I'll throw a wildcard in here. Buell XB12. Saw one of those the other day and just made me remember how badass they looked. Oil in the swingarm and all.
It's almost like you didn't even read a single post from the OP; just the title and replied.Quote:

Don't know if you're familiar with them but check out Fortnine for your parts first. Canadian, fast shipping and easy returns. I use them a lot, never had any issues. They may not have all that you need but worth a check! Post up your progress, would love to see how it turns out!Quote:

Edit, whoops. Congrats on the purchase, killer bike!
LOL little slow on the draw @Graham_A_M . I thought about both of those bikes, but I wanted something better suited for touring.Quote:
