Default My 94 1000F

I bought this bike last winter on Ebay.I over-paid for it (especially since it turned out to have a bent front end), but not too badly. It's a solid bike with a few little dings that dont' bug me much. I've added a Corbin seat, driving lights, a Givi rear trunk rack w. a generic trunk, heated grips, and I've put 1.05 fork springs in it and slightly heavier fork oil. I'll be adding a rear shock (probably from Works Performance for price reasons) but haven't had the budget yet. I'm going on a 2 week tour all over the East Coast starting next Saturday, so I'll post up a couple of pictures when it's all packed.

I like it. The paint looks good. I figure it was probably lousy weather when you photo'd but I'd love to see a good natural light outside picture of it with a nice background. It will make you proud. Have a good trip.

Here's a pic 2900 miles into my trip a couple of weeks ago. Not the best weather, but it was warm (didn't bother with the rainsuit...it rained on and off...mostly off).

I'd rather be riding. Tell us about those little spotlight gizmos.

The lights are Optilux by Hella driving lights. They're mounted to custom brackets I had made up that use the mirror bolts (I'll publicize who made them after asking him if it's ok, or you can search the forum ). They're wired via relay to the high beam circuit and a switch. When the switch is 'on' they automatically come on when I hit the hi-beam. When the switch is off, they stay off.
