Post by: rocket23 on April 28, 2013, 03:02:01 PM: Ocourse with a 6 year barn find..the seat ''mike corbin'' was in need of repair. I farmed that out for 90 bucks, The farings and windscreen were beyond repair......fiberglass cracked and broken, I decided too modify the triple tree with a kinda new look, an after market parts.

Post by: rocket23 on April 28, 2013, 03:13:09 PM: I had a more better write up, but that web site went bye-bye, Seems the heart of the site (Shannon ) was killed in a freak motorcycle accident, back in 2005.......and the site limped along and then dropped out, off the net.
(www.bmwforums.net (http://www.bmwforums.net)) It's not an active site and is not able to load.

Post by: rocket23 on April 28, 2013, 04:32:23 PM: Last but not least was the rear shock, it was spent. So I found one for just under 200 bucks. And it's a progressive.
