Shameless Bump

Bump...My new bike arrives soon, please don't make me own two bikes. Surely you guys must know someone who wants a primo V-Twin. I went from a 250 up to this bike, extremely forgiving. Well set up, and immaculate bike. Looks great with the full fairings.

Mind if I ask where you got the full fairing kit from and how much? Also, I've heard fitting these can cause over heating, any truth to that?

I bought the lowers off Just Fairings http://justfairings.co.nz/cms1/includes/languages/english/html_includes/index.php They needed some modification to the bottom, so they did not hit the ground, whilst riding hard. FWIW, when I rang the guy who owns the business, to tell him of the problem, he did not really give a fuck. So I doubt if I would deal with him again. Cost was around $600.00 I think.

What colour is your bike. I am thinking of trading this, if they don't give me what I want for a trade, then I will sell the fairings seperately. Along with the Tail Tidy and the Hugger. BUT, I am still waiting to hear from the new bike people.

Temp runs at 89 during the summer. Dosen't appear to run much hotter than normal.

yeah 89 sounds normal. Mine's blue, so will have to look elsewhere. Might be interested in the pack rack. Good luck with your sale. They are a great bike. What tempted you away from the SV?

Judging by the little pic in his signature, I'd say the lucky bastard's got himself a 675R. Yummmmmmmyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!

As White trash has pointed out, and if the bloody thing ever arrives, I have a 675R coming.
