| Howdy all, Got this 2004 Silverwing with 20K miles off of Phoenix Craiglist a few months ago for $1500: A little dusty, a little crusty, but she was all there. So, after washing, claybaring, and waxing: Ditched the janky speaker system, polished out the Clear View shield, went through it and replaced: Spark plugs Oil Coolant Drive belt Tires As she sits now: Comfort mod: 3 Brothers Performance wide backrest Performance mods: K & N air filter Powercommander III USB Dr. Pulley 24gr weights Delkevic 17" Tri oval exhaust Enjoying my time with the bike, going on a road trip with the Phoenix Scooter club to Route 66 in October. If anyone in the area needs to borrow a variator removal tool, I made a pretty good one. |

Thanks! Yep, I couldn't pass it up for $1500. I was laughing my butt off when I test rode it, same when I rip around town on it. Definitely a ton of fun! Oh, and here's the sticker on the front: |

| Welcome RarestRX. This is a great site and you have a very nice looking SWing. We have only about 3 weeks of riding up here in Cold Country. A bit of an exaggeration about summer... 4-4 1/2 weeks. |
