Bobby Onelung - As Done as I'll do it, Maybe?
05/01/11 at 23:08:37

Bobby Onelung - 1986 Savage.
Came with big backrest, ape hangers, broken parts, covered in oil, severe oil leak. Very rough, very dirty, very rusty.
I replaced the bars, fwd and rear signals, tail light, brake light, custom paint including controls and risers. I changed the clutch, fixed the cam chain tensioner, cleaned it several times, fixed the nasty oil leak (std plug/cap), & serviced the steer tube bearings. I removed the passenger pillion, relocated the reg/rect, and the chrome eyebrows which hold the backrest. Filled countless holes in the fenders, and then gave it a backyard spray bomb job, which in the end turned out very well. Finally I carved and ground the seat out the typical potatochip shape, made a pattern and sewed up a new cover, which far exceeded my expectations. Looks good and is surprisingly comfortable.

Those tires are Bridgestone spitfires, I got a set about 11k miles ago, still have plenty of tread left to. They have a dual compound, hard tread and softer edges.

If you look careful, you can find this in a non-signal capable unit too. Turns out I accidentaly bid on one of the very few which does not have signal capibilities.

I think you can convert them with a few diodes, but haven't tried that yet.

And, if there's enough time, contact the seller, says oops, please cancel my bid.

I've only done it once though, seller is an a--hole. I think I'm banned from buying from him. even with my 100% rating.
