  5. These alum. bar risers for the XX are pre-owned. I just HIGHLY polished them so they look incredible! One of the chromed steel center caps has a little pitting. They rise the bars exactly 3/4 inch. $50 + shipping. Price is firm. Send me an email address and I'll send pics if wanted. Payment by PayPal only. Steve
  6. That description reference did come to mind when wording this ad. And yes, you can believe me on this.

  9. Very good condition. Still soft, not faded black leather, no cracks , rips . There are two BARELY seen , very shallow surface scratches on the left rear section of the seat. All black so it'll go with any year XX. Interested people wanting pics, just send me your email address and I'll send some your way. Already broken in so none of the traditional Corbin hard seat feeling. Not listed at Corbin's web site anymore so I assume they are no longer available. $285 + shipping. Price is firm. Price new is $561.
  10. I remember you took care of me money wise on that! I also remember based on the time involved I swore to myself NEVER to do that type of work again!
  11. Oh yeah! I remember I had to sand it totally smooth with very fine paper and polish the hell out of it. They did turn out pretty damn nice I remember. Wow, how long ago was that? Had to have been at least 10 years ago, right?
  12. I remember I had an extra stock swing arm I smoothed, polished and sold to a member. Unless your reply was a "wink, wink, nudge, nudge" play on words. : )
  13. Some don't like chrome, some don't like the color purple. I've already heard all the lame gay jokes about my color choice. If I decide to keep my red 2001 model, it'll be a nice GM blue metallic called "Wave Blue Metallic" with silver accents and silver wheels.
  14. Just this morning was emailed from the owner telling me the Honda dealership replaced the fuel pump , looked over the whole bike and it could be picked up. I'm a perfectionist and have had two very successful show bikes, one of which was my former 2003 XX. I wouldn't even want a bike with any rust, oxidation, scratches or any imperfections. I am a retired auto body shop owner and have the ability to fix all of these thigs but I am booked up with my own projects currently and have no time to "fine tune" a cheaper bike with any imperfections. Since this rare find is sought after by others ( as I was informed by the owner, weather true or not) I'm not interested in calling his bluff as this silver 2002 is just the bike I am looking for. If I told him I'd give him no more than say, $6000, I feel there is a very good chance someone else would get it. I sold my 2020 Kawasaki ZH2 and have enough cash to buy two of these at the high price. Once my 2001 is back together I'll sell it and recoup most of my money anyway. Steve
  15. Anytime you come across a vehicle , especially one that's almost 20 years old, in mint condition with only 5111 miles (269 miles per year average), chances are you'll pay top dollar for it ( especially in this current economy). I expect that, and I am just fine with it. At my age of 66 , chances are pretty high this will be the last XX I ever own. I'm sure I could have found a nice , clean '99-2003 model with 20,000 + miles on it for $4500-$5000, but I'd have to put many hours of labor into it along with many hundreds of dollars as well to get it to where I want it. I have too many ongoing projects that demand my time currently. I won't be seen riding any bike that isn't one I can be 100% proud of to be seen on. That's just me.
  16. I started my first XX experience with a left-over '99 model I bought in 2000. My second was a 2003 model I did a full custom job on and was forced to sell it to (among other things) put a new roof on my house. I currently have a 2001 which is mostly apart, has been for about 3 years now, and hopefully will go back together this Summer. I had intended to do another full custom job on this '01 but some other projects pushed it onto the back burner. Since I'm doing a 90% rebuild and restoration of a '99 Grand Prix GTP coupe, plus work on my '94 Chevy Caprice wagon and a 2005 Buick LeSabre I bought 2 months ago, I realized I have no time for a full repaint, and customization of my '01 XX and I know all too well that I'll be in heat to go riding very soon. With no together bike to do so, I thought I'd buy yet another XX with great paint ( NOT BLACK!) and enjoy it this riding season. Plus , having a stock Bird will help me put my '01 back together as the official service manual just doesn't answer all the questions I'm sure I'll have when the time comes to put the '01 back together. I did find JUST what I was looking for a couple weeks ago. It's a 95% stock 2002 silver bird with a Corbin seat and bar risers, other than that it's all stock and the owner claims it's in mint condition. The pictures prove this fact as does the testimony of this local Honda dealership's service manager that while talking to me said he'd rate the bike a solid 8.5 out of 10. Only problem is, it's 1500 miles away from me! Gonna be $600 to/ get it here. The owner wanted to make sure it was in tip top shape before selling it and took it to the dealership for a once over. Turns out, it needed a new fuel pump and fuel regulator. The owner isn't raising the price because of this either. Can't stop thinking about this bike and hope to have it in my possession within the next 2 weeks. The bike has SUPER low miles, just 5111 !! It isn't cheap but I have to own it! Finding super low mileage mint condition stock bikes is pretty damn rare I think, so screw it, I have the funds and it will be mine!
  17. I'm afraid going to Canada isn't an option especially with me not having a passport.
  18. Under 20K miles, as stock as possible. No "beaters". MUST have excellent body panels. Within 100 miles of Philadelphia, PA. I've got cash. Ready to buy now. Steve Smith
  19. ALL of the lines are to be replaced with after market SS ones. Just ordered them yesterday (Galfer). Compressed air isn't a problem as are "Q" tips. I have some alcohol used in auto body work to prep plastic bumper covers. Not sure what % it is, but should work well. Thanks all for the advice.
  20. Brake and clutch master cylinders will be removed , paint stripped and housings polished. Old brake fluid looks pretty nasty in them. Don't want to damage internals so what solvent is best to clean them out? Brake clean? Wax & grease remover? Not rebuilding them, just want them flushed out real good.
  21. Good one! Although I never had a pet fish let alone a talking fish friend . A few early on girl friends did kinda smell that way though. Oh and my Dad's name isn't Stan.
