Going to be looking at a '13 BMW and a'15 Ape tomorrow. Both are stock, low mi, and the same price. Have looked at both new to replace the 10r.
Intend to ride it primarily sport touring and some local fun roads. I know........ get a GS but have a reworked Dyna that is fine for slabbing it...
Need some suggestions.
I haven't had a dirt bike since the Hodaka shortly after H.S. so have no idea what I'm talking about.
I would like to pick up a used plated dirt bike for my 14 yr old kid for Christmas. He has shown some interest and it would get him away from the electronic gadgets...
Or........
No need for a patch kit.
Rider has Pennsylvania plates.

I recall there was a thread in which K&N oil filters were discussed. Did the search but could not find it.

I know there is at least one other thread about ethanol but did the search and couldn't come up w/ it.

Installing a new steel tank on the '07 dyna. Would appreciate thoughts concerning sealing the tank.
The only reason to seal the tank would be to avoid rust in the future. I've had Kreem start to pull away in the past and it was a bitch to remove. Also the voids hid rust that formed under the...

It is of course well documented that ethanol has cause fuel tanks on Ducs, KTM, Aprilia, and HD to deform.
Considering an Aprilia rsv4rr or rf but don't want to deal w/ the tank issue.

The trusty '05 10r has to go up on the auction block:( While checking the valves noticed a number of the intake and exhaust cam lobes are going flat. W/ over 120k on the clock it's hard to justify the expense. Never down or tracked, not burning any oil and oddly still runs strong. Will miss...
Chrome plating needs to be removed from some small parts on the HD
It appears as though the best way to do it is to have a plating shop do it by reversing the plating procedure.
Can anyone recommend a plating shop preferably in the north peninsula or east bay?

The tires currently on the bikes are newer than the "new"...
