Hopefully this comes through ok for everyone else:

It shows a little age in a few spots (mostly on the trim on the tank, as an example, which I had to glue back since it was popping off the chrome piece on the top of the tank) but over all has been well cared for.
It is about to pass the 15k mark with me taking it in for the 15k service job at the end of the month. Since it had sat for much of the last two years (give or take), I wanted to get the oil change done anyway, so I'm gonna get everything done at the same time (and am hoping to get the cigarette lighter socket added to it at the same time so I can use my GPS on it with the traffic monitoring feature).
Before I say goodbye to the Suzuki, I'll get a picture of it and posted it in its current state.
A potential buyer looked it over tonite and looks to be ready to buy it assuming it passes inspection (and it should do so easily). It is leaking oil (and I conveyed same to the potential buyer) and still needs to have the plug swapped to solve that issue permanently, but can be driven as is (just have to watch the oil level). I like the idea that someone will give it a good home and keep it going.
I do have to say, I never got around to installing the forward controls set that I bought through another member here. When I got on it this afternoon/early evening I realized from that side just how different the seating arrangement/control arrangement is on that bike versus the Dyna. Wow. If I had gotten the forward controls installed, it might not have been nearly as noticeable.
