im getting my dream bike 98 after driving my 1990 for a year. won it on sleasebay and think i got a deal

http://cgi.ebay.com/...e=STRK:MEWNX:IT

anyone see it before...originally from minesota now in connecut?
excited...picking up next week.
and will be moving up in the forum topics

That looks like a very fair deal and interesting modifications.  Keep us posted.
#3
i think its decent price considering the mods...where i live there are no deals on bikes. stock 5th gen went and gone in hours for $3000
we'll see...keep post

Seems like a steal. I've seen a 5th gen on here before with the Wolf exhaust, but that's it.

Wonder why he didn't just get a garage.
#5
Congrats and great buy IMO, that Wolf exhaust is worth half the price itself. :smile:

Great grab, I was eyeballing that same one but for some reason convinced myself not to bid on it.  Congrats!
#7
Great deal IMHO.
The mods alone are worth what you have paid, so the bike is almost free.
Enjoy it.

P.S.
If I had extra cash sloshing around, I'd snatch this one up myself.

That is only a grand more than what I paid for a totaled 2000 with none of the add-ons. You have done very well.  Now put some paint on that hideous red primer.

You rescued a nice one from the wrath of a condo association!!!

Many many moons ago, I had to go to the USA for 5 weeks work. The company wanted to put me up in a condo. I read their website. It read "motorcycles and other unsightly garden equipment are not allowed".  So I stayed at the Sheraton instead. :laugh:
I didnot have a mc with me, but refuse to line their pockets...

#11
Congrats on the new bike and good deal with the mods.  Let us know how it sounds and rides!

Nice bike and nice exhaust, congrats.

Really bugs me that people allow apartments and condos to ban street legal motorcycles.
