Well, I went with the Evo. I looked at the twink & honestly, it was much ropier in person than in the pics. His opening line was that he'd "take four grand" Hard pass. The evo is just as nice in person as it is in the pics. Maybe better. 2 owners from new (father, then his 50 year old son) &...

Hmmmmm....... it's looking worse by the minute, isn't it.

Well, I just noticed something I missed in the photos before...... I wonder why the Twink has mismatched floor boards? I'm leaning further Evo by the minute.

It's because it's pretty though, isn't it.....

Not just riders, but folks that actually know what they're talking about. I'm off to look at 2 potential midlife criseses tomorrow & I'm trying to decide which would be the better bang for my buck. Both are $5,000, both have 23k on the clock, good tires & recent services, both are Heritage...

I mean, what could possibly go wrong. CBX2000.

Sorry, I was replying to the original post 🤦‍♂️ I didn't realize it was an old thread!

I was in the exact same position. I actually bought a spare seat, but you don't need to. Pull off the cover, carefully mark & trim the foam to your preferred profile (a long blade bread knife or hacksaw blade is ideal) you can make tiny adjustments & round of corners with a small surform. Then...

Absolutely! I'd love to see it!

$80, Japanese, FRP, E-bay pisspot for the win! No cheek padding at all & fits like a glove. Long live '70s technology! 😁

I'm sure you already know, but even if the reg/rec is fine and/or you're wanting to keep it in Concourse condition, switch that rascal out for a unit from a Honda CB250N. I don't know of a single GS back in England that hasn't had this done. When i worked in the shop back there (shit, 30 years...

Neither Craigslist nor an XS, but i figured someone might be interested. https://www.facebook.com/share/SUen5ZxjWanuG9nk/?mibextid=kL3p88

Ummmm......I know y'all jest, but in case you don't, you might want to look up the differences between Ether, Ethanol & Methanol 😉

Well, the petcock is still leaking a tiny amount. I attached a piece of clear, ¼" tubing with one end blocked off & it dribbled out 2" over the week & the vacuum shutoff passed the "give it a quick suck" test. That'll do for now. I stuck the carbs to the tank with the tap on prime & left them...

My wife just caught me ripping all the armor out of my new leather jacket. "But what if you crash?!" If I wanted to be safe, I wouldn't be tooling about on old motorbikes!

How talented a mechanic are you, first of all? A, these are old bikes. Very few shops work on them as standard. B, Maybe 10% of those few shops will touch a chop. C, It's GOING to break. Shit will fall off, crack & vibrate loose. Custom bikes are my true love, but you genuinely have to be able...

Well.......spit. 😡
