The left side cover fit fairly well but the right side is tight and doesnt snug down all the way. I think the bottom edge may need to be trimmed or possibly bent a bit outwards. I read reviews online and some complained about fit while others said they fit perfectly. Not sure what could cause this variance. In my experience, Kuryakyn is usually good quality and I would think their QC would catch any flaws in production.

Doubtful I realize, but any chance the difference is something to do with the caliper?

 I was discussing the tappet covers. Caliper covers fit well.

Picked up my front forks from the dealer at noonhour-replaced my fork seals, will be putting them back on tonight.
My dealer sent in the paper work to have it covered by my extended warranty-we will see if Yamaha picks up the tab :praying:

Got the Avon 240 mounted up this afternoon!!! Good thing too because there wasn't much left of the stock 210 after 7,632 miles.

 :congrats: That's something I need to get around to doing too, but I'm waiting until I get my SAC installed. Or, I might not. Aargh, I'm so conflicted!
Life looks better from the saddle of a motorcycle.

got my bike out of the shop
 took it in for the schedule maintenance  service. had both Avon Cobra tires installed as well.
rear brake pads were replaced. Bled clutch and brake cylinders since I guess I didn't do a good job.
all I know is that its ready for the Yellowstone National Park Rally.
