Not much to add here. Year doesn't usually bother me as most of the shortcomings for any year can be addressed. The 93 and up had the larger forks and brakes though we can sell you adapters to give the early years far better brakes then the later years. 99 was the first year for the shift segment upgrade though it can be retro installed into any of the earlier years with a simple clutch removal. 90 and up had the better starters and ignition systems. The starters are easy to swap but not very easy to swap the harness/ignition stuff. Still, nothing I would worry too much about.
It may not be practical but we do have 2 bikes we will be selling at some point (no hurry to sell either one). Both a probably higher then you would be looking for (I think) and again shipping might be an issue (though we could ship it to someone right on the boarder area and have you drive there to pick it up).
Here's the 99 -0 $6000 (and up):

Note the current paint and chromed side covers/scoops will not be going with it. I can put some on if you like and we can discuss the prices on it. We will provide a fresh paint job in the color of your choice (we really like the new BASF Candy paints). We can even put stripes (or a single stripe) on it if you want. See pics in the Morleys Muscle paint section (on facebook and on the forum).
We just completed doing a 1300 conversion on the bike and have maybe 500 miles on it now (maybe). Runs/rides great. I attached a spreadsheet showing the 1300 build options. This is the entry level option with optional solid mounts and HD oiling system. We do currently have a custom coil clutch spring conversion with one of our clear clutch covers on it to show off the red chromed conversion. It would be a little extra to keep that or we can put the double d clutch parts in place for no extra.
Nothing special about the wheels/tires at this point. I do have a set of black 2007 wheels I could install or we can get some custom wheels from RC Comp for you. The front forks are 2002 units with Racetech internals and 1" internal lowering kit. Stock shocks out back (though you can go to our website to see what we sell new progressives for). Brand new seat made up by us (only has that limited amount of miles on it and the wife hasn't even got a chance to ride on the rear yet). We installed on of our "superbike" bars that are popular along with the new Driven racing D3 grips we sell.
The chrome grabrail will stay on the bike. Master cylinders I think were from an 05.
It currently has a 4-1 hindle with a cut down Holeshot muffler. The muffler is a bit more restrictive then I would like so it can be changed out. That will help it run stronger (though you can ask the guys in Eureka springs if they thought it was a turd - lol). It also has one of our Muscle Jet kits. As it currently sits I think it could use a slightly larger main but I think with the higher flowing muffler that will help that out.
We could paint the bike all the candy red which would look good with the clutch cover or even a black. BUT, as noted about any color is up to you.
My father in law is considering selling his 85 $6000 (and up):
Pictures of it are also on the muscle site (maroon bike with large mufflers)
As noted on the boards this bike was built for a friend 3 years ago and my father in law ended up with it. We black chromed almost everything on it. The paint is a custom burgundy though it has a nick in it now (not sure if we can touch it up well but we can try). Other then that nick in the tank cover it's almost in perfect condition. Huyabusa brake conversion (6 piston and larger rotors), don't remember if we have progressive springs in those forks. Black coated wheels. 2005 Engine (with the early flywheel and pickup installed) with solid motor mounts. Custom modified exhaust with big high flow mufflers (super deep sounding). I think it was a walker exhaust system before we started with it. One of our Muscle jet kits. Made 125 rwhp (I think actually was 127). Very good condition tires. Progressive 430 shocks 11.5" long. Cut down sidestand. Did I mention a lot of black chrome? Venture rear diff (10% reduction in rpm). Notched, braced, and black coated swingarm. Black painted rear diff. Napolean mirrors. Kuryakyn grips with palm rests. A euro bar we sell (similar to stock but wider for more leverage). Black coated crash bars. And probably more I can't remember. The pictures on facebook do not show the most current seat, shocks, crash bars, or stand but gets you an idea what you are looking at. I charged my buddy $7500 to build this and that did not include any of my labor since it was a friend deal.
