Description

This bike was bought and titled/registered in 2004 in Orlando. Florida and has been kept in a garage since its original purchase.   It has many customised pieces on it including Kuryakyn grips. Hypercharger. nbsp;Yamaha floorboards. Bub pipes. nbsp;'Easy Bracket' fittings for saddlebags. Indian Head Nickel saddlebags custom made by Latherworks in Stockton. California (they're brown with fringing and red piping).   There is a hole at the base of one of the bags where it has been sitting on the pipes.   It could be repaired from the inside with a thick piece of leather.   Bags hold loads and have a carry handle on the top.   The windshield has a matching bag on it.   Windshield is etched with skull logo on it which says 'We Don't Play Well With Others' (there's a story there folks).   The bike has been in the UK since 2006 and was registered very recently.   It has a long MOT and is taxed for six months.

The paint job is Volkswagen Beetle green with red and white pinstriping and red lion rampants on side covers.   it was done in the US by a guy who normally painted street rods.  I gave him some pictures of Mackintosh jewellery and buildings and this is what he came up with.   It really is sharp-looking and distinctive.   Some of the chrome does need attention (it could either be painted or removed) - the worst of it is on the Kuryakyn spotlight covers.   These lights also have led indicator lights but would not pass MOT here so bike was fitted with another stock set.   It really needs to be seen to be appreciated.   I had the bike lowered as I'm not the tallest person. however. the kit can be removed easily.   I'm not the strongest of people either but it is easy to ride and very forgiving.   It's been to Bike Week in Daytona and been down Main Street. gone in convoy from Daytona Speedway to Paul Newman's Hole in the Wall gang for a charity ride with the Teutuls. covered lots of ground in Florida. Georgia. South Carolina and used as my primary mode of transportation prior to leaving Florida for Scotland.   It has 22579 miles on it - which I'm proud to say are all mine.   Please give me a call to discuss only if you are seriously interested.   I have a bike cover and a set of raingear that I throw in as well.   Buyer to pick up - cash only.
