Just took it to the Dealer to have the leaking rear brake caliber bleed valve hole looked at; from the brake recall work that was recently performed.
They actually gave me a ride home this time and will pick me up once it's been addressed. I hope they get it right this time.

I change mine every 4,000 miles, think 29940 is a bit longer than suggested in the maintenance schedule.Originally Posted by Steve 0080

She went to M/C store for new shoes and the brake recall. I did the new Metzler ME888's. I have been a long time Metzler user and wanted to stay with them. See how this new tire works out. My others were ME880 or ME 88s' as the models changed. I know the mileage is not as good as others, but the stick to the road and I love twisties at sub sonic speeds. We will see! I was wondering is anyone else noticed the bike sounds like a fighter jet?

Not a fighter jet; but the tone of the exhaust is certainly most enjoyable. Exudes a seamless, powerful moan and tone; I am really likeing the exhaust of my 2015 deluxe.
It is a total change from the cacophony of aftermarket V-Twin exhaust sound.

Installed the Rivco Aero pegs, easy and useful, not a waste of money at all. Did NOT get rid of the hum as I thought I did. I took an early ride, thought it was gone, then cancelled the meet up with Jim. I expect that it's part of the bike now. I still would like another 15 owner to try it someday. Had a great ride solo, 160 miles.
I also posted this on my Facebook page...

The ride was a good one, but as you can tell, I had a few "close calls".

My black one is as fast as a fighter jet. Mach something or the other. The other colors are noticeably slower. I've got the 888 on the front for a couple thousand now. Love it. Sticks good in the wet.
