Squishman,
Thanks for the comments!!!!
I got the bike about 3 months ago, PO had laid it down and decided he wasn't going to ride anymore. Struck a deal with him and trailerd it back home and commenced the tear down. Engine and tranny were fine, inner supports, fairing,  RT side plastics, mirror, bars, pegs, bag , etc.. were toast. Like the results myself. Paint is Balboa Blue.
 Now to get ridin!!

Otto (1989) is my spare bike. The main bike is Vivian, my C14.
He was the one and only for a little while but now is mostly used as my winter hack.



Nissin 4 pot (CBR900XX) front calipers, ZX12R shock, Progressive fork springs, Russell saddle, Rifle base with 22" homemade screen, high level spotlights (come on with High beam), Oxford heated grips, Throttlemeister throttle lock, and many other mods.
The gas tank is Silverdamnit under the tank bra but the rest of the bike is matt black and fluorescent orange.
I decided to go that route as it looks better than the previous "Colours of Benetton" scheme.  :D The bike was originally blue.
It also meant that I could get all the repaired cracks and breaks from my 2007 crash hidden under filler and paint.

About 200 miles south of Jax, FL, yes.  But, for a 2005, I need to do a lot of things seller didn't disclose, before I take a trip, and modify it beyond it's market value, so it's just not going to happen.  Not to be all sour grapes, after a couple of days, I'm looking for something else for a ride.  Too many issues;
Carbs need cleaning, jet kit is a must,
Metzeler tires gotta go.
About due rear brake pads,
throttle cable has play in it,
and I'm not too crazy about shifting 1-6 and turning rpm like a 5 speed.  Shift ratio is way too close and no one but me, is complaining?  Man I miss my Bandit 1200 already, twice as fast and just as comfy.  I might unload this and get a Hayabusa instead, costs less than a C14 and should pull ahead with ease.  Sorry, this bike isn't suiting me very well around town.    ;D  I put it in the tupperware section of craigslist.

I know.  It looks like a bronzed statue, just without all the bird droppings on it.

Well, instead of painting the 05, I picked up a black 04 instead today.  Only 15,206 miles.  Rebuilt / salvaged title, but so what? It runs, turns, looks straight, and it was pretty cheap.

Dat's cause it is....... Vintage 1986...... A very good year indeed; wanted one of these girls when I first saw it. Took me till the spring of 02 to decide to buy my first and only new bike and when I realized that they still made the Concours basically unchanged I stopped looking at all other brands of ST bikes and went about finding the nearest dealer to which I found my 01 sitting unserviced and all lonely on the floor at some dinky but hungry dealership.....

I never really cared what anyone thinks when it comes down to what I ride.  Have you seen this yet?

Hello everyone. New to the forum, new to the Concours. Here's my new-to-me '98, got it three weeks ago, spent several hours on it in the garage dealing with a few deficiencies, runs & rides great, definitely a keeper.
