You can reach it if you have the right H pipe installed. At least, that was my experience on a T3 Cali.

But you're not talking about a T3 are you?  As you were.

It's a chicken and egg situation mate, maybe some numpty put the collector box in front of the gearbox drain plug.
On your behalf, I've decided to sort the age old "which came first" philosophical argument.
I've been onto Amazon, and ordered a chicken and an egg.
I'll let you know ...

Yes not too bad where it's just a pipe, I found a socket extension would go past it, but with the modern ones I don't know, obviously a PITA.

Be fair, it's Italian. Form over function every time.

I took the 750 superdream to Banks in Bury for its 2 year check up/service - expensive oil change (keep the warranty happy) and was told my rear tire was a little squared off.  I took that as advice to remove said squaring by twatting it all the way back home and reliving my teens on every roundabout I could lean into.   They also video the tech walking around the bike pointing at things (I already knew) - shame they don't video the oil change. For £125 I want a DVD in HD....LOL

A small shower of rain overnight, first for 6 or 8 weeks, so I took the cloth dust cover off the bike to allow everything to dry.
The track is becoming perilous with purple figs and I'm recovering from birthday celebrations.
Maybe tomorrow ...
