I took those pictures as soon as I pulled in the driveway. I was that excited.
The previous owner said that he had a miss and that a bike shop in Kenosha Wisconsin told him it needed a rebuild. I saw the paperwork and it almost 4K worth of work done and looks like the top end only was freshened up, the Supertrapps were added, and some carb work was done. The bike runs really well and I found he had a tollway pass mounted on the bike and if you ever go on the Illinois Tollway, it's like a raceway and I'm sure he put a lot of miles on it that way. The bike has 45K on it, but is super clean and I can't find any damage on it. Overall I'm please with my purchase and I ordered some new grips, tires, and a Yamaha throttle cable today at the dealer, to put on before winter hibernation. I'm seriously thinking of adding some forward controls to my bike as my hip and back aren't liking the position of the factory set up.
What handlebars do you recommend? I'm open to suggestion and want to make my bike more comfortable.
Thank you and I like them too. At first, I was kind of missing the look of the stock exhaust, but the Supertrapps give it a great sound and look cool as well.
Umm, just do your research according to dimensions and style. Dia of the tube is 22mm. Mine is what was called a mini apehanger when I bought it.
I do my own research, in fact a lot of it, and was just asking personal opinions of what works for those who have went with different from what the factory did. Your bike looks really sweet, but those bars aren't the look I'm going for. I did just order my forward controls and hopefully they arrive soon and I'll install them as soon as I can. Thank you for posting the picture and you have a bike to be proud of.
