ive always liked those

 

Went back and did some tinkering because I realized my headlight was WAY too high. I had to take my dremmel to the fairing to fit the extension block. I THINK headlight is good and it looks more flush that the first pic. good enough for me.

 

That’s a pretty good deal. FWIW I have 40,000 miles on my F800 and aside from normal maintenance only replaced a stator. 31,000 miles isn't saying much, it all depends on how well maintenance was kept up on it. I bet it hasn’t even hit its second valve clearance check yet haha.

 

Agreed, it's all about how well it's been maintained.

 

I will keep an eye on it. $4k seem like a great deal?

 

Like my old band teacher used to say, “good enough for jazz!”

 

If it’s well maintained yeah, I’d say go for it at $4k. Depending on what you want to do with it though, you might wait a bit and try to find one that has more luggage with it, too. A decent set of new hard or soft bags with racks will set you back $1000+. Top box and tank bag is a nice start, plus all the protection is there.

Orrrrrrr buy a new tiger 900

 

You sir are a bad influence!

 

I like this guys style.

 

Looks like Defconbrix’ old truck.

IIRC there was a build thread for it

also has a few other build threads

 

Yep, I won’t be getting that trailer anytime soon. Base model starts at $15k

 

31K is nothing on a Hinkley Triple, it's a 100K motor with the proper maintenance.

 

Good to know. I will be keeping my eye on it.

 

well i learned my lesson selling stuff on ADV Rider. sell a used set of handguards and the guy wasnt even willing to try to bend it to work with his bike

 

sometimes people arent willing to fab, like they are here

 

7 years ago I had this bike

 

it always comes down to beating and grinding
