That happens and often….
Just be patient, the right one will eventually pop up.

yeah dude i know
was kinda pumped on it because it was nice enough looking i wouldnt have felt like a total goof riding it for a year or so while i gathered parts to completely change it
but thats the way it goes
also i hate people that are selling something but "i really want to sell it to some one that will appreciate it the way it is"
its a fucking motorcycle dude theyre whole life is about being changed

My usual thought when selling a bike, car, or anything is "If you've got the green it's your's!"

And like IJ posted - it will come, just be patient!

And just to add my .02 on the custom stuff - rear tires over 200mm on a Harley (custom, factory, etc.) SUCK!  Again, that's my just my opinion.

[natehate]

anything over 4"s sucks as a back tire
i know i'll find the right machine eventually

[demonito]

5.00 is by far the the widest i would ride a bike on front or rear got a pic of that shovel? big twin? genny? i might want it

[mclaincausey]

A couple of folks in our crew tonight are rolling on these

[CLJ]

My $0.02 when looking at a bike ask the seller to NOT run it before you get there. Its very important to see/hear it start cold.

[injunjack]

I'm with Ed about the width…but I'm biased, I got 4,5 on both bikes

[Moonshine]

I'm running a 4.25" rear wheel on my Springer with a 170mm tire.  Works great on my setup but the 170x18" tires are sparse!  Worst case is that I would go down to a 160mm.

Just another black dyna.

Forrest,

Where was the pic of the Dyna taken?  The background looks the Blue Ridge Parkway, which is in my beck of the woods!

[Forrest6775]

Wife's sporty.

On the parkway between meadows of Dan VA and Tuggles Gap I think. Where you from?

[Forrest6775]

Vstrom in West Virginia and Dolly Dods.

[Forrest6775]

Old bikes. Bought the rebel for my wife to learn on and I used to ride the piss out of it.

I'm in the foothills of western NC (Wilkes County).  I live about 30 minutes from a couple of places to enter the BRP in either direction.  Awesome riding all around!
