Title: C10 PIC THREAD - Show us your Connie!!
Post by: ZG on May 27, 2011, 04:32:13 PM
Hey guys, I'm a C14 guy but I saw a really clean 06 C10 the other day up at my local shop, he was dropping it off to get some work done. I spoke with the guy for a bit, cool guy, he bought it new about 3 years ago...  8)
 
I looked for a place to post a pic of it in this C10 section but I couldn't find any threads already started that were dedicated to pics of C10's...
 
So here you go!  :grouphug:   :popcorn:
 
 
 
Maybe George can make this a sticky in this section to be built upon...

Here's my '95.  It's a little rough, but thanks to SiSF, it runs like a striped ape.  I'm thinking torque cams/power cams for it this winter.  The trunk needs a little touch up, but it works GREAT!  It was a lot of fun to make.  The bags were repainted by me.  Spray on Rustoleum bedliner from WalMart works great.  Krylon Gloss Black on the inside half.   

On a note, anyone have an idea how to hide the bottom edge of the top fairing?  The right side would be no problem, but the PO broke all the tabs off the top left side.

Edge trim from your local auto parts store?

Post by: medicevans on May 28, 2011, 06:50:51 PM
GB, won't work.  There are two screws about mid way down the fairing on each side.  I believe they are for the fairing mount.  What I may do is get 4 1/2" longer bolts, then get some 1" wide thin flat steel stock and drill holes where the bolts would come out, then use acorn nuts to hold them on.  It won't be perfect, but better than what I have now.  I'm thinking about redoing the bike in all bed-liner anyway.  If I do that this winter, then it wouldn't have to look perfect, just good enough.

The shearing shed was built for the 1954 Korean war wool boom, but then white ant's got into it a couple of years ago and it fell down.

I only made it to the helipad at Balad. I heard rumors of a swimming pool, but never got to check it out. My posts were always the size of a McDonald's parking lot.

Post by: medicevans on May 29, 2011, 05:44:50 AM
Yeah, not going to lie; Balad in '09 was about as POGey as it gets. Awesome seeing the CWIS cannons go off though. I heard about that same swimming pool. Never got to try and find it.


I will echo what Steve said: Thank you to all the vets on this board and all the rest of the vets everywhere that keep us free.  God bless the men who work in darkness doing the terrible things so the rest of us don't have to.  Most Americans have no idea how good we have it.

i don't care what anyone thinks, 2003 is the best color.

Mine's pretty much stock, except for bar risers, a Cee Bailey windshield, Rostra cruise control and Kawasaki backrest/rack. The problem with this forum is there are so many more farkles I never knew it needed ... Stick coils, block off plates, everything SISF sells ...

Anyways, a few pictures:

I recently bought this '05 because it fit the "budget".

I dislike (closer to hate) the color but I'm trying to let it grow on me. So far it's not working.

Two previous Con's were red and the deep burgundy. I foresee a paintin' project this winter.

Cee-Baily needs a trimmin too.

Other than that I LOVE it. Can't wait to install the 7th thanks to Steve!

I see a problem however... if I'm cruising at 5K with the 7th.........  ::)

Here's my 95 with 105 K mi. You might notice a slight mismatch in the shades of the color between the upper fairing and the side. This is the result of a close encounter with Bambi and her mom south of Kerville about 5 years ago. Deer went down, Connie stayed up on 2 wheels. Couldn't believe I was still upright.

Here's my 2001 with a few add ons, the most visible of which are the painted wheels (with rear Mean Streak wheel and rotor).  Since these pics I have repainted the lid of the top case again, removed the silver pin stripe, and replaced the Clearview with a Cee Bailey.

Elvin315,  Sorry about the late response on my 4/1. I got the idea from Jim snyder. I am running his original idea of lopping off the left side spiget and having it welded up. He has great pics on his photobucket.  He now is doing the ontario pipe set up I will probably do one of these in the off season to get a little more flow.  I am running a Delkevic muffler its a little loud wihtout the sound db killer inserted. I am rinning a k@n with 1 3/4 foam cut on Steve,s 2 min mod plus he went through the carbs and Steve,s exhaust gear.  I have enclosed my Dyno Pulls, She laid down almost 93 horses and decent torque It runs great. Anyway hope that helps.  I also had the entire system Ceramic coated and installed heat transfer protection from Summit Racing to the inside of the belly pan to keep the heat off the plastic it works out perfect I used it on my Bandit 1250. Hope this helps feel free to contact me for any questions.

Cool, DJ.  Can't wait to see it when it is done.  262k?  Holy smokes! 

