I just picked up an 05 with about 26k miles. It's set up for cruising with Corbin seats and bags, it has outlaw pipes, cat bypass, windshield, 4 instrument pods and friction cruise control. It has a slight oil leak out of both its front forks, just a bit after a ride, it also has a bald, chorded buldging front tire, and a 225 car tire on the rear which despite what anyone says, does not handle well, or predictable.
Brief history: first bike was a CBR F4i, then a shadow, decided I wanted a fast cruiser and got a V-max, then I wanted a predictable and comfortable version and got this.
First thing I need to do are put two motorcycle tires on. Secondly, do I need to hurry up and fix the fork seals or wait till it's a proper leak? Third, the previous owner said that he didn't remap the computer once he did the exhaust, does it need to get done? Are there cheap barter ways to get it done? I know that I'll have to if I go with k&n pods which I may do, and may do a single exhaust, but I'm also inclined to leave well enough alone. Thanks, and hi!
