HISTORY:
I BOUGHT
THE BIKE
IN 2000
WHEN IT
HAD
ABOUT
13,500
MILES ON
IT AND
HAVE PUT
ABOUT
23, 000
MILES ON
IT
SINCE.
THE
CURRENT
ODOMETER
READING
IS
36,465.
THE
BIKE HAS
PROVEN
ITSELF
BOTH
RELIABLE
AND
COMFORTABLE
FOR ME
AT 6’0’’
RANGING
IN
WEIGHT
FROM A
HIGH OF
268 TO A
CURRENT
225,
(APPLAUSE
WELCOMED!).
;-)
OUR
TRAVELS
HAVE
BEEN TO
STURGIS,
AROUND
LAKE
SUPERIOR
AS WELL
AS
HITHER,
THITHER
AND YON,
WITH NO
PROBLEMS.
AT LEAST
NONE
OTHER
THAN THE
TIME I
RAN OVER
A NAIL
IN THE
YARD.
THE
FIRST
FALL
THAT I
HAD THE
BIKE,
SOME
TURKEY
TAPPED
MY
HINDER
AT A
STOP
SIGN,
THE BIKE
FELL
OVER AND
SUFFERED
SOME
COSMETIC
DAMAGE.
I
SUFFERED
NARY A
BRUISE,
BUT THE
BIKE
ACQUIRED
A NEW
GAS
TANK,
REAR
FENDER,
TAIL
LIGHT
ASSEMBLY
AND
HIWAY
BARS.
THERE
WAS NO
FRAME OR
MECHANICAL
DAMAGE
AND I
PUT ON
20,000+
MILES
AFTER
THAT
FALL.
(PUN
INTENDED.)
CONDITION:
I
POSSESS
A SEVERE
ALLERGY
TO PAIN
AND
INTENSELY
DISLIKE
THE
SIGHT OF
(MY OWN)
BLOOD,
THUS
HAVE
KEPT THE
BIKE
WELL
MAINTAINED
AND IN
GOOD
CONDITION.
IT COMES
TO YOU
WITH
LESS
THAN 5
MILES ON
NEW FORK
SEALS,
LESS
THAN 500
MILES ON
THE
TIRES,
IN FACT
THE REAR
STILL
SHOWS
PRODUCTION
MARKINGS
AND A
LESS
THAN 2
YEAR OLD
BATTERY
FOR AN
1100
VIRAGO.
I
MODIFIED
THE
BATTERY
COMPARTMENT
TO HOLD
THE
LARGER
BATTERY
SO AS TO
PROVIDE
MORE
POWER/RESERVE.
THERE
TIS ALSO
SILVER
(MATCHES
THE
FORKS)
HIWAY
SIGN
REFLECTIVE
TAPE ON
THE
LOWER
FRONT
FORKS
FOR
ADDITIONAL
VISIBILITY
AT NIGHT
AND THE
SIDE
COVERS
HAVE
SAFETY
WIRES TO
PREVENT
LOSS IF
THEY
COME
LOOSE.
THE BIKE
TIS
LISTED
AS TEAL
GREEN IN
COLOR
BUT NOT
MENTIONED
IS THAT
IT IS
“TEAL
GREEN
WITH
SPARKLIES".
THE
SPARKLIES
WOULD, I
IMAGINE,
IMMEDIATELY
DISQUALIFY
ONE FROM
MEMBERSHIP
IN THE
“WILD
BUNCH”.
THERE
ARE, OF
COURSE
SOME
MINOR
SCRATCHES
AND
PAINT
CHIPS
AND THE
BRAKE
PEDAL
HAS 4
SMALL
HOLES
DRILLED
WHERE I
HAD
ATTACHED
A RISER
WHEN I
WAS
EXPERIMENTING
WITH
FLOORBOARDS.
THE
EXHAUST
HAS SOME
BLUING.
THERE
ARE NO
FABRIC
TEARS,
PLASTIC
CRACKS,
DENTS,
GOUGES
OR
SCRAPES.
IN MY
HUMBLE
OPINION
IT IS IN
MUCH
BETTER
SHAPE
THAN
MOST
OTHER 95
BIKES.
GOODIES:
A
NATIONAL
CYCLE
DEFLECTOR
SCREEN,
ALL
AMERICAN
RIDER
SADDLE
BAGS,
CHROME
SADDLE
BAG
SUPPORTS
AND
HIWAY
BARS
WITH
HIWAY
PEGS AND
A
TUNEABLE
SUPERTRAPP
EXHAUST
SYSTEM.
EXTRAS:
YOU GET
4 EXTRA
FORK
SEALS
WHICH
WON’T BE
NEEDED
FOR
AWHILE
GIVEN
THE NEW
ONES AND
AN EXTRA
HEADLIGHT
BULB
WHICH I
KEPT AS
A SPARE
FOR WHEN
CAMPING
IN THE
BOONIES.
ALSO, FOR
YOUR
INSTALLATION
PLEASURES
YOU GET
A SET OF
PROGRESSIVE
FORK
SPRINGS
AND A
K&N
CARBURETOR
RE-CALIBRATION
KIT #
819120.
I
NEVER
GOT
AROUND
TO
INSTALLING
EITHER
AS THE
BIKE
PERFORMED
QUITE
WELL
WITHOUT
THE
ADDITIONAL
FIDDLING.
REASON
FOR
SELLING
INVOLVES
DIFFERENT
MOTORCYCLE
INTERESTS
WHICH
MAY BE
FOUND
AT
GRUBYGUST.COM
PLEASE
LOOK AND
READ
CAREFULLY,
ASK
QUESTIONS
AND BE
SURE
THIS IS
WHAT YOU
WANT.
THE
SUCCESSFUL
BIDDER
WILL
NEED TO
HELP ME
WITH
SPRING
GARAGE
CLEANING
BY
PICKING
UP THE
BIKE OR
ARRANGING
SHIPPING
WITHIN 7
DAYS OF
THE
CLOSE OF
THE
AUCTION.
HAVE A
GOOD
SPRING
TIME AND
RIDING
SEASON |
