I didn't like the sound of the Cobra's. I have Delkevic mufflers on it now.

Mine was $3200 with 17,000 miles. Only thing previous owner did was install cobra exhaust tips. I think I've had it about 4 years now.

I didn't want to be as savage as you guys, but I agree on all the comments. ;)

That seems a bit high. I would clean it up real well. It looks like it needs some TLC. If I could get that for mine, I'd probably sell it! Good luck.

I got the decal on eBay. I can't remember the size, but it's real close to the original.

SOMEBODY got it already. I would have liked to have seen it. Bummer.

There's a machine at my office, similar to what pharmacies have. I check mine on a regular basis. It's usually about what yours is.

I got this one on eBay. Not as bright as I'd like, but I think it fits under the fender very well. It also works as a turn signal, so no I have 2 lights to let people know to try not to hit me.

Mission, TX.

Thanks all! The wheel striping was bought on eBay. I'm not liking this particular brand. Even using a heat gun on them, they won't stay down correctly. They give just enough to do the bike with maybe one piece left over. I didn't paint the aluminum on the scoops as I did want some silver...

I really didn't like the silver on the bike, and after I saw my first yellow Max, I decided that was the color I would paint mine. Probably not the exact same color. Mine is Valspar "Gold Abundance," with purple to green changing accents. I also wanted a quarter fairing and settled on this...

I used to live in San Antonio, and you could get picadillo tacos everywhere. Down here on the border, it's not very popular. In fact, when I ask for it, I get a poor representation of what I'm used to.

I should have looked at where you're from. Cuban food! I've never tried it, but it looks like a variation of the Mexican food we have here. It looks good! I'll have to find a Cuban restaurant around here. Sorry for hijacking this thread, but food is better than fighting, right?

What does ropa vieja translate to? Where I'm from, it would be "Old Clothes." Just trying to keep things lite, and I'm one that has Cobras on his bike, but I've already been scoping out something else.

My factory headlight did fill the opening on the fairing, so I'm hoping the new one will as well. I was surprised. I was expecting this nasty gap. I have a plan if the new headlight looks small. If I need to make something, like grommets, I'll go to Home Depot and get what I need. Looking...

I found an aftermarket 5.75" headlight bucket w/wings (ears) on eBay. This is the fairing. It's smaller than it appears. I'll post pictures when I have it completed. Since I just ordered the headlight parts, it'll be a couple of weeks at least.

That would be nice to know. I bought another one I'm trying to fit, but since the headlight isn't mounted on wings, I have to figure out a way to bring the headlight out about 3 inches. However, I don't know how that will look IF I can do it.

I haven't really posted here much, but I did want to make you aware (if not already) about the aftermarket brake and clutch master cylinder caps on eBay. I bought a pair of the black with silver "etched" Vmax on them about a year back. They are not powder coated, they are painted or covered in...

I'm surprised nobody has just said "quit riding at 100 mph", lol. I got mine up to about 125 a few weeks ago, and it felt rock solid. I would have pushed it further, but something told me to back down, so I did.

Thank you! I have a tribute to a Wes Cooley replica. MOTORCYCLIST magazine did a feature back in 1986 where they took a 1982 GS1100G, stripped it down, repainted it, and added a few items such as a Supertrapp header, rearsets, and new ignition. This is the bike. It was an article essentially...
