And who's this Castrol the mechanic they recommend and what's his first name?
Fiddle Castrol, I think. He's Cuban.

I know I can be (am) OCD, this doesn't bother me, on the other hand (sorry if this is a hijack) that exposed oil filter sure does.....

What about the slots in the fork preload screw heads not being aligned at the same angle?
Surely I can't be the only one who noticed this.

I noticed... It kills me, but since I can't fix it, I compartmentalize it, and try not to think about it
. Hahaha! I am OCD.

I wonder if you OCD guys all own the deluxe model. If not, does the asymmetrical exhaust on the standard, which constantly pulls it to the right, bother you at all?
RE: Those cables were driving me crazy! - Ghis_imp - 05-17-2015
I don't have a DLX, but I'm not obsessing a bit over that one sided exhaust pulling the bike to the right, because soon I will have a single sided saddlebag on the left evening things out
. No seriously! That's what I did on my '13 Scrambler with that high mount exhaust. One step ahead of you on that one... LOL. I know, I am crazy. Not sure it can be fixed either.

You know, if I had my time again, I might go into psychiatry and specialise in OCD CB owners. "Tell me ......, how long have you loved your motorcycle?". Or, "That is not an RLET. It is a symbol. It is a symbol of your deep seated insecurities". "Tell me ....., when did you become aware that those cables did not follow the lines of the bars?". "Do you feel that vibration while you talk with your mother-in-law, or only while on your CB?" Etc, etc.
24th floor, designer office with a stunning view, chrome and glass furniture, originals on the walls, sexy receptionist and a stable full of fast bikes. That could have all been mine. Maybe in the "next life".
Cheers
