I thought the price was good, then she pulled out all the original parts, and original service records. One owner, garage kept, couldn't ask for a sweeter deal. Rear pads are glazed. Pedal is firm, just no friction between pads and rotor. Maybe they got some wax or Armor-All on things... I'll just sand the rotor and put new pads on it, cheap and easy enuf. Other than that, ready to ride.

Sweet! Now you be careful on that thing.

A guy can get hurt at least as badly as getting shot . . . that's based on first hand knowledge. And, no, I have never been shot.

I have a portable quick detachable accessory rear seat mount that sports a pair of 40 cals! I keep telling her... nice carriage and trunnions.... she's clueless. She's British.

All for fewer dollars than an Gibson R7 Les Paul would set you back (even at deep 40% off discount).

The bike, not the twin 40 cal mount... with carriage and trunnions.

Nice bike.
This one keeps catching my eye.
Used to ride a Triumph 650 in high school.
All my buddies got killed or maimed on the mean streets of L.A.
So I stopped riding before my number came up too.
Be careful and stay alive.

Very nice. I like what they did with the front end on that.
Lower, and the big tire... very worthy. Wouldn't give a 2c for that seat tho.... owww.

Very Nice. That seat would have to go though unless your going on road trip or your bride rides with you. Then we're talking a different story. The brake pads I'd just trash them, and pick up some Lyndall Dustless Z pads for it front and rear. I use them on my Roadking and it sure makes a big difference when your cleaning spoke wheels. Those wheels are to nice to have to much brake dust on them. The rotor I'd just spray some Brake free not to be confused with Break Free on a rag and wipe any wax or what ever it is on there off. Do not spray near your paint though. http://lyndallracingbrakes.com/ Good Luck, Ride Safe.

Nice ride! I'd definitley put a Mustang seat on that.

I sold my bike earlier this year. Too many people getting picked off by cagers on cell phones and texting, and I have a 5 and 8 year old, so I am just going to wait till they are about grown and spring for a Road King.

That harley davidson 48 trips my trigger, but I just can't see riding much anymore. Too dangerous.

Sadly, me also. That's been my excuse for the last 22 years. That and less than excellent year round weather and the ability to lane split that I enjoyed in L.A. However, once I clear 70 in the next year and a half and actually fully retire I figure dangerous no longer counts and all bets are off.
