If I remember right, maybe a year ago, I think the going price for the cases was right about $3400 or in that neighborhood.:huh: How many do you think you need? One for the bike and a spare to set in the living room for a conversation piece?:) That's the cheap part of the motor!!!

I had a chance at a cast set of cases like that quite a while back. Jerry? Graves was selling them.
They were nice but as with the new ones you need a starter cart or push the dam thing to use them. Not a good idea for the street as none I've seen offer kick or electric start provisions. DAM!
