    Couldn't agree with you more, if they put an oil pump on the bike, why not use it.

    Currently giving the bike a fresh lick of paint. I'm working on the tank right now. Did a bit of corrosion treatment to the seam and sprayed it with putty to hide all the bumps. All this fairing repair and paint work is daunting; the tunnel seems very long with barely any light at the end.
