@Nevada Notch I'm heading to an event at Eagle Lake (North of Susanville) August 25, 26 and leaving on the 27th (maybe), might stay another day. Lots of US Forest Service and BLM land to ride.

Yes you're right about the mounts, I enjoyed making the mounts and the light bar is a little lower with them. We rode today over a lot of rough terrain and the mounts are really solid.
There's also this light bar kit for the Talon where the light bar is below the roof. This is a problem for me because when we go to the big dunes the front roof line of the Talon gets in the way of seeing where your going.
Here's the kit: Honda Talon 1000X 1000R Roof 42" Curved LED Light Bar Bracket Wire Kit

Haven't rode her in a while except around the mountain so I sprayed off the dust, we will see how far I wanna ride this evening @ 100F......
Ridgid box fits nicely on the new mount plate, but most importantly matches the orange 😁

Well, here is what I DIDN'T do to/with my Talon today. Thanks a bunch, UPS!
SATV has already shipped a replacement - can't say enough good things about them! @SuperATV

More cool stuff from brown Santa today, by way of Bell Engines. I'm not sure how many of these are even in the wild yet but I have one. 😁

Something to do with oil?

Not 100% sure, but it looks like a replacement oil filter cover that you can connect to an external oil cooler.

Replaces the oil filter and let's you run an external filter and cooler without using an adapter where the stock oil cooler bolts on.
Not my picture but one I was sent for reference

Our cages showed up from Filthy Freedom Factory. Got some installing to do now!! Overall they look great. Shipping beat them up a little but they are fine!! I will probably beat them up more on the first trip!😁

I really like the glass frame, not 6 inches wide leaving you a peep hole.
I agree. That was one of the reasons I went with FFF was the size of there windshield with a vent. I wanted windshields and vents.

Now if they could come up with something to get rid of the other filter?

That's pretty cool but it does raise a question - I get 2 or 3 cups of oil draining out when I pull the oil filter cover off, how do you get that trapped oil out of the engine now that it can't flow downhill? Still pull that new cover?
My setup to catch the oil when I pull the cover.

I have a similar set up, on the X a 9x9 pan fits perfectly

My pan is trapped under the Talon in the trailer box at the moment, so I can't measure it for reference but it's not square. Most of my oil changes time out to be at campsites 😍
Begining of Red Canyon, Utah -
East of Breckenridge, Colorado -
St. George, Utah or thereabouts -
West of Green River, Utah -
which is where this track log came from -
This one was fun - the instant I pulled the drain plug, a 100 mph wind (at least. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it) hit me blowing oil everywhere. It blew so hard it blew a brand new roll of paper towels 100 yards off into the weeds. I'm looking around for it so I could clean oil off of everything and thought - where'd that damn roll of paper towels get off to? that can't possibly be it waaaay out there in the weeds, can it? Yup, that was it.
The wind's attack angle was straight into the front of both vehicles. Between Poison Spring and Little Egypt, Utah -
