Happy happy.  Thumbsup

Got this blue '08 GSF1250SA for a song and it only has a little over 5600 kms on it (just over 3k miles).  Very enjoyable 100-mile ride home.  Time to order some PR3's.

Pics on Tuesday morning!   Cool

Its Tuesday morning.


Ok..I'm making coffee.   Lol  (See above)

Fred- I brought it home with insurance but w/an expired plate.  Must...legalize.  If you're around, come by for a look see.

No luggage on this bike.  I'll probably go for a Cortech soft bag setup.  I'm looking for their 30-liter detachable tailbag that was discontinued...

I think the best mod you can do inexpensively to really liven up this bike is remove the secondary throttle plates, and put a new silencer on it. I put the Yosh RS3C on mine, and had the plates taken out. Wow, really improves the ride. I have no experience with the 07-09 windscreens, but mine came with a Vario spoiler installed. Adjusted right, you get very little buffeting. As to the seat, I have no issues with mine.
