I need to sell my bike and thought I would see if anyone here is interested or knows anyone before I list it. It is a 2006 in Kawi Green, and has about 5,300 miles. It's got quite a few accesories, here's a few:
Flat Corbin
Gel grips and bar snake
JC Whitney trunk
DR footpegs
Super Trapp Quiet core muffler
K&N filter
Doohickey done
Valves adjusted twice
The bike is in perfect shape. Not dents or dings and fires right up. I know it's hard to tell without seeing it, but about what would you guys ask for such a bike???
Thanks. The knowledge I've gained from this group over the last few years has been awesome!

Oh Jeez, funny you mention that. Years ago, in my Hodaka days, my
brand spanking new Hodaka Ace 100, er .... would run fine .... fer a
while. Then it would shut down. Dealer had not a clue and thought I
was nuts because it ran fine ..... in ... the ..... shop .... for a
while. Clogged gas cap vent hole. Sometimes you jest have to figure
it out yerself (and I did).
