      Yea, the tool bag is kind of a mini saddlebag. Cool.

        Cream Puff

        Interesting asking price. Is that a black front fender?

            That asking price would be more in line if it still had the OEM exhaust. Aside from that, a nice lookin' scoot!

              yeah but it is a nice Jardine...so I dont think it will detract from the asking price in the least...indeed a nice looking scoot

                May not, but the noise would be annoying to me other than using the bike locally. Just spoiled I guess, accustomed to decades of that low hum of the stock exhaust while rolling hour on end at 4500-5K out on the slab.

                  well one man's noise is another man's music...I love the sound of the Jardine...never had one but i did have an awesome sounding Kerker on my XJ...to me the bike's personality is subdued by the stock sounding exhaust. I used to loved blipping my throttle and making the bike "bark" did that to all the Hardleys...made 'em look too As for long distance jaunts thats what you have the ST for

                    It's nice, but cream puff, it ain't. Price is high. Rusty bits have been painted. Foot peg covers are trashed. Etc., etc. At the asking price, I'd tear it apart.
