  Just ordered the Trask performance check-mate ventilated transmission cover, just a preventative measure to reduce any pressure build up and gets rid of another peace of plastic (not sure about freeing up some hp as stated though)-  https://rolliesspeedshop.com/shop/transmission-final-drive/transmission-bt-6-spd-era/transmission-externals-bt-6-spd-era/trask-performance-checkm8-vented-transmission-top-cover-black

  I dont know the first thing about the M8 motor cos the twin cams are heaps better.

  Seems like an expensive hose with a hole on the end .

  So you drink schooners of VB ?

  There might be hope for you yet.

  Even if you are a Queenslander.

  Gave the other V-twin some love (KTM950) , Valve clearances, oil change, Carb' sync , still need to do the coolant.
  I need to service the forks, but can't be fucked !
  These bikes are pretty labour intensive compared to a Harley .

  It fills in the day mate 😁👍

  Are the forks a pain to do?

  Yes, shim under buckets.
  

  Remove Carb's and airbox, measure clearance , calculate new shim size, remove cams and buckets and change shim , refit cams and measure .
  At least the cams are gear drive .
  
  The factory White power USD cartridge forks are just a bit more time consuming .

  Exact same procedure as my FXDX , which also need a service !
  

  Sometimes I struggle for motivation !

  Finished off fitting my rear wheel with new Pirelli Night Dragon. Had a Night Dragon before and was good although last few rides it was starting to slip. Being seven years old it can be expected. 

  
  

  Soft...
