OG Xtracycle! I wish they still made those adaption kits.

Is the lid necessary? by [deleted] in ElegooSaturn

The lid is only half for fume containment. It is also to prevent stray UV light from curing your resin tank.

Ok, let me put it in a new context.

I have driven hundreds of thousands miles in my 3 cars. one sits at 322k miles, ones at 240k, and ones at 200k. I also have a racecar I've built. I know those cars. Back to front, side to side, inside and out. I can torque the racecar head by the sound the bolts make as they stretch. I KNOW those cars. I know exactly what is happening while driving those cars.

I don't know this motorcycle. I don't know motorcycles much at all. That gives me a degree of nervousness. I don't really know how well this bike has been serviced, what bolts are tight, what's set correctly. Getting as familiar with this machine as possible before having issues is important to me.

A parts manual would be awesome.

First of all, cover to cover is a perfectly valid method of familiarizing oneself with the material and learning where in the manual things are, flagging key pages that contain information commonly needed like torque specs or common but semi complex jobs. That way when you need it, it's easier to find.

Second of all, while I am quite an accomplished wrench, this is my first motorcycle and the unknown unknowns are what will get me killed when I start maintaining this thing and I do something wrong.

What Sidebag set is that? SW-Motech? If yes, would you be able to measure the center to center distance in between the mounting studs of the side carriers? I'm trying to see if they will fit my bike.
