Location
United States
Located near Seattle, WA. Washington state title, registration, and customs papers in hand.

140k kms and has been garaged by PO and myself. Lots of custom modifications. Automatic. I have been told that the overdrive on the 5 speeds is not as efficient as the autos. I like the autos myself. Plenty of power and very quick off the line. Running 15# of boost. I am very much starting to prefer the 13bt over the 3b. It has a bit more torque you definitely can notice when driving.

It was previously owned by a mud member who took lots of care to build this cruiser and was the type of person who changed the fluids way more often than needed to be done and was meticulous with his work. It's very, very solid and is not a direct Japanese import and has lots of maintenance history.

Sorry to hear that. I've had mine for less than a week and about ~500 miles and I'm really enjoying it. Never driven RHD before a few days ago.

It wouldn't be my first choice if I were a cabbie in NYC, but for a fun wheeling and weekend driving toy it is great.
 
To each their own but after driving RHD vehicles for 20+ years and teaching my children to do the same, I just don't see steering wheel placement as a big issue. I certainly wouldn't allow it to prevent the purchase of a good Cruiser.
 
Just joined, I've been looking for one of these as a daily. It looks real nice. Wish I could afford this one, I'd be PM'ing you right now.
I'm local too (Got stationed at JBLM)
GLWS man!

Welcome and thanks! I'm getting ready to drive the cruiser around more when the weather gets nicer.

Posting on Craigslist tonight.
 
I wish I could give myself elecroshock therapy, and put to rest my intrinsic disdain for RHD trucks.

I was at a car show with one of my RHD vehicles once and a guy said to his friend

"I couldn't drive a RHD vehicle"

and his friend said

"If a mail delivery person can drive a RHD vehicle and you can't then you aren't saying much about yourself"

I just about lost it! It was so perfect for an off the cuff comment.

No offence to the mail delivery people here.
 
Great rig! I'm in Seattle and have one very similar. Do you have a local shop that you trust to work on yours? Thanks for any guidance. Paul

Torfab is my preferred shop. They are located in Mukilteo. Tor is a great guy and really knows his cruisers. He has a bj74 he swapped a 12ht into.
