Foxy's is where I bought all my parts and gear for my dirt bikes when I was kid.   :)  And honestly, I've been thinking about putting black dirt bike levers on my bike as well.  They are cheap and function way better.

RE t-shirt...

Gone to a new home - although nobody seems interested!  I'd've liked that shirt... in my size!

Well if it still needs a home I'll sport it.  And if it won't fit my skinny butt, I know my kid would wear it.  ;)

Sorry Scottie - "gone" is the key word there.  I just posted to let everyone know that it's no longer up for grabs.

I ended up giving it to an older friend of mine from Scotland; wonderful songwriter, musician and singer; expert dry-stone wall builder, single-malt whiskey connoisseur; motorbike rider from way back.  He loved it at first sight (just like he did my B5), and wears it proudly!

Oh cool!  Man, I need to stop reading and posting at 5am before I've had at least 1 cup of coffee.  ;D

If you need any hard to find parts, I can help source them from India. It's a bit of a fight to find and ship to the US, but I've done some for Chumma and it's worked out much cheaper for him.
There's also a lot of rarer parts here from older bikes, that can be found in the scrap markets.
I myself have a huge bunch of parts, and a 4 speed gearbox (whose mounting area on the case is cracked) , whose internals are up for grabs if anyone needs them (you cant get spares for the 4 speed boxes anymore, only full units, that too not easily)

Anyone want my old IB stock muffler?
Also might be looking at getting rid of my stock bench seat with sissy bar.
Both have little wear from use.

Rep - I may be interested in the 4 speed gear box if shipping isn't astronomical.  3rd gear is dicey on my bike and me be able to swap the internals.  Send me a pm to see about working something out.  Thanks.

It's been far too long since I've been on,  it it's good to be back. I am stuck using my phone,  but as technology has increased the forum is easier to navigate on a smartphone now than it was a few years ago.

I am in need if a clutch lever, just the aluminum (I think) lever, 2007 military, with the Minda (I believe) controls.  I will happily pay forward the good karma, with the gift of a gremlin bell to whomever posts that they haven't got one, or if the giver of said handle is not yet protected by a gremlin bell, they shall receive one.

I have found a close match to the stock handle, but it needs a sleeve, and the bugger wants 30 bloody dollars!  All other searches seem to result in only the sale of the entire left handle electronics and plastic stuff,  and that is not needed.

Best regards to all of my brothers and sisters, and I hope to be more active again, life...  has been difficult for quite some time...  riding and forum activities have taken a back seat.

Godspeed to all, and especially for those far enough south to still be riding, or blessed with warm weather year round, keep the rubber to the road!

Well, I received a clutch lever, so who needs a gremlin bell? The sender did not reply that they needed one, so I am paying karma forward as my word dictated. First PM with name and address, from someone who does not have a bell (in the USA please), gets one as soon as I can get it and ship it.

Bumping this thread. 

I gotta clean out the closet!  If you can cover the shipping cost, it's yours:

1.  Old single seat off 350 AVL, 06.  (I got more pics of the brackets if needed).  Clean it up or recover it!


2.  Electra Oval chrome rack.  I'd say 8/10 condition.  Few small surface rust areas. Should fit G5 as well. 


3.  Oval Mirrors from CWM a few years back.  Lost a set screw somewhere... who knows...  They look cool when they wobble with the vibes!


4.  Air filter.  Not sure why I have this... too small from my oem airbox.  IB filter?

Thanks, Dan! Got the seat today, and after a little modification, and the springs off my old seat, here it is!
