This one has a new battery, fresh oil and filter, new plugs, new fuel pressure reg., new tires, new tinted screen, front flush mounts, rear aftermarket blinkers, Scorpion slipon, braided/stainless brake hoses front and rear, 5400 miles and about as clean as could be asked for. Yamerhaw has seen it and I am sure that he can attest to how nice it is. It's not perfect, but it's so damn close that you can taste it. lol I don't want to give up the power of this beast, but I mostly commute with it and it's just not easy on me for that. I totally agree with OTB, this thing rides and handles like a dream but just hurts me when I am off it for the day. I honestly think it's more me than the bike, but the bars could be the deciding factor.
I just like to get out and ride better than anything I can think of, next to sex. This bike is meant for more than just riding, or atleast the riding that I do.

I do like the looks of that HD and having a belt is something else that turns me on.

I'll keep the heli bars in mind derf. I'm not totally committed to selling out just yet but I have to do something different before I get to that point. I'm not saying I wouldn't sell it for the right price, as everything I have is for sale for the right price.
I don't know what the market is like down your way...but up here a decent 929 will bring 4500-5000 with 18-25000 miles on it. A nice example with low miles like yours should draw 52-5700 with the right buyer.

OK, so I searched for these bars and this is what I get:

Seems like a lot of money to spend without any guarantee that it will help me. I don't know what to do.....
I did see a cool set of grips on their site that add in a wrist relief for the throttle. May be something else to look into for me.

Wanker!!!!


I'll be there next weekend to pic her up. The 929 does have an aggressive seating position. The guy I rode with for awhile couldnt go for long.

Pm me your price.
