Bought Another Bike!

#1

Post by BigBrian27 »

Hello all,

Let me start off by saying I still have my GL1000 and will be finishing that build on schedule.

Yesterday I bought, er traded actually a gun I do not care to shoot for this!

A 1992 Kawasaki Concours!

Needs tires and a good tune-up but I can't wait to ride!

Hey I have the center cover for the ignition from a 2003. Check to see if it is the same part for yours and if it is will give it to you free.
