  1. I will be in Columbus July 14-20 if anyone is interested in checking it out
  2. So, I've had this project for quite some time. I've ridden it for ~400mi, it was amazing! Best bike I've ever ridden compared to the other cruisers I've ridden, 90s Vulcan 700, 2000s HD 883 Sporter(my moms), I've had a few other bikes a few sports bikes and a standard bike, I've loved them all in their own way, as I'm sure all of you can relate. I ran out of time to tinker with it and its been sitting in my moms garage in Sunbury for quite some time. It developed a back fire and is lacking power, i've had it running a few times and put about another 100mi on it. I bought all of it from some guy who was an 80s shadow enthusiast and his wife said his shed of shadow stuff had to go. The 750 has a black powdercoated frame and factory paint scheme with factory decals on the body parts. The one in the picture is complete and is the one that I have ridden There is another frame that has a motor, a 700 not a 750, suspension and most of the main components installed that I started putting together once I had the other running great, the motor turns over but never had it running. I have titles for both and a lot of extra parts. Also I now live in NC so I'm looking to sell everything as a package $1000 or trade for a 500cc street bike. My first bike was an 89 Suzuki GS500e, I miss it dearly, so something comparable would be cool. Eventually I would like to build my own electric bike so a full fairing bike would be cool as long as it's around 500cc. Thanks all!

    Fuel Economy

    I am currently bikeless(running that is...) I always got a few more mpg using high octane 90+ helps keep em running clean too! 20cents per gal or more on 5 or so gals isnt gonna kill my wallet. 89 GS500 45-50mpg 03 CBR600F4i 38-44mpg 83 VT750 50-52mpg I need to build a diesel and get 100+mpg like these guys!! http://www.dieselbike.net/ tho some are just single cyl diesel engines with a Torque Converter/CVT cruising at 50-60mph getting 100+mpg sound great to me!! Here is the ultimate build: http://www.suckindiesel.com/?page_id=2061 Triumph Tiger + Turbo Diesel Smart Car 0.8litre engine = $15,000 100+mpg! Military has had these for awhile, supposedly releasing a "civilian" model, basically the same 667cc single cyl diesel engine on a KLR 600 frame. Claim 135mpg!!! $TBD...
  7. thanks we made it! no overdrive and it added like 2.5hrs to the trip... but the weather is awesome! im suprised i dont see more motorcycles? Safe abd Happy Riding!
  8. well its not listed/stamped anywhere on the trailer. Ive decided to just drive slow with just my bike and tools in the trailer, wish me luck!
  9. Id be scared... http://www.stirrupmotorcycletrailers.com/
  10. PM sent 1. 1180lbs verified at a Truck stop scale 2. Leaf springs
  11. Pics are up and its in Sunbury 43074 someone come buy it now!!
  12. it WILL make someone a great motorcycle transport trailer!!! Uhauls 5x8 weigh 900lbs, i would be happy with that. some of the random enclosed trailer makers claim ~890lbs for their 5x8 with single barn door. i found a couple i'll be calling tmw from CL. the element is awd that may have something to do with its towing capacity.
  13. So i just bought this enclosed trailer, put new hinges on the ramp and got it weighed to get it registered only to find out it weighs 1180lbs... Im moving to NC. Bought trailer in NC while house hunting, just brought back to get my bike and stuff. My Honda Elements towing capacity is 1500lbs... Trailer 1180lbs + CBR ~400lbs + tool box and tools ~200lbs + etc = damnit so i need to sell it and get a much lighter one like around 8-900lbs. anyway... 1989 6wx8Lx5.5h with a ramp with new hinges(when i bought it 1.5weeks ago all the hinges were about to fall off) 13" wheels with spare 4 D-rings in floor, a few eye hooks through out shelf and 2 small racks Black with white stripe Flat-4 light connection, All lights work Wheeled tongue crank Pulls Great! Location Sunbury, OH $850
  14. lol ^ bump for final day to schedule something.
  15. I will be leaving Cary, NC(27513) on Friday April 15th late at night and will be traveling up to Columbus/Sunbury(43074) with an EMPTY 6x8 Enclosed Trailer and am willing to haul pretty much anything(~500lbs MAX) if you pay for the gas ~$100. Have motorcycle tiedown D-rings in floor and a full ramp Need to make arrangements asap. Willing to pickup something on the way for additional monies. PM and let me know asap if i can help anyone out -John
  16. i recently bought a 03 f4i and it has a white brothers high mount exhaust. does anyone know if there is a spacer or something so i can put rear pegs on it??
  17. the same as going up the ramp forwards, but it requires alot more pulling than pushing. riding it down the ramp off the truck is cake. since im usually unloading by myself this was always the best way to load the bike in. thanks for the input everyone, especially jagr, i forgot to take the flux capacitor into account... so i'll be loading the bike facing forward.
  18. ive always loaded my motorcycles backwards in the bed of my truck so i could ride it down the ramp. shadows have no fairings. im picking up a cbr f4i tomorrow, has full fairings. im concerned about the trip home. will the wind damage the fairings if i load the bike facing backwards? thoughts??
  19. I did go to UA... I just took my last final ever!!!!

    Im hopefully picking up a CBR F4i on Monday!

    Im moving back to cbus at the end of the Month, but if I get the CBR we'll have to go ride the valley!
