I found a leftover 2012 in Urbana Il. Bought it for $5,000 and a '07 FXD. So, figure about $10,000 for a 16,000$ bike.
I'm 66 years old. I live in Terre Haue, In. I won't give my name - that would be ill-advised, in the extreme.
I've been lurking and asking questions on the COG site, which is where I found a link to this one.
The riding season is over. Plans for the winter include powder coating those ugly black wheels in some flavor of orange or silver with big metal flakes and clear coat and installing perelli angel tires. Canyon cages are being considered, as well.
Anything that will make this thing go faster has absolutely NO value, to me! I don't come anywhere close to using what I already have. I suspect I share that with most people that are honest, and sane
I've been looking for a bike I would not have to work on; one lacking a chain and carbs, a bike I can just ride, for a long time. I think I may finally have found it. I'm not looking forward to the 16,000 mile valve adjustment. I can handle it but getting the shims will be a problem.
I think my bike may have been dropped by the stealership. It has a silver kawasaki emblem on one side, but not the other. It had a rattle in the dash. I went looking for it. I found the bolt that holds the fairing on the right side was missing and the right mirror is broken where the rubber grommet nut mounts to it. I'll be contacting kawasaki about this, in the spring.
Has anyone else experienced anything like that?
