Re: What do you ride?

That's another fine example if I've ever seen one. :thumbup:
Glad you signed up John. I hope you'll come back often! I think I can say that for everyone else as well.

Re: What do you ride?
That is my horn. I always relocate them there. I point them towards the right. Easy install. Just add about 6" if wire and use the supplied bracket with the horn and done. I found the stock location in the way of the front vacuum port.

DM, I really like your new blue paint job. You really did good with that one. The burgundy bike is sweet as well, nice work! :thumbup:

Re: What do you ride?
Thank you. The color of my 88 is not my favorite color by any means. Especially since it is not a stock paint job. I am unsure the history of the bike but it was completely re-painted, quite crappily, prior to my ownership. The thing needs some TLC that I would love to give it but I don't have the funds for. It especially would not add any value to the bike either. Things like a new wiring harness and a paint job. The 87-88 models do seem to hold their value a bit better than all other years based on what KBB says. I just can't justify putting another $1000+ into the bike.YoDude9999 wrote:DM, I really like your new blue paint job. You really did good with that one.

Re: What do you ride?
1999 VS1400 GLP 4kmiles when bought 2 years ago. Only home 1 day a week. So now she is at 17k miles.
Here she is almost stock. Just added saddle bags and a seat prior to my 1st trip with my dad, little brother, and the ol' lady for a week of fun.
at our camp site.
After some time.
I grew tired of the monster Memphis Shades Fats after some time.
So as of about 2 weeks ago a local shop was shutting down I picked up a slim for only $75 OTD.

Re: What do you ride?
Jolsen, nice ride. I don't do really any distance riding but when I did commute 30 miles each way to work I had a National Cycles flyscreen on my VS800. I am considering another one for the 97 just for looks but I have other items on my list for the bikes that puts this at the bottom. That was a great deal on the Slim.

Re: What do you ride?
yeah they have helmets such a Bell Revolver for 90 bucks. All kinds of stuff super cheap. I wish I had the cash I would buy out the store and relist the stuff on ebay for profit.DMIntruder wrote:Jolsen, nice ride.

Re: What do you ride?
Here's my S83. Ain't she a beauty? That's 83cc's of raw 'seat of the pants' tire-smoking power!
Designer's springs are a wonderful thing.
Seriously...

Re: What do you ride?
My baby (well my other ride anyway ) as she currently sits.
If I can't find a bigger ride within a year, I'll convert her to a solo spring seat, slam it with some struts, finally put the apes and other exhaust back on. Best case scenario, I find someone who bought a 1400/1500 that they think is way to big. Do a straight trade, maybe some cash on my part and sell all the accessories I have laying around. At 6' 2", this baby just seems smaller and smaller every time I ride her.

Being 5'10", the Intruder is about my perfect size. No complaints yet anyway. :big grin:
