the bike comes with a extra rear rim and wide tire and a open face afx helmet. i was riding the bike in a "naked" state (no front fairings installed) for a more agressive look, the bike does come with a front fairing, turnsignals and wind screen. pics available
the clutch in my wifes car is about to go out, parts alone are going to be around $500 for the repair. otherwise i wouldnt be getting rid of the bike.
i had planned to do a full fairing and seat restoration this fall. ive had it for close to a year and have put 70 in-town miles on it in that time. i have $700-750 into this bike plus tires and parts.
