Did ya notice the bike? The suspension isn't bottomed out and the tires aren't showing a huge load. That's one heck of a bike!

I could load that thing up with a sleeping bag, cooler, Coleman stove, and all sorts of other things. It was my mobile camper for years.nope that is the stock 1999 800 seat rail. As the owner told me he changed nothing but the tires to the ones that are still on it, ......I want the sissy bar for a sissy bar bag for travelling because lets me have more room on the bike.....

nope that is the stock 1999 800 seat rail. As the owner told me he changed nothing but the tires to the ones that are still on it, and nothing else was changed. In person it is not very high it kind of blends in and looks really nice I think, almost like the old Harley seats that were meant for 2 up......I want the sissy bar for a sissy bar bag for travelling because lets me have more room on the bike.....

- November 18, 2012, 20:25:36 PMHang onto those stock parts RatMan. They'll get harder to find over the years. The backrest looks really good though. I'm kinda wondering about that seat rail in the first few pics though. It sits up more like a solo seat rail, not like the 2up rail I have (I know, different bikes, but it seems strange).

- November 18, 2012, 19:28:43 PMok today I spent time polishing and thinking about changes, but I really like the plain and stock look of the bike so not a lot of changes, but so far I swapped the seat rail for a sissy bar from Mo-Tique in Holland....I like it so now it will stay....next will be the front fender guard....
