Hello Pete, Send me your email address and I will send all the pics I have. The bike is in excellent condition , runs great, owned by a couple old guys. Shawn

12600 miles. 893/2000 badge. No engine or suspension mods. Garage queen, always stored inside and it shows, starts and runs as it should, no leaks. Front fork seals recently replaced. Only add ons are a small wind screen and lower set. I have original pegs and additional highwaybars. $4800...

I have a 2005 , I love it. Congratulations. Very nice machine!

I had some issues as well, 6'"2 265, 34 inseam . Put some forward controls on my 05 and it is a comfortable ride now.

I pulled the trigger and bought one. Hahaha!

I am following. Here in NC, chroming is not possible unless sent out of state.

Not mine but I thought someone might like it.

Nice! I had a loose clutch lever , that soft aluminum must have been levered on and made the hole out of round. I ended up drilling it out and putting in a brass sleeve/bearing to take up the slack. Those levers are nice!

Welcome! It was my dream bike as well and now I have one! Ride on!

That is nice! Any dyno sheets? Have fun and buy some back tires!

Good observation. I've been wondering why highdensity polyurethane bushings haven't been used but it could be the heat issue.

I know there is a general consensus that solid mounts can improve handling. I have read a boat load of threads on the subject. The question I have is replacing all six necessary? Has anyone just replaced the front 4? This will be my winter project. I would appreciate your opinions. Thanks.

Hahahahaha! I guess as we get older comfort becomes a very high priority! Keep on riding, at 79 my father was a hardcore biker. He passed from heat stroke summer of 2019 in Arizona, his baby was a RoyalStar Tour deluxe. I inherited it with 82k on it. Cross country was common for him.

The RefinedCycle FC9 kit was $320, it didn't come with toe pegs or foot pegs so you could buy them separately yourself or with the kit for an extra $60.

Nicely done! The riding position feels so much better on my hips. I would like to install some solid motor mounts as well for some handling improvements.
