BACKSTORY: I bought this bike in March of 2007, and by December of 2007 I had over 18,000 miles on it. Since then my riding has slackened off a bit, and currently, family and other activities mean I don't ride it very often, so it is time to sell. This bike is loaded with all kinds of extra's and customizations, but for the most part you can keep or remove pretty much everything depending on your tastes. I intended to take it to Alaska, but I've taken this on several 1,000 mile/day rides, ridden it in Mexico and a whole bunch of states. So the mods on this bike were designed to enhance overall functionality and comfort. I'm 6' 2" with a 34 inch inseam, and I've set this bike up for solo touring with a fairly upright posture. THE MODS: 1. TRAILTECH HID lights on custom light moun (Adventure motostuff) . Note: one bulb is burned out, however, the ballast is still good and has a lifetime warranty.2.Murphs fork brace3. Engine guards (I'm sorry, I can't remember which brand)4. Headlight cutout switch. Cuts out one low beam headlight to allow you to run additional accessories, such as a heated jacket. Can be set to come on with the high beams, or manual override (ON)5. Thermometer6. Radiator and Oil cooler guards7. Bash plate (Adventure motostuff)8. Highway pegs (Adventure Motostuff) which mount on bash plate and can be folded up when not in use.9. Accessory Blue Sea fuse box under seat to make adding accessories easier, and to keep things properly fused and organized.10. Auxillary Jump Terminals. Should you ever need to jump your battery on a trip for some reason, this makes it super easy. Also easy to hook up the bike to a trickle charger to keep the battery up if you don't ride it.11. Compressor (not pictured) runs off of battery to allow you to air your tires up and down as needed on a trip. This has saved my bacon several times in the past!12. Aerostich tire repair kit. (not pictured) Comes with CO2 cartridges and what not. Never used it.13. Centerstand (SUZUKI)14. Wolfman Tank Bag (comes with rain cover)15. Sheepskin pad16 Custom Seat. This is flat all the way back with no dip, allowing you to move back and forth as desired. It is soft and plush, and considerably higher than stock. I love it, but you may hate it so can't say if this is a plus or minus for you.17 Loobman attachment point. You'll need to get another one, but much of the setup is completed. You can look this up but it is a sort of chain oiler. I got 24,000+ miles out of my first chain thanks to this little oiler. Unfortunately, I've lost some of the parts.18. Voltmeter (in dash)19. AUX 12V outlet, (in Dash)20. 6 Windshields. Right now, I've got a Suzuki stock with Laminar lip. Works well for winter. For summer, I switch to some sort of little black plastic shorty shield. This is pretty sweet. You also have 4 other shields to try out. Suzuki tall, National Cycle Vstream, Windstom, California Scientific, and a windstrom lip. Should be something in there for you!21. MADSTAD Bracket. To adjust rake and hight of any windshield without tools.22. Powerlet Heated Jacket, and related components. Comes with the bike. If it fits (size Large) then you are in luck!23. Hippo Hands hand guards. For really cold days.24. Renthal bars and risers, with custom brake hose. This setup is about as tall and back as you can make it without changing out the cables. Works for me, but maybe not for you if you are shorter.25. Extras, such as bike covers, extra hand guard, original tail rack, and probably more. Manuals as well. Now, about the luggage: I wanted to be able to lock up my luggage, but was on a budget, so I ended up building my own rack setup. This is the "Mark II." It survived Moab, Utah in conditions where a commercially made rack fell apart on another guy's bike, so this thing is very strong. Mounted on the rear are two Pelican 1550 cases, and a 1620 case. These cases are purposely mounted as far forward as possible to keep the weight centered over the wheels. I've loaded heavy tools, camping gear, and everything you could imagine on this setup and ridden it for thousands of miles without any problems whatsoever. Taken it up to 110+mph with no problems. The 1550's are held on with small locks or pins, depending on your preference, so you can quickly remove them and carry them around as desired. The 1620 is also held on with pins as well. Up front are two Storm Case iM2300. These are a bit smaller than the back cases, but again, I've had them loaded up with a laptop, all of the bike's "self rescue" equipment, and other stuff so they are better than paniers as they are waterproof. The right side is set up to allow a cord to pass through a small gap, which lets you charge up an electronic device or laptop using the 12V outlet. They are held on with bolts so removing them requires tools. They are mounted on the engine guards. You can remove easily should you wish to do so. Basically, you have more waterproof, lockable storage than a Goldwing, it is indestructible and adds protection to the bike and possibly the rider, and would not cost a fortune to replace it should you somehow manage to destroy a Pelican. Again, I've ridden with this setup for more than 25,000 miles. The only drawbacks are terrible fuel economy when travelling above 100mph, and a second passenger might be a bit cramped. Should you wish to remove all of it, the original luggage rack is included and you can revert back to the "sport bike" setup in less than 15 minutes. The bike does have some damage due to a lowside in December of 2007. One of the plastic fairings is scratched up, and the fork is also ground down a bit. That was about it. I've tried to photograph the damage. There are also a number of stickers on the bike. This will either add to the character of your bike or drive you nuts, so I'm naturally hoping you love it. Many of these are places I've been to, or brands that I've used. Maintainence History: The bike has recieved regular Oil and filter changes every 3,000 miles. Whenever the bike has been stored, the oil was changed, fuel stabilizer was added, and the battery has been hooked up to a tender. Basically, all service has been done according to the manual. The valves were checked and adjusted last at 28,000 miles, give or take. The chain is #3 I think, and the tires are decent. Please see the penny photos. I'd say the rear has a bunch more tread than the front, but both were replaced about a year ago, and not ridden on much since. Please do not hesitate to ask questions. As you can see, I've done a lot to this bike to make it functional and comfortable. This bike is ready to go across the country, or even out of the country. Fly in and ride it home. I'll even pick you up at the airport if i'm off work!
