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

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

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.

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

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.

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!

I've been looking at OEC lately after finding some old brochures, made in Gosport too, which peeked my interest  http://thevintagent.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/OEC They held the bike land speed record at one point in the 30's.
