Nice looking bike. Does it take a lot of elbow grease to keep it shiny.
Wanna trade for a set of chrome passenger bracket?

Wire tucks are nothing to be skeered of...they are easier with the 2.1 gallon tank than the other tanks also.

Here's a link of step-by-step instructions with pics-

I am pretty sure I have the black rubber ones in a box in my garage, don't think I would have tossed them. Pretty sure I still have the stock solo seat and bars sitting around too. I sold the stock black swing arm and bare aluminum fork legs however.


If the bike is still available when you're ready it's all yours. First person with money in-hand takes it. Since I live in Chicago the bike is just sitting in my garage on a battery tender so there should not be many if any additional miles placed on it between now and spring. I start it up once every week or two and let it idle for 5 minutes and shake the gas around so no settling or separation of the fuel occurs.

Default Hmmm...

In my search for the right one, I'm pretty damn sure I saw your bike for sale from a dealer in Bloomington... Is it true? Did you trade it already? Or consignment maybe?
