Put it on my watch list. I'm torn, because on the one hand, it's something I desperately need. On the other, I still need to either get my bike repainted, OR find the rest of the bodywork in black.

Hm. If I can get it cheap, at the very least I can resell it.

You have NO idea. (My tax return money couldn't come soon enough...)

If you check the guy's profile, looks like he's parting out a black Standard 1200. He's even got the elusive rear fender (although I stopped before I saw the plastic trim pieces up front, or a grab rail).

I may end up passing, because I'm actually quite happy with my "grafted-from-an-Interstate" saddlebags and racks, and I just added a hitch, too.

Good information for somebody restoring a Standard, though.

Guess what? He's got the plastics, too.

(No grab rail, but I'd say shelter, rear fender, AND plastic trim is pretty darn good)

Odd... apparently, my phone thinks I'm someplace far more expensive to ship to than I actually am.

(For the record, my computer gives me a $44.99 shipping quote as well. Strange....)

I just thought maybe it was because of my tin foil hat

I don't want to bid against anyone here but for the money it is at right now I would buy it and put it on a shelf.

So Is anyone here bidding on it?

I may, but it won't be until 5 seconds before the auction ends.

$100 is my limit, so if you're willing to go over that, have at it.

Decided to top my bid out at $75. It's sitting at $50 right now, so I doubt I'll get it.

If anyone else wants it, go for it. I won't feel bad.
