Hi all, I found this forum after finding out this bike is for sale. It belongs to a friend/co-worker of mine, I'm pretty sure I'm going to buy it, and I wanted the opinion of this forum.
He only wants $1k for it, and that seems like a pretty good price to me :dontknow:... It rides and runs great. It rattles at idle, but from what I've found on the forum it's something to do with the gears being straight cut. Is this correct? The rattle goes away as soon as you touch the throttle.
I know it needs tires, and plan on that if I get it.
The bad part: It has a rebuilt title, but my buddy bought it fixed in '04 and hasn't had any problems with it. It drives straight, and I figure that any problems that there would be would've come up by now.
Pics:
What can I do about the edges of the tach. curling up like that? Does it need to be completely replaced or can I put a new face on it?
I am new to this bike, but not new to motorcycling. My dad has 2 Harleys and I've taken one on vacation up the west coast of Michigan and down to Tennessee and North Carolina. I plan on taking this on vacation also! From what I've read it's not bad to do...
Thanks everyone!!!
