Nice Teri, i went with the E-system because it gets the temp and its easier to use and adjust if you want to. But its mostly set it and forget it. I have to fill the res about ever 1,000 miles, you may need to do it slightly more often, since the esystem realizes when your stopped so it wont dispense any fluid. It has a pretty accurate oil gauge on it to for those of lazy people.

I love mine though, and im sure with all the miles you rack up you will love yours. I didnt have to clean my chain all last year, everytime i look at it, it looks like it was just cleaned. Nice film of oil on the whole thing. Just need to remember to check if it needs adjustment now, usually most of us do that while cleaning the chain. I had to adjust 1 time in the past 8,000 miles, and even then it wasnt "bad" just on the high end of slack.

It may make a mess of your wheels though, and they are track-legal.
