Thanks for the heads up on the loom problem I checked mine yesterday and it is the same as yours.

Yes mate I have the akra end can on it and you do still get the popping and farting out of it which is becoming quite addictive.
I'm in two minds right now about what to do. I don't have an answer yet to any questions or when I would get a replacement, do I walk away? I'm not sure as I DO like the bike, just not mine.
You could ask for another, in black as they are faster 
Hahaha yep I heard that too, the black does look really good but I'd be a bit put out if a Motorsport version ever parked beside me as we would both know it was more expensive than the black one. :livid:
Maybe it's time to hang up the power ranger suit and get some chaps and tassels and scratch that Harley itch....

The sad thing is the guy riding it thinks he looks really cool...............

The fuel tank is not steel I've discovered (must be Aluminium). I've been round the bike with a magnet, I know I know I should drink less coffee and stay off the E numbers lol. A lot of the bolts/screws are Titanium also....
Think you will find that they are all either steel or aluminium.

Go steady with the pillion pegs blanking screws. They are incredibly soft and require an unusually small Torx drive to remove them. Needless to say 2 of mine twisted off. Quick call to the dealer resulting in me having a cardiac arrest.......?72 yes seventy two pounds for 4 x 8mm blanking screws wtf. You have to buy all 4 as well.........
Wow, some price. I shouldn't be surprised as everything seems to cost an arm and a leg for the bike.
I was looking at the sato street hooks as a tie down point instead of the blanking plates, I think I'll leave them for now.

That is outrageous. Not sure of the exact spec of the blanking screws but would these be an option:

I had some R&G rear hanger blanking plates for my 2013 (about ?20 I think) - they fit my 2015 too. But I prefer the original blanking screws so have left them in.

If they were flathead instead of countersunk they might bud, but I like your thinking..

I agree. Why add extra weight ffs
Is there not vat on that ?72? That was one of the reasons me and my parts man had words as mine did not come with any and he said I had to pay, but he wanted closer to ?100inc p&p. A little call to bmw and I got them at no charge only when I took the pegs of to put them in did I notice the big chunk of steel in the subframe tubes that they and foot pegs mount in. No wonder it's 20kg more than my old gsxr, because of all the little bits like that
The screws are light as anything then go into a chunk of steel, surly four captive bolts would of been better.
