The old bike is slowly fading away. Corbin seat,chain and sprockets have gone to members here. The extended swingarm sold today on eBay.

I need to sell the lowered forks after the engine is fired.

The Tracy body is going to be modified by a friend of mine that is good with glass.

I will have a low riding street fighter. A very tame street fighter.

The blasted Kerker is trash and am going to have to do with a Mac.

My back is trash also. It is tough to think I will never be off pain meds.

I know the Kerker's are the gold standard, but those black 4-1 Mac's have a nice look for these bikes. That's what I'll be running on my race bike (mostly due to cash flow). They do sell a competition/race baffle for them too, if you want to be obnoxious.

PM my brother badkz77, he has my old V&H pipe. He took it off his bike due to a small dent in the collector, the chrome is nice and it has a baffle, I'm pretty sure he'd let it go cheap. It's on the bike in his build thread.

I bought the Tracy body years ago at the meet in Ohio. I need to do something today on the bike. I hope there is a fire built in the shop.

I was suppose to deliver a four wheeler I have cleaned the carbs and serviced. It's a 650 Kawasaki. Awsome .Big machine. It is pouring down raining. Roy

That's a good looking start Roy. I'm sorry to hear about your predicament, but it looks like you have a good source of therapy right there. Get that smooth looking bike on the road and I bet you can find someone willing to hop on the back with you!
