8 tanks of gas, 56 hours round-trip and 2600 miles...totally worth the trip.

S1W, 15k miles, pretty well taken care of, going through it now for the usual issues, shock is toast and shopping for a Penske or Works replacement. Has Banke shift and brake levers, S&S Super E carb.

Looks great to me but that S&S makes my right knee hurt just looking at it.

Yeah, I'd be at least swapping that around.

NICE!

The air filter doesn't go with the rest of it, but personal preference...

I am thinking of getting that air filter for my M2 because it is more weather proof.

The stock M2 airbox is very weather proof.

Thanks everyone! I ordered the Penske shock this week along with new intake seals & jets for the S&S (running rich and won't idle below 2000) I'll change the oil this weekend also.

I'm not a fan of that air cleaner either and most likely will get a Forcewinder, so if anyone wants the S&S (support bracket is broke) make me an offer : )

Very nice bike,

Ditch the V&H and the S&S install a Mikuni, and better muffler (plenty to choose from) & stretch them arms!!

But, considering that you picked an S1 for your first tuber.....YOU MUST find a stock seat to get the full effect!!

Ride safe,
Chris

I got the stock air box on one of my M2's, I have a hard time getting used to the looks, put a Force Winder (love it) on my other bike but concerned about getting caught in the rain. If you decide to get rid of the S & S air filter, let me know.

You can buy a "sock" for the Forcewinder filter if you're concerned about water.

I should confess I actually replaced the K&N on my Force clone with one of these Free Spirit air filters, a couple months ago. Not because of the weatherproofness, but saw a test where they outperformed K&N, and they don't use oil. It's analogous to the difference between gore-tex and waxed cotton for a riding jacket.

Ken, pm'd

James, thanks for procrastinating : )

I had passed on calling on it earlier in the week because at that price I figured it was already gone or a typo. Fortunately he'd taken it to a shop because it wouldn't start and meanwhile had pulled the CL ad. He got it back Friday afternoon and I was there Saturday 9 am
