I have a line on a 2001 885. It's 1300 miles away, but the price is really sweet.
She's yellow & outside of Dallas. If anybody is familiar with this one, I'd love to know the story. The bike has 68000 miles. It has been sitting for a while. It needs a new battery & at least the rear tire. I'd love to fly & ride, but I don't think I can trust it for that long of a journey out of the gate, so I will take a trailer to get it.
What other long term issues should I plan on dealing with within the next 20,000 miles?
The bad news is the lack of racks & bags, but I can deal with that after I get it home.
Dallas is about 40-45 min south of me. Not sure what I can do to assist you but let me know if you think of something.
