Just rolled over 40,000 miles. Other than general maintenance: An '05 BA bought in June of 2005

Second battery
Second chain guard
second set of rear break pads
Third set of tires
The speedo cable loopy thingy on the fender still needs to be replaced
Second set of after market exhaust (won't get on my high horse about Bub)
Second headlight courtesy of a rock
Swapped the stock seat for a Corbin within months of ownership
The Speedo is off by about 10-15 mph

The front rotor is warped and causes the front brake to pulse like crazy. Perhaps the warping occurred when it got wet while hot??

After nearly five years, I still can't justiy the cost of the big bore kit. The lil' 790cc engine is all thats needed. I'll save that $1200 and apply it to the rumored Triumph Trophy or BMW R1200RT fund.

I look forward to hitting 100k miles on it.


Didn't buy into the hype, you can keep the change.
