Welcome from the once great state of Colorado.

New Talon Owners - First Things to Know and Check
I'm new to the SxS world - damn, there's a lot to learn, hence this thread - maybe we can make it easier for others new to the Talon and put it in one thread. 1. If you're a motorcyclist, you already know that sometimes your bike won't shift into gear at a stop without rocking the bike back and...

Made me a quick connect table top to use when overlanding, 5 second install and removal.

I will get a couple more pics today
I took a piece of 3/4"X3/4" angle and added a couple1/4-20 carriage bolt into one side at the factory tie down loops in the rear of the bed. The bolt heads go into the loops and the the Pac-out base plate is bolted to that.
The flat plates are added for stability of the base, the OEM plastic has no support past these bolts.
This is not for anything really heavy or the be used while riding. I was looking for something to hold my Jet boil and a few things while Overlanding.

So I got a really slow leak in the RR earlier this summer and I'm blamin' @CumminsPusher because his buddy, Tony, brought it to my attention. Good thing too, I've had very good luck with tires and hadn't noticed the tire was really low. Thanks, Tony.
It was a really slow leak, easy to ignore, so I did. Until Utah loomed and Imma thinkin' - Am I feelin' lucky? Well, am I?
I didn't think the tire was leaking bad enough that it would show on the 'bubble' test but, what the hell - squirt, squirt, squirt ...
Quick backstory, the Talon lives on the trailer in the garage and I didn't want to unload it ... what are the chances that that leak would be where I could see bubbles if they did show up? I'm guessing 40%, at best.
Welp, it worked, very slow leak at 9 o'clock, dead center in the tread. Let's plug that b!tch!! I started with an ice pick, to get the hole started and things went wrong 'right now'. The steel belt deflected the ice pick to the side of the leak. I got it pushed into the tire (really hard to do) and the damn thing is still blowing bubbles, the ice pick wasn't in the damn hole. Now I have 2 holes in my tire.
I proceeded trying to plug the hole anyway, but as hard as it was to get that skinny ice pick thru the tire, I didn't have much hope in getting the much larger plug tool + plug through - and I didn't come close, even beating on the plug tool with a piece of 4 x 4 I had lying around. Yes, I used the reamer first, included in the plug kit.
Ok, I surrender, the rear tires are 75% done anyway, I'll order 2 new ones on Monday.
I did, they got here after Discount Tire closed but he called me anyway to tell me they're here and I installed them today.
All that soz I could post a picture of my pritty new tire.
There's one on the other side just like it. (BFG KM3 OHV specific)

Got a photo? I'm thinking the seat base is mild steel, weld that beach back together and ride.

Where can I find this oil filter and cooler setup?

The replacement oil filter cover and the oil cooler block off deal is from Bell Engines on FB, so if you want one send him a message. That filter housing in the picture is from Pro1(big $$$) and the cooler/fan combo is from Earls. The plumbing is all AN-10.
You are probably looking at a $1500+ setup once you buy all the parts and the hose and fittings to plumb it all like in that picture.
I'm converting my engine over to a remote style oil filter this winter using his adapter but I plan on using a much cheaper oil filter adapter. I already have an oil cooler in my car so other than changing the fittings from -8 to -10 on that and replumbing the system with -10 lines/fittings my swap should be cheap(ish)

Yep, Rokblokz. They help a lot with mud fling. My buddy in the green machine was way dirtier everywhere, including the windshield.
