    Aeropeg user also. 60k miles on the Rune with Aeropegs and 5k on the F6B with the Aeropegs. No problems or issues. I am sorry to hear about your incident. Hopefully you will get the bike repaired soon and get some good riding in.
    Let us know how it turns out. I will be more careful with mine now.

    Got the 6 trailered home this morning, will call insurance tomorrow to see who adjuster is and when they will get out and look at it, hope it is just the valve cover, did not totally fall, had hold on it when it went over.

    I got absolutely soaked yesterday during the ride home from Rolling Thunder... luckily my leather vest has become half dry.... me and the old lady are getting ready to go the the Crownsville Veterans Cemetery for a ceremony. Then on the the ALR Post 7 for a nice lunch.



    My bike had it's first real "hose batch" early this morning... can't believe the amount of road grime that was all over it. The silver matte finish sure is easy to clean though... first bike I ever had that I don' have to fret over; if it rains.

    Just for shits & giggles I left a message on Rivco's website last night detailing what had happened to see if I get any kind of response back, their is a lack of customer service out their and it would be nice to at least get some type of response and renew my faith in what ever.

    Called local Honda steelership and was quoted appx $1,300.00 for right side valve cover, gasket and labor. Seems like a person w/some skills concerning wrenching should be able to do this.
