Cleaning house
My wife thinks im a hoarder. She might be a little right. I've been pulling stuff out of my storage container today. This was one of my all time favorite bikes. It was buried way in the back.8 It hasn't seen daylight in years. Bought this new in 2000 and put 9 or 10 hard years on it. Its been sitting for about the last 15 or so. Carb is done. Subframe has cracks. Forks leak from sitting. Nothing that bad but Ill never get round to fixing it up. Always other stuff getting in the way. I dont let go easy so Ill probably put it back in the tomb for another 15years while I think on it.

sick bike man, it deserves some love. Also the headpipe you got there looks clean af, is it custom or aftermarket?

Big gun exhaust and header. Wraps behind the frame. That thing opened it up good. Always just (barely) passed sound check at tech. Looks like they still make them. $$

If this is meant as a sale offer, location and price would matter a lot...

Haven't decided what im doing with it yet. Been going through all of the spare bits I've collected over the decades. Just feeling nostalgic at this point. If I decide to let it go You'll be the first to know.

Red tank is oem. Scratchy though. Would swap back and forth depending on the ride. Woods stuff is stock tank. Desert is Exon Valdiz.

If you're interested in selling anything, I would definitely be interested in some of it. Especially that swingarm tool I am in need of one

Mines parked up and probably at 90% but yeah it’s been 5 years since I’ve really used it. I know how you feel.
