On Halloween, I had a •••••• day. Dad's Harley was stolen, his cat died, and the woman I was dating broke up with me. This weekend was great! I used some of the insurance check for a new tattoo, or two!   Then, this followed me home  Plus I met a woman who rides a H-D Lowrider and who's dad is an old flat tracker who owns a small used bike dealer/repair shop nearby! | ||

 What the HELL? Didja steal my Sprint? THAT damn well looks like British Racing Green... Guess we gotta see who's got the or'ginal bike down in Suches, in March... | ||

I need to get the left fairing fixed up, it's got a chunk missing. I may end up going the Plasti Dip route on the body work. | ||

Talk to Vern first- he should have some leftover paint from doing my bike! | ||
| Thumper74 |
It came with some spare parts too! A couple sets of body panels, the Triumph carbon fiber can, handlebar risers, Zero G tall windshield, adjustable cam sprockets, etc. I HAD some paint, but used it all painting the luggage to match for him a couple of years ago, but I don't have the can or lid anymore. Think Vern has the formula? It also needs a new left mirror, but it was cheap! | ||

You got the CF exhaust can? Are ya hanging onto it? If not, let me know- I've been wanting to replace the stocker, see about getting a sweeter song. It sounds OK stock, but boy, does a triple sound awesome with the right exhaust! Vern does have a some paint leftover- his supplier found a '70's code for British Racing Green, when he got the can it said "Jaguar" on it! Post up all the junk that came with the bike, just out of curiosity. And let me know if you find a good source for other good junk. I'm waiting to get an ECM cable shipped to me, gotta figure out an engine trouble code... | ||

I did get the can. He put it back to stock to sell it, but ended up giving me everything with the bike. I heard that thing with the CF pipe on it alllll the way to Suches, GA more than once and I'll be keeping that one... I was told that that the cable just used an automotive OBDII style plug at the bike. I have a cable that 'should' work, but I'll find out more when I get around to it.

Dang. I knew better than to hope for that can... do tell if you find a source for a decent one for good money, or if you decide to sell. Reading the reviews for the cable, you're prolly right- some car dudes remarked that it would work on a Subaru and such, one with a little pin piddling for proper fit. I've got the Triumph soft bags, pretty impressed with them, plus a Givi tank bag that mounts to the tank filler ring- schweeet! Also got 1" risers, the zero G windscreen, installed new tires/brakes/chain/sprockets... Got plans for Glitch Badness?    | ||

I'm planning on requesting the time off after my boss gets back from vacation next week. You better not be planning on stealing my pipe! | ||

Naah- only if you're faster... | ||
| Thumper74 |
I don't think you need to worry about that! | ||
