Yes if you are pulling motor for updates I would check those then.I think they have some epoxy in the holes though you might not be able to take them apart.
I hate the hose touching the hot exhaust I was thinking about routing that different maybe make a new fitting that has a angle on it.Nothing like heating the oil like it is now huh.

Your rear shock hits the gas tank?Is it a Ohlins shock?

I have a set of the first Elkas made for Cannondale and there was an allen head bleeder at the uppermost point of the shock right under the fuel tank.I just had to file a little of it away and have had no trouble with it at all.Those Elkas,by the way,do a real real good job of smoothing out these pennsylvania rocks we find in the strip mining areas they hold pokerruns on here.
