Bad ass. Big fan of the transalps. The 600 is too tall for my inseam, but an xl350 is next on my list.
I've always been a fan of the xl honda., particularly the post monoshock but prior to the plastic tanks. The last of the decent enduros imo.
It's time. Its approaching 300k and needs rebuilt (or at least some love). Up to the new owner whether you want a facelift back to a daily driver, or take it the other way (offroad), but it's a solid platform to go either way.
300k On the clock, and 3,500 is my asking price. I haven't priced...
It's been a month since i bolted the forty together... still no luck on finding a source local that will make me an oil filter line.
Why do parts stores suck so bad? Napa just said "no". Not "oh, let me see what I can do", just "no"
A bad radiator cap will allow your cooling system to boil at a lower temperature. Switching the valve would introduce cooler water and make an immediate difference.
I was in Jackson Hole WY for a dozen years or so.
We made the move closer to my folks (Prescott az) a couple summers ago. Good for the kids (I have three), and there's two colleges available for them here.
Way better 4wheeling as well.
Far milder winter as too. It snowed 750 inches the last...
Evidently it was weak. My oldest knocked a motor over during the swap, and dented it.
Must have fried shortly after I tested it.
I heard it burp a couple times, and it must have let out the mystery smoke.
It purrrrs
And now...
Added an 85 700sc to the honda fleet at the beginning of the summer.
Smoking deal though. It's paid for itself in gas savings already.
6 speed, shaft drive. GREAT bike.
