Ah, lots of questions and lots of developments.
Regarding the wheels, see the CSC blog. Please, no phone calls on this package yet; it's still in development. But it shreds. It's awesome. When the wheels are available we will post the info on the blog.
Regarding the foam air filter and if it is oiled from the factory, I didn't think to ask when I watched them building the bikes on my most recent visit to Chongqing. The airbox is installed on the line as a complete subassembly (which is typical for assembly line operations in any industry). On our test bike that we used for the air filter maintenance tutorial, I couldn't tell by looking at it if had been oiled. That bike has about 8,000 miles on it and the filter was relatively clean. Most of its miles were on the dyno, so it was all indoors.
I don't have any personal experience with Notoil, but based on the preferences expressed on this board, we'll look into stocking it.
Regarding the questions on fork braces...same thing, I've never used them on any motorcycle. I've read positive and negative things about them, but I have no personal experience with them and certainly no experience using a fork brace on the RX3.
On the question of fork gators, etc., some people can get damage on the forks that can ruin the fork seals. I've never had that happen on any motorcycle I've ever owned. The only motorcycle of the many I've owned that ever had a fork seal leak was a '95 Triumph 1200 Daytona, and that one failed from old age shortly after I bought the bike. I bought it brand new when it was 7 years old (it's a story for another time).
