Now I'm looking for something else to tickle my fancy.  This is a a California bike with [b]12000[/b] miles and the smog equipment removed. For crisper response and easier starting, I've also drilled the slide, shimmed the needle and turned the idle screw out a touch. The bike runs GREAT! I also have a K&N jet-kit with it (I tried it but got better results with the stock parts). I've owned it since 2900 miles and it's been garaged its entire life, and at work I've kept it in covered parking so the plastics don't fade in the sun.  "Tweety" is removed (the exhaust insert that makes the bike sound like tweety-bird), but the spark arrestor is still in place so it's still off-road legal.  The clutch and kick-stand cut-outs have been disabled too, as they frequently fail and leave you stranded. You can now start the bike in gear (hold the clutch in) and with the kick-stand down.  I also have a spare set of wheel (rims with rim-lock and dirt-bike tires)!  I wouldn't hesitate to ride this bike cross-country today. It's comfortable and has good range with the 6-gallon tank and with the carb work, it has snappy response and is a lot of fun to ride.  Please don't hesitate to ask for more pictures etc if you have any questions or concerns.  [b]The Good:[/b]  * Odyssey PC595 sealed & vibration proof battery (less than a year old)  * "Thermo-Bob" - thermostat replacement for better cooling efficiency (see http://members.cox.net/watt-man/TB%20order1.htm for details)  * Temp-gauge white face overlay (not installed)  * KTM front fender (eliminates wind buffeting)  * Afrika Single light-switch (allows you to turn off the lights entirely while starting etc)  * Upgraded subframe bolt (original is prone to breaking)  * Upgraded "doohickey" - the stock idler tensioner tends to break  * All the Dual-Star brand locking bolts (axles, chain tensioners etc - originals included)  * Dual Star crash bars (radiator and water pump guards - in case of a crash you don't damage expensive parts)  * Rear brake master-cylinder crash guard  * Dual-Star aluminum fan (not installed, brand new in package - no need to install until the original one fails)  * Extra water pump gasket  * Fuses converted to circuit-breakers  * 12 Cig lighter socket for GPS or other accessories  * Acerbis bark-busters (lever guards)  * LED turn signals with diode and electronic flasher relay  * A couple of used extra panels  * Drilled carburator slide, shimmed needle and backed out idle screw for very crisp throttle response  * PCV mod (crankcase breather to prevent oil usage) - bike uses NO oil!  * Clear inline fuel filter (you can see if it's clogged/if you get fuel)  * Recent Shinko E705 dual-sport tires (mostly for the street)  * Aluminum tape inside the rear light for more/better light output (reflects more light out through the lens)  [b]The Bad:[/b]  It's a used bike so it has some scratches here and there, and the previous owner dropped it and had to put a screw  in a side panel to keep it secured. I've never bothered to replace the panel just to not have to look at the screw.  I've tried to take pictures of all scratches and blemishes so you know exactly what you get.
