Sorry, took another look at your pictures, and no, I was wrong...nothing new there...there is a fix listed on the web site for these plugs that's a whole lot cheaper than pulling the engine...

You have an 800...the valve covers come off without taking out the engine. This is because it is required to adjust the valve lash periodically...Hmmm, if it is a cam bore plug, you could change it during routine maintenance!

Sounds like the camshaft plug on the cylinder head; kind of a pain to change. However, look in the mods/tips section on the homepage; there is a "quick-fix" that sounds like a good way to fly. Worth a look, anyway.

Thx Reo!! My pup has put in about 10 hours don't know miles and he is only 13 weeks- start them young lol the end result is we will b riding alone and we are ok with it :)

Well I have to get a backerest soon! My boys want a ride real bad. Then a windshield and an engine guard but for fun stuff I want to fringe it all out starting with a seat cover. My budget says little by little though lol

I just got her tuned up and I have a small oil leak the cam something or other I can't remember what he said but I was told it can be a winter project... Thank goodness because it's about  900 to fix it darnit

Nice!!! I like that color. As to your pup,it's funny how there is always someone out there willing to criticize what others do; one of the biggest reasons I like to ride alone. Years ago, a friend of mine had small terrier of some sort; that mutt put in a lot of miles riding shotgun; buddy took the lid off of the left saddlebag,  built a little windshield on it, and that little dog rode many a mile in there, never came to any harm.

What plans do you have to personalize you Drifter? Be sure to post pics!

Have fun and ride safe;
