    (NJ)AMERICAN EAGLE BAGS take them away Just inherited them from purchase i dont use them

    Don't feel bad -- I got my money's worth out of every mile on that thing. And that purchase price...I saw his ad. He was asking so little that I honestly considered buying it back from him lol. Reality is that I still wouldn't have the time to ride. I'm just thrilled it's gone to a good home. :)

    The bottom bags are $800 new without brackets. The bags have steel plates sewn between the leather for strength and to maintain shape even when empty. Those top bags are $260 each new. Someone's going to get a killer deal.

    One thing worth noting -- you've got the "" tune in that bike and have full power through all the gears. The K&N air filter, cat box delete, and TOR silencers are visible but the computer tune would take some digging to find. Full tune information can be found by searching for the tune name on...

    GREAT purchase, OP! I'm the original owner of that bike. Let me know if you have any questions. From what I can tell the guy you bought from rode it home, did brakes and running boards, and parked it. I was hoping it would go to someone who'd appreciate and ride the hell out of it like I...

    It's my first time without a bike in over 2 decades so it's a little weird. The new ride at this point will likely be a Glacier Bay 2640 lol When the time comes to get back on two wheels it's going to be tough to top an r3. There's nothing else out there right now that I'd seriously consider...

    This is going to frustrate you, but I had no problems fitting them. No modifications needed, though this was back in 2006. They didn't offer the grips for this specific model back then so I got their universal grips to work.

    Sold! Craigslist swooped in at the last minute and it was picked up by a genuinely decent local guy. He used to ride sport bikes and then got into Harleys. He wanted a blend between the two so the choice was obvious. :) Thank you to everyone for all the words of encouragement and support. Even...

    No kidding -- I'm currently renovating my kitchen. I'm doing the work myself and we're trying to live in the house while the most important room is a disaster area. Having the bike isn't making the project any less expensive lol

    Sale is pending a visit from the buyer from a state away. If all goes well the bike will have a new rider in the saddle in the next two weeks :)

    For Sale 2005 Triumph Rocket III - Red with factory flames (NJ)

    Yesterday I had a guy over to measure for replacement windows on my house, some of which are in the garage. He arrived on a 1983 Suzuki and was in disbelief when he saw the size of the covered motorcycle in the garage. He said he had to see what was under there so I pulled back the cover and...

    It's been up for sale for awhile, so who knows...it might still be available when you're healed up and ready to ride. I'd be admittedly disappointed if it doesn't move before then but would be happy to see it go to a good home.
