Hi all, just picked up a new 26 Peak Edition. While scrolling these posts, I learned about the USB-C plug in the rear view mirror. Very cool. What other hidden or less known features do these cars have that I might not know about?
Hi all. I'm looking at 2 bikes and trying to decide which to buy.
1: 2026 new Tour DCT $32,400 otd +tax. Basically msrp plus dealer fees. Because its current model year and peak riding season, they wont budge on the price
2: 2025 new leftover Tour manual transmission- negotiated down to $27k otd +tax
I started heavy research about 2 weeks ago and pretty much decided I want to get the dct. But after just getting off the phone with the salesman for the manual and ended on a number saving $5400, thats really hard to ignore.
For context, I'm a seasoned rider with 25 years experience. Trading in the Harley.
I know this is hard to answer because the die hard manual fans will say "no brainer" and the die hard DCT fans will say "its worth the extra $5400"
If it matters, they're at 2 different competing dealerships. And they didn't hit the 27k number until i told them I've been talking to the other place about the dct
How do I decide?
I've got a 2018 Ford F450 pickup (not cab chassis) Edit to add per post rules: its 6.7 diesel engine

Im about to do rear brakes and noticed that the spring position in relation to the caliper slide pin upper bolt is different from left to right. On the left side, the socket fits with about 8mm room to spare. On the right side the socket hits the spring and will only sit on at an angle. Any ideas or is it something to not worry about
​
Preemptive questions:
- The truck is empty now. No load
-It's not on a lift or jack. Its sitting as it would drive.
-The fuel tank is at 3/4 but its on the left side so if anything, that should be the lower side.
-the truck doesn't pull or drive crooked at all. Straight as an arrow
-The suspension is all stock from factory
-Its never been in a wreck and nothing appears to be bent or loose.
​
​ Edit to add: I think there a misunderstanding. Or perhaps I should have worded it better. Im not looking for suggestions on how to gain access for removing the bolt. The suggestions given are blatantly obvious. Removing the bolt is easy. The question is about why its like this. Is this common or should I be digging for something hidden bent of out of spec that would be causing this. I've done lots of work on trucks and haven't come across something like this unless the truck is loaded to 1 side with tools or equipment.
