Tires are original, maybe 1.5-2k miles left in them. Never dropped/crashed. Bike runs & functions perfectly.

Oil changes done as scheduled using Motul 10w-40 synthetic.

Complaints: A few light scratches from normal dual sport riding. Some of the paint on the perimeter of the rear rim was rubbed off when I was changing the tire using the "No-mar" tire changer.

A rear tire puncture was repaired with a worm-type plug about 600 miles ago.

I replaced the passenger seat with a piece of black cutting board material (cut to shape), planning to use it as a place to permanently mount a tool kit. I have the original foam and cover for the pax seat, and can return it back to stock if desired.

December 10

Today we attached 1" x 2" anchors/spacers to the walls -- as anchors for the paneling, and spacers for the reflective facing. (Foil-faced insulation requires an air gap for peak performance.)

The locations of the vertical 1" x 2" members coincides with the metal ribs. We attached each one using 1/4" - 20, 2 inch, thread-cutting screws. (That's 1/4" diameter, 20 threads per inch, 2" of screw below the head.) We chose the Torx-drive screws because of the more positive engagement of the driver and screw.

The horizontal 1" x 2" acts as a 2nd anchor for the paneling.

The topmost, horizontal 1" x 6" allows us to use 4' x 8' sheets for the side panels, and 2 4' x 8's for the ceiling without wasting long strips of birch paneling.

Starboard side, looking forward.

The vertical 1" x 2" members only go up so far because the bolt heads from the deck supports protrude through the ribs.

We think it's enough support for the paneling.
Port side, looking forward.
