion... I'm getting a slight leak in the middle of the circular silver area inside the blue nut casing, originates right in the center...hopefully it will be obvious which seal has gone bad once I spin it out. Any concerns about just spinning off the 8 pointed silver section here, anything likely to fly up and be lost in the garage when I open it up? Not really keen on dismantling the whole front end, and the oil that I am seeing is crystal clear also...so not dirty or murky at all. Of course I have no way of knowing how much oil is in the reservoirs I realize.

Very rarely but occasionally a Givi Windscreen comes up for Griso's....it could be adapted probably to the V11, has a similar, but slightly wider shape...excellent aerodynamics. Let me see if I can find the Givi Model that I have on the Griso, I saw one a couple of months ago for sale...

Nice milestone today on the speedometer...smooth with all of the fresh fluids! Successful 100 mile run...no leaks!

Sorry...let me clarify and be more precise, 85w-140 was on the shelf (Mobil 1 brand), not this Chevron brand. My comment was around the viscosity rating, not the brand. The price says a case, I presume that's a case of 12 bottles or is the price of 1 bottle $115 bucks? Mobil 1 75w90 is costing me $20 bucks a quart.

Thanks Eric. Very interesting...so even though the standard 75W90 or 80w90 weight is recommended, no concerns about putting in 85W140. Saw that on the shelf at the autoparts store when buying the 75W90 fluid but didn't consider it as an alternative. This seems like for a quart it runs about 50% of the price of Mobil 1 or Lucas Gear Oil, but it's a higher quality? To be fair I am not hearing any gear noise from the transmission or rear drive, probably because my valves are slightly loose, but I'll keep this as a good reference for the future!

Now I'm becoming OCD with this and thinking I'll drive 500 miles and then drain and refill all fluids again for transmission and rear drive. Main engine oil I'm not concerned with as that seems to stay pretty clean, but the gearbox / rear drives do seems to get dirty faster. I may have to start doing a fluid change on those every 2 engine oil changes.
