Went on 2 rides this weekend. The first one totalled 260 miles. and the second ride was 138 miles. mostly super slab. All of the new mods and additions to the bike worked flawlessly. One exception though. It was a much older mod. The forward mounting bolt for the rear caliper support arm worked it's way loose. I noticed the forward end of the arm laying on the exhaust pipe, as you can see in the first photo. Luckily the bolt stayed in the rod end bearing. A quick fix with a 10mm wrench.

Well done Fred, glad it's done and all went well. Looking forward to Colorado next month.

Yep, noticed the same thing with mine on the weekend. I'll have to put a few drops of blue Loctite on the nut.
