Reply #1 - 04/03/09 at 12:41:20 Oh and I put a new oil plug (infamous oil leak) in the bike... Bought it from Bike Bandit and noticed the new one was quite beefier than the old one... in fact I had to use a rubber mallet to get it in and its not hollow either! I think this should take care of it!

Very nice, but is that a dent in the right side of the tank?
