My 2001 has 1mm above. I don't think it was ever monkeyed with because nothing else was ever changed on it. I wonder why there are such variances in the later bikes with the Ohlins.
Under a day left for this beauty. Looks pretty in pictures.

I tend to agree. It's all about marketing and money. My wife is Swedish and we have many Swedish cousins. We have celebrated "Midsommar" over the years when the kids were younger. I did Christmas lights for a few years but stopped. Guess I'm a Scrooge.
We have often wondered the same thing @Scud, where do people store all that crap. In the developments down the hill from me most people cant use their garages for cars because it is full of stuff...and not motorcycle stuff! And I can't tell you how many storage places are nearby.
Another big marketing money grab you left out...Valentines Day. How could Hallmark survive without it?
