Time for a new bike...

...and time to let the Connie go. Since we don't have much Connie traffic on this forum, I'll just make this my classified in case someone sees and wants this bike. I'll also post over at COG and zggtr, but I really don't expect to get a buyer; probably have to trade.

This is a 2011 holdover bike I bought NEW in October 2105, so it still has just over 2 years of factory warranty remaining. It has 5301 miles on the clock and comes with the following stuff that I can't/won't take off the bike:

  • ECU flash by Steve Sefsick (Steve in Sunny Florida)
  • Tech Spec full 14-pc snakeskin set
  • Fenda Extenda
  • Grab-On grip covers

I also have the following accessories that could be made available as part of a deal for the bike; if not, then they will be sold separately:

  • Area P carbon fiber slip on with 263 miles on it
  • Cee Bailey Ultra Tour Dome clear
  • Puig light smoke touring screen
  • Full compliment of LED blinker and city light lamps with spares and two flasher relays
  • Evitek LED headlamps
  • Philips X-tremeVision headlight bulbs
  • Heli-Bars Pilot risers (RAM ball and Powerlet socket)
  • PIAA dual horn kit with mounting bracket and wiring harness
  • AST helmet locks
  • Factory service manual

Pics of my two Harley helmets and what a Wide Glide with 16-inch apes looks like on a 6'3" rider. And a vanity shot my daughter took when I wasn't looking.

Doesn't look comfortable to me, but if you like it and like the way it rides and handles, that is all that is important.

I test rode a Road King Special with Harley apes on it and I did not like it at all. Now you need to find a jacket with underarm vents so you can get some air flow when it is hot.

I haven't decided if I could do a 500 mile BBQ run on it yet, but I will try eventually. Rides and handles great. I can carve a corner surprisingly well with it. I could ride around town and joy ride on it all day long. It's droning down the highway that tests your stamina. I find stretching out on the forward control pegs, leaning back, and stretching out on the bars I can go a long while. Anyway, I like it and it's running good now. I added some mid pegs to give me alternate foot positions. I can stand up on them too. It's a cool ride to have in the stable.

I always goof on hand position during pictures because I'm reaching over the grip and holding the front brake.

I drained out the old fork oil, which appeared to be transmission fluid (at the correct level) and replaced it with my Torco 10w. I can tell a difference in less clunking.

I would have given you a like, but it looks like the like feature isn't working for me. I can't even see likes others have given me.

I sent a message a month or so back to the admins about this issue. Guess it's not an issue to them ;)
