Well, considering that the only turns I took were city streets and off ramps....

Heading out for a really short jaunt this morning with Miles to see what I can do about those things.

Thanks and yes to both sentiments. I can't believe how much I like that motor. And I can't believe how loud it is even with the stock can.

Yeah, I need to set time aside for that. It's not an easy task by any means though. I was reading about using a hair dryer so will give that a shot. How did you do it?

Yes, it does take a while... simply due to the quantity of stickers!

I used a combination of finger nails, a razor blade, a small plastic scraper and a heat gun (very sparingly). Then, a bit of goof-of to get rid of the bits of leftover glue.

Interesting top case. Did you create the mounts yourself?

James, if you put a top case on your tuono, well, we'll have to have words.

Well... seeing as I'm also James, what's the problem?!

I ride that thing every day and needed somewhere to put my work bag and gym bag. I could sherpa everything in a giant backpack, but that seriously sucks.  Yeah, may not be the prettiest thing, but it works well.

That being said, once I've saved up enough to get my tenere, the top case will come off the tuono.  Bigok
