A Note from the Owner

Mark -

This bike has 8,800 miles on it, and she is being sold to a man in CO on Friday 3/28/08

I have cared for this bike for over 8 years, and it is 100% original except for tires and battery.

It was only sold in the U.S. for 1 year, and tuned down at that. The Canadian model's have bigger cams and valves. This is when Harley Davidson Company could not keep up with the Japanese. There was also a $1,500 tariff on this bike because of the protectionism. In today's money that would be 4-6 thousand dollars.