Here's my 2001 with a few add ons, the most visible of which are the painted wheels (with rear Mean Streak wheel and rotor).  Since these pics I have repainted the lid of the top case again, removed the silver pin stripe, and replaced the Clearview with a Cee Bailey.

I'm going to do the black wheels on my 05 as soon as it's tire changing time, looks great!

But how about:

ZG1000 stolen by my son ride
Ninja EX 500 Stolen by my daughter from my son ride
Honda CRF off road ride

The only changes from stock that I know of are a K&N filter (because the OEM was trash) and I'm working on a custom windscreen to get the noise out of my helmet.  I'm Technically the 3rd owner, but the first and second were father and son (son had to put it in his name to sell), 27,500 miles when I bought it.  Oh, and it's a 1999.

That's an AVON AZARO AV46ST

The exhaust if I'm not mistaken is a custom 4 into 1 from either Jim Snyder or Steve in Sunny Fl with a muffler from Delvelico (I'm sure I buggered the spelling.

Go to Jim,s web shots he has very good photos you can call him and he will help you out he is the best.  And the boss T-cro is correct its an avon front and rear based on Steve in Sunny Fla,s recommendation and they rock.  Hope this helps.  Regards Steve

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.

(http://www.gtr1000.com/graphics/mygtrpics/New_Otto4.jpg)(http://www.gtr1000.com/graphics/mygtrpics/New_Otto3.jpg)

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.

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.....

Bled the calipers last night then disassembled the carbs for cleaning.  So, with the 4-piston calipers does it mean I don't get a speedo, or am I missing something?

Just to finally post a pic of the beast - and her little sister...
  The beast has had the new screen add on - an adjustable spoiler. Looks odd but works a treat. Up to 85mph with a **** pot..oops an open face lid and it was much quieter.   The bike is a 2002 and has 20700miles on it. Plenty of time to add another 0 to that.

bought this bike earlier this year, 1990 with 52,000 miles, hadn't been ridden 7000 miles in 7 years by PO, changed all fluids, new tires, replaced some nuts and bolts, cleaned carbs, has leather Corbin seat and aftermarket windshield, have bags (in perfect shape),  in good overall shape.

Very nice looking bike.  Those forks look almost new!  So does a bunch of other stuff - or they at least cleaned up very well.  Congrats!

Well, I pretty much finished up dad's bike.  Sorry to say it took me 2 years and 2 months to finish.  He passed away from ALS in April of 2011.  This was kind of my therapy since my wife and I moved into his house and it gave something to do besides just going thru his things and bringing ours to the house.  I kind of started before he passed buy just started to remove and clean things.  The plastics were pretty much severely damaged from multiple drops before he quit riding, but I have repaired them pretty nicely (almost unnoticeable).  I thought it would be wrong to get rid of them for serving him so well and took it on as challenge.  I did get a new fairing frame and had to repair the fairing frame stay (lug).  Both were pretty well fractured up.  I test drove it around the neighborhood on Saturday and took it for its first "ride" with my wife on Father’s Day Sunday.  It did great, no issues at all.  That was such great feeling and hope he was watching.

It’s an '87 with a many mods added.  The idea is that this is for just cruising around for day trips and that longer trips will be done with my other one ('87 also).  I pretty much blacked out everything.  It was gentry grey.  Everything was disassembled and at a minimum inspected, cleaned, and lubed or polished.  All the rubber parts that are accessible without an engine tear down were replaced.  New tires.  4-piston CBR calipers up front feel like they could do a stoppie.  Spiegler front lines.  Front springs cut for a stiffer suspension with 15w.  Shock fluid changed.  Golden Spectro 20w50 that is from a case dad still had unopened from at least 1990 something.  Petcock rebuild.  T-Cro's stick coils.  Steve's power jet kit and exhaust sprocket.  LEDs everywhere.  Corbin seat.  Custom sewn passenger pad.  Modified tag bracket and tiny LED lights.  The list goes on.

There's still a few things to be done or added later.  When I find the right tiny LED lights is Snarf’s light brackets.  Also later are the short '86 clip-ons with new grips.  The current ones are in good working order and they're heated (still need to be hooked up, but it is June in VA).  The speedo/odometer are kind of quirky and probably need replacing.  I also need to find a lock for the left side glove box lid and re-key it.

I would like to thank the members and friends who are pretty much one and the same that gave me guidance, support, and either gave or sold parts to me.  I'm sure that many of you have done things like this yourselves and know the value of your friends’ contributions.  I truly value each and every one of you no matter how small or trivial you think you contributed to this.  From parts, to just a post somewhere on the forum, it is equally valuable in the end when doing a project like this.

I will take a few "good" pictures in the near future and post them.  Now it is time to tear the other one down .... and update my signature line.

Thanks again,

Frank Hunt

Greetings All!

