I didn't need to, he found us first. That is how I learned it was for sale originally. Whether or not he comes back for more information or commeraderie is up to him. He was a stand-up guy though, and very nice so I agree it would be good to have him around.

Aaaannddd sold. A few weks ago, but lining up shipping and all that takes time. Sad to see it gone... but it will get more use in its new home around Chicago.

Finally registered bike, cleaned it up, and went for a short ride today. Bike performed great! A shot of it cleaned up....

I hadn't thought of that, but likely yes! No extra charge... 😋

Thank you!

See previous post regarding bike below.... brought back from MO but have not ridden enough in past year. Started new business etc. and not likely to use it like I had hoped. Crazy low miles, almost like new, with many additions as noted in other ad. Questions please ask. Original tires, were just replaced with new Shinkos, so now ready to ride! Alan

Will start new post, but bike is up for sale. Just am not going to get out on it enough to justify keeping it around. Likely will get a sporty convertible and call it good.... 😕

XX may be back up for sale. The fact I haven't been excited enough about it to even get tires on it and ride it ONCE tells me I may just not love it. I paid $6K, only have gas to pick it up into it. Still same mileage, but is now in northern AZ. If interested let me know!

No, I will take his word on the reversal...., I meant his daughter! 😋 As for the garden, it has been heat and getting things to get a root system started. Second is rodents. There are some gentle, mid-sized rats called pack rats, and mice. They love some fresh greens! We had grapes starting to bud, and raspberries, until no more leaves. Without much root system they couldn't come back. Late freezes are an issue too. Just generally more difficult than western WA was.

We really have to catch up by phone soon! And I need pictures before I believe you! 🤣

Joyce has big garden plans, but from what we have seen so far this year it is an uphill battle. Will update later... as for when we met, yes, a lot of changes between then and now, for both of us! Life has been quite the journey.

That dirt field is my driveway, still under construction. Welcome to rural AZ! That is Joyce's garden shed in the background. I had just unloaded it from the truck, backed up to a small hill to decrease the angle on the ramp. Other questions: Yes, it runs, turns out it was maintained despite sitting most of its life. Could use some fresh gas I am sure, but new tires more. Has Michelin Macadams that I haven't seen for ages. Because of sitting in a garage and having relatively few heat cycles they weren't as bad as I imagined. I actually test rode it even, very carefully! 21 year old tires....yikes! Felt identical to my '97, riding it was second nature. Very happy with it, just have to finish it's home! Speaking of which, we got the 3rd wall up today, 4th tomorrow, and roof by next week. Super excited about that!! That is the XX already residing in it's future home...

Bike is at it's new home. LONG drive to get it.... about 2,550 miles in just over 3 days, including eat, sleep, and pee time. Only stopped for one night in motel, and at a Route 66 museum. Going to have a lot of fun with it! (As soon as I finish the garage....)

I may need those once I get my bike in July. I don't know how well the originals will have help up to sitting for a long time. If they are still available then I will let you know.

If you still have the Honda manual for the '99-2000 XX I am interested. No hurry, can pick up from Carlos' the next time you are headed to his place.

PM being sent... have been looking for a 2000 BB.

I am partial to a 2000 and am currently bikeless. Talk to me....

I will get a weight and get back to you! Thanks for the interest! Alan

I have kind of a busy day but will look into the cost of shipping when I get a chance and get back to you... Can I get a zip code so I can be accurate? Thanks for the support Tim! We really have to get together soon, as I am moving to Spokane soon. We should at least go shooting and lunch, eh? 🤓

I think I paid around $200. way back when, and at the time new ones were $450. or in that range, so let's say $150. to start? If I am off base I am sure I will hear it! Thanks Joe, glad someone got it that can use it! I didn't realize it was you until I saw your name on the eBay notice that it had sold! It has been quite a while... Alan

I replaced my older slip-ons with the original exhaust and don't plan to switch back, so they are for sale! Actual shipping cost on top of best offer... Have seen some use, rubber parts have a bit of damage, finish isn't perfect, consistent with normal use, could maybe use some re-packing as I think they are a bit loud... Make an offer! Alan

I had an issue with my headlights not working, and after following the shop manual and it's instructions for troubleshooting I narrowed it down to the starter switch. I ordered it and wouldn't you know, no change! And of course there are no returns on electrical parts, so it needs to find a home. If anyone needs one please let me know! Part # is 35013-MAT-671 It cost me $70., best offer gets it! Thanks! Alan

Went back out and started over, got around 15 vac at idle and in the 50s @ 4K rpm, so I am pretty sure my "new" R/R is toast. The place I bought if from was a place in Canada called RMStator, they do nothing but electrical stuff for motorsports, thought they sounded good. No answer to phone or e-mails so far, I'll give them some time to make good on their warranty. Oh, and it only cost $70. for the R/R. A good deal if it works, not so good if it's fried already! Alan

Was it a Honda OEM or another brand? That is s significant savings! Thanks....

Oh, and Ron Ayers seems to have the best price for a stator at $203., does anyone know of a better price anywhere else? It seems the only problems I've ever had with my bike have been electrical and charging related.... Alan
