Here's a couple of photos. Sorry it took me so long to figure it out -today was my first day off since posting the ad!

Not much interest so far - is the price out of line ? It's less than I paid last year ,and way less than KBB.

I like how you did the reflective tape on the back of the bags - very nicely done.  I'm gonna do that with mine.  The painted end caps with stripes do make that potato launcher a bit more tolerable visually - better than stock or the blacked out look.  Although most prospective buyers probably will swap in an aftermarket can anyway.

Even though you don't have many farkles, Try to strip and sell them off separately to make a bit of money to offset the loss you'll take on the bike.  They don't add much, if any to the value.  A clean stock bike broadens the appeal for your bike.

Income taxes should be returning soon, except those that have to pay  >:(, that should help.

Thanks for the bump ,BAMA . Yeah , its an awesome bike -hate to sell it.
I don't know about the tax refund thing-I got mine already , and found out if you don't make much money,you don't get much of a refund !
Lot of people might be in the same circumstances .

So... how do you like the Wing ? ;D

Price drop

Looked at the tires after a trip to Bike Week ,and although they ain't bad ,they ain't new .

Will lower the price by  $300 to allow for a new set- your choice of brand  ;D.

And you still get to run these Angels down the rest of the way.

Also replaced the battery before the ride -no problems ,but I was going by myself ,and I hate to be stranded !

New price---$6900 . 

If this don't sell it , it's goin' on craigslist - wish me luck with some of those folks !  ::)

Bump and up update on the bike.
It now has a new Pirelli Angel on the back .It's set for tires for quite some time.

Also , in the original post I mentioned that it had a couple of scuffs on the bags . Well , tried a new polish called  Quixx ,and I can't see 'em anymore.

Good stuff .It comes with 2 tube of polish ,a fine one and a courser one , The fine polish and a little rubbing was all it took. I recommend it. Although as always , YRMV. Always read the instructions !

Y'all be careful out there !
