    It's not built in but it does come with it. Different model number than the one for the 550 but I don't know if they would interchange or not. As long as it comes with it, really doesn't matter.

    It's coming along slowly. Got tired of it for a while but have picked it up again now. I'm just not a natural. Will never be great but I do enjoy it. and for YOU Ms. Mini....I prefer that my guitar remain DRY.

    I think if I did the pickin', there would be a LOT of grinnin'....actually ....LAUGHING. NO WAY my friend.

    Between those two, I would go with the Khromewerks.

    On further review, it is actually a better deal than the ZUMO 550 if you want the XM antenna. The 665 comes with the antenna where it is an extra $200+ dollars on the 550. Since I am happy with my 550 though and already have the XM antenna for it, I won't be upgrading.

    Looks good and I'm glad to see that they have added the XM back to it BUT...it doesn't offer enough that I would sell my 550 and then spend that much for a new one.

    It's hard to tell from the small pictures but the damage appears minimal. It is a custom paint job so you won't be able to replace the fairing with one the same color. It will require somebody matching the existing paint or a complete new paint job. I always worry about any hidden damage. Bent forks, etc. Also, the salvage title will really affect the value when you get ready to sell it. I don't know what I would say for a price but I personally wouldn't pay more than $2000.00 for it. That's right off the top of my head though and I'm certainly no expert in the value of salvage bikes.

    I agree. Would love to know more about the engine though. 1600 water cooled V4.

    I really sorry to here it. She seemed to be doing so well. Let her know that she is indeed in our prayers and that we miss her here.

    That was several years ago. I'll try to contact the supplier and get a new price.

    They varied depending upon what people wanted but here is what mine look like. They are polished stainless steel with deep acid etched text.

    I had those made but it was pretty much a one time deal unless a LOT of folks are interested again. I think the minimum quantity was something like 50 sets before I could place the order.

    According to that article...it puts the price at $21,699. Maybe it was Canadian but if US hen that puts it right in line with the price of a new Ultra Classic. Far more than the RSV. One other thing I noticed was that it requires premium gas. I know that some of our members here run premium in the RSV but I've never done so.

    Well if you look out my door, you KNOW I didn't send it. Seems that we are keeping ours here. 12 F and they say "feels like" -4. Probably only about 6 or so inches of snow but still coming down. It's going to be a LONG winter.
  15. Freebird
    OK OK OK...couple months...couple hours...whatever works for you. Heck...it will be good just to see you again.
  16. Freebird
    I agree....opinions will vary about any make and model. There is no way that I could pass judgment unless I could do some seat time on one. Go ahead and buy one Eddie...then drop it off here at the house and leave it for a couple of months and then I'll get back to you on it. BUT...please wait until at LEAST May.
  17. Freebird
    Eddie, I agree that it looks pretty good but I'm just not hearing great reports from people who have ridden and bought them. I would have to find the post but we actually have a member here who bought one and then couldn't wait to get rid of it.
  18. Freebird
    I agree. It is done.
  19. Freebird
    Well it's 12 F as I type this and I would have to plow the driveway before I could get the bike out. So.....not going to happen today.
  20. Freebird
    Rod, I know them pretty well. I have bought from them and have visited their store in person a few times. Great folks. All parts are stored indoors, nothing out in the weather. Used parts are used parts but Pinwall always gets my recommendation.
  21. Freebird
    Thanks for the COLD reminder. Yes, I know that those in the gallery are older BUT....I looked so much younger in them.
  22. Freebird
    OK.....it seems that the vast majority like it better the old way so I have changed it back. Sorry for the incvonvenience.
  23. Freebird
    Yes, but in that same left menu, it you click the one titled "Mark Forums Read", it will work. At this point, I'm thinking of changing it back. It seems that most don't like it.
  24. Freebird
    Well I really don't have any pictures of Eileen and I but Ponch was good enough to send me these three taken at various rallies and etc.
  25. Freebird
    Yea...don't you just HATE it when that happens. Oh well....it's just a cross that some of us must bear.