Bought an 03 Connie with under 10,000 on it a few weeks ago!  Looks almost new but has a few minor scuffs.
The bike was purchased new by a friend who promptly developed some serious medical issues and the bike has spent most of it's time garaged.  He managed to drop her while getting letters out of his mailbox, breaking three ribs as he fell into the ditch in the process, then put the bike up for sale. 
He offered me a deal I couldn't refuse and I plunked down the cash without even a test ride.

She needs a little loving but runs great, even better after I drained the 4 year old gas and added a tank of fresh mid grade.
What an awesome bike!
Kind of top heavy at low speeds and I get the sense that could jump up to bite me if I get careless but otherwise handles very well and has gobs of get up and go.

Edit:  Removed question, already did valve adjustment.

I haven't really looked at the fairing extenders, they indeed are standard on EU models (at least, I haven't seen any without around here) I think they screw into the fairing bolts that hold the fairing interior.

Thanks. You may get them cheap in EU but with shipping it may be too expensive. These are plastic pieces and I hate to pay a lot for them. Especially just because they seem mostly cosmetic!

This is how she looked the day she got home (April 1 , 2015).  She will look far, far different soon.

EDIT:  1987, 22K miles, $500.  She came with rifle windshield WAY too tall, simple aftermarket cam chain tensioner, brand new Pirelli tires, and just enough plastic damage to justify taking off the lowers and leaving them off.

Planned mods thanks to this forum:  Overflow tubes / 2 minute jet, home made knee savers and passenger peg lowering, home made fairing brace, home made top case mount, top case, bar risers - and because motorcycles are supposed to be black -  a new paint job (el cheapo garage style).  That should see me through the next 6 months, then I'll decide on how much I want to put into performance upgrades like Shoodaben "7th gear", cam, etc.

That's an open cockpit tandem kayak built by my father for my wife and I.  It's fiberglass over a strip built wood frame.  Don't know if the forum likes pics of non motorcycle stuff in their threads, but I got plenty of pics.  Pop used 7 different types of wood in the construction, and she's really great on still / calm water, salt or fresh.  He builds kayaks, canoes, and SUPs as a hobby now that he's retired.

I bought her a few years ago at a "salvage" bike dealer in Southern Maryland  (the front fender is not black like the rest but a VERY dark metalic blue... which can only be seen in bright sun)

Hi guys,
Fantastic forum; I can feel all the love for these great machines.
Just purchased a new-to-me 2004 Connie ($1500!!!!!!!!!!! Just dropped cpl times and needed new brakes all around is all) and have yet to find an owner's manual. I love the beast and named her Fenrir (after the Norse Wolf :D). I plan on doing most all my own work. Anyone know where to find a PDF(etc.) file of the manual? I'm a new rider (took the basic ridercourse). Also, if anyone can tell me what this rocker control (with grip bumps on top and bottom button face) on the left dash does, I'd appreciate it a lot!!

Sweet looking bike, how do you find the delkeviks..

They came with the bike when I bought it, so I don't have much in the way of comparison to stock exhaust components.  They are just a hair louder than I'd like sometimes, but they do give the bike a decent old-school superbike growl.  Connie sounds meaner than my old 900 Ninja did, and it really gets pretty good above 6,000 RPM. 

I've considered changing them out for something just a bit quieter, if only because I like to ride late at night, and I'm sure my neighbors don't appreciate it much, but it hasn't bothered me enough to swap them out just yet.  The build quality seems high, they aren't tarnished or rusting, and they haven't caused me any issues!

In terms of power or torque, I imagine any changes are largely negligible.  Even if there were to be some additional output on the top-end, you probably won't ever be able to tell on a 600+ pound bike like Connie.  If you want a little more noise so's people know you're coming, they're a good fit!

The seat bag is a Saddleman Sport Wide Tunnel bag. I got it from Dennis Kirk. It is a nice bag and you can adjust were on the seat you put it so you can lean on it. It comes off with 3 quick release cam buckles and the harness stays on the seat. They don't work on a C-14 because the saddlebags are too close to the top of the seat.

The attachment doesn't show on the preview, but I have to post this to see if it shows on the post.
Here's my 2002 Concours that I just bought October 8, 2020. It is my first sport-touring bike. I was riding a 1980 Honda GL1100 and a 1985 Honda Sabre 700, but this Concours replaces both of them. I wanted a bike with quicker response to throttle, brakes, and steering and this bike has it. It is a tourer that's also fun to ride around home.

This is how Otto looked when I bought him in 2002.

Then after bouncing off a car that turned across my path in 2007 he got reworked into this.

After a dropping him in 2016 avoiding a car crash he turned green.
