Joining the club (v. 2.5)

I have an exedra sitting in my shed for when its time...i have moved the hugger up maybe an inch with a small steel plate adapter on the right side and packing on the left.It now has plenty of clearance. Dont know how its gonna go but will find out when its time. My cobber recently put a Metzler 888 on his R model....so far its performed ok...we dont expect big mileage from it but it is sticky.

Oh, yeah, I see now - the fender sits really close. If I'm doing the math right the Cobra tire sits 120mm above the rim, while the Exedra adds another 12mm (1/2").

You're giving me some hope here. When you get a chance I'd like to see how you managed those adaptations.

Its the hugger in the front of the tyre thats the problem....i took the hugger off and made a small plate maybe an inch and a half long and bolted to the existing hole in the hugger on the right side, then i drilled a hole thru the plate an inch down throm the existing hole thru that plate and bolted it back on the bike. I went to the left side and packed up under the hugger where that bolt goes with rubber until it looked lined up from the rear and bolted it down. There is a 3rd bolt too in the front/middle which just went straight back in. I have got maybe an inch and a half clearance now.

Working through my list
-Answer to my question about potentially voiding the warranty- found.

Apparently it depends what country you reside in, but for the U.S. according to @MFA
"In the US we can do our own oil changes (need to keep receipts) without invalidating the warranty."

Anyone know where they draw the line on that, for example, can I check and adjust my own valves?

Call a dealer to see what they say

I bet the warranty will expire before you need a valve adjustment. Your local dealer will be your interface for the warranty so I’d check with them to see what might get into trouble.
