I paid $1200 for my '02 883, wasn't running when I bought it. Thankfully I guessed right and all it needed was a new cam trigger sensor to run. Now she rips! $500 for an assembled non runner is crazy low! Lucky them.
Ps what is that 2-1 exhaust on that Sporty pic in your signature? Looks absolutely sick! Just the type of exhaust I'm looking for. Edit: NVM, read through the thread and saw that you said they're RSD V&H 2-1 pipes. Sick build! Can't wait to see more of it.

Yea when the time comes for bike number 2, I will have to make some choices. Either a touring bike, if momma wants to ride with me, (I hope she does) or a scrambler/dual sport if she doesn't.
If I do go the scrambler route, no doubt I will have to broaden my search to even make the project affordable. Its a funny thing that happens to cash flow when you are retired. LOL.

Oh I can see that. I might see something similar with my Tracker exhaust? My right ankle is going to be right up against the exhaust which is going to be warm. I have been wondering how I can move the right side foot peg out an 1" or 2? Haven't come with a way to do that yet. G.B.

Getting close to finishing up the seat pan. All I have left are to weld a couple of bolts to the pan and some mounting tabs to the seat loop near the rear of the seat. I am thinking I might have to trim the front hook mounting hole once I have the seat covered to fine tune the fit of the seat. Yeah, my welds still suck. I am getting good penetration so it will be fine. You wont see any of this as it will be covered with foam and vinyl so I didn't spend much time even cleaning up the welds. I found a local upholstery shop that does custom motorcycle seats who quoted me $175 to do this seat. Doesnt seem too bad. G.B.
I boxed in the front mounting hook hole in the seat pan. It should be more than strong enough and with a couple of 1/4' or M6 bolts to hold the rear of seat down it wont be going anywhere.
