  • New seat....a real Craigslist find!

    I just had to brag a little. I always peruse the motorcycle section on Craigslist, just to see what's out there. I happened across an add that advertised a seat for an XS1200. I knew that was wrong, but figured I'd better take a look. It turned out to be a perfect seat for and XS1100SF. The guy was asking $50, but I bought it for $35. What a find.

    Here is a picture of the bike with the old seat on it. As you can see it's not bad, but not as perfect as the CL find.

    Way to go!

    Nice score.

    Now to find a bike to go with one "pretty good" seat.

        Denial

        Hey...who said I was "addicted"?

        Do I need an intervention? Probably a 12-step program.

        At the Rally next weekend I will start one...


        Nice bike BTW!
