Thanks! Those are indeed Pirelli Sport Demons....very nice looking size and fit....and they have tubes.
I actually had fun doing the trouble-shooting, but agree that it is completely unacceptable to do such a poor job with design and assembly of a simple fuel hose. It thought we were going to burn out the starter or destroy the sprag during the initial attempts to start at Marty's shop.
Anyway, now I know where to find everything on the bike! A 7" headlight swap comes next, and I will get rid of the rear license plate and move in the rear turn signals once my plates come in.....will post photos at that time.
The bar ends have a nice plastic ring where you can mount bar end mirrors. I had a pair of tiny aluminum ones that fit perfectly, but I am going to look for larger ones.
GHG and ScooterBob, I don't need freebies, but nice chrome coils would look much nicer than the yellow painted ones!
Bare, the release cable is inside the left cover and the cover has a lock.....although it would still be pretty easy to force open.
