^ NICE!! That has the profile laced front 21" wheel which looks bad *** IMO and is easier to clean, and the solid rear dish. I like that Black, almost pulled the trigger on it till I saw my blue one. Swap that stock seat out for a badlander and your set for the beginning of an addiction. Hell of a deal if you ask me. Buy it, mod it, and show us. There aren't too many standards floatin around here.

Noticed the same thing about the wheels, not sure I agree on the seat, but hell that's a personal thing anyway.
As for there not being many Standards around, I beg to differ.
There are plenty of them around here, its just that its kind of hard to find one that looks anything like it did when it first left the dealers.
Talk about your blank canvas', I think the Standard wrote the book on that one and to this day I can't figure out what they were smoking/drinking/thinking when they stopped production of them.
That sounds like a pretty good deal. I paid around $9K for my '02 with 5K miles BUT the original owner had dropped about $3K into Lozano Bros. SE upgrades to the engine as well as V&H Pro Pipe, HD windscreen and some other stuff.
I've only had it 7 months and appearance-wise it's already a completely different bike. Standards are for customizing
