Hey Rob, I'd just as soon not put this out there about Chuck's bike for sale, but the step in the seat should be 2" or less, looks like somebody cut quite a bit out of the front, and no it hasn't just squished down that much. Center stand folded way too far forward, looks like it'd be hard to get it off center stand without help. Rear springs are wound way tighter than the OEM... Remember, as always just my opinion... Also for me, I've always liked the spoked wheel (standard) models better.

Hi Rob,
I don't want to post this because the guy I got the bikes from is a member of the forum and not sure what people would say to him. He GAVE me two complete '83s. He struggled with getting the carbs dialed, had Dynojet kit on, and K&N pods. Had tons of jets and about 8 sets of spare carbs. I returned it to bone stock as he had the air boxes, and original pipes (both do, in fact). It still hiccuped in low RPM, and I figured out it was the cheap Chinese knock-off coils. I put in a relay and swapped in one of the two sets of originals. It runs perfect. I like the power delivery of the bike with an air box better, it has better response. Those carbs were designed to run with a plenum chamber. You can get more HP out of pods and a pipe, just not my thing. Both are now titled in my name. Both have 20K miles. I have tons of NOS bits and bobs, and spare exhaust. I painted the wheels black, like the look. That and superbike bars are the only thing not 100% original.
He was happy to have it go to a good home, didn't want a flipper to get it. He's well off and had inherited a '79 Trans Am (silver, with that Olds 403 and automatic...) and then bought the new Suzuki GSX-S1000GX+. LIves next to Rod Laver and has peacocks running all over in Rancho Santa Fe.
We chat a lot and i'm gonna ride down next weekend to let him have a spin. It runs like a brand new bike and is plenty fast for me. I put Ferodo organic pads on it and painted the engine and other stuff, clear coated the tank too. It has Ikon (Koni) adjustable shocks and the front has emulators and I put in Sonic springs - a bit too stiff for my liking but gonna adjust as possible.
Apparently we lost the last few posts from Saturday morning. At least one vote posting, plus the tally, winner, and the new theme is gone.
My original tally sheet is below, with Rob S as our winner.
Rob, we need you to give us that theme again.....
