Ok I got a 80 ltd 550 that has this huge thing on the front. I look it up and it a better quicksilver windshield. Looks like they still have a nice price on it. Right now I'm trying to find out how to take it off. I got it off the bike frame but I can't separate the windshield from the bracket. The space doesn't give you enough room. So I think I'm going to take off the front tire and slide it off. So mines is kinda beat up with a few cracks in it. Can I still get something for it. If I get enough for handle bars and lights that would be great

There's a few cracks in it but nothing someone that don't know what there doing couldn't fix. My buddy said it was ugly but on the freeway he had a blast. Rode from Pittsburg to Hayward with no problems. That's 50+ miles.....so it does work lol
A pic for those not from out here

50 miles? That's a grocery run.

Well I said 50 miles cuz here these bikes are not the best for the freeway. I'm not sure I haven't rode it yet. It being a in line I would think it has the power to keep up

I just did 100 miles and the Z1 OWNED the road. The 550 I just sold, I'd have no problem doing the same thing. Good power, six gears, (I don't have six gears :ohmy: ) smooth and nimble, NO PROBLEM. :laugh: Those little crotch rockets sounded like sewing machines. SHT, I rode my 350 Honda with Harleys for CHST sake. Get used to it and you'll see what we mean. B)

This is the fairing. I had to take the front tire off and man that was fun....then after I'm all done I see this lil bag fall. It's the tool bag that had all the right sizes

Now you have that big sail off the front, it will seem like a different bike.

You think I could get $100 for the condition it's in. Anything helps.... Found a headlight I want off eBay for $22

That depends if there is a Reg. making them be a certain distance apart. I'd check first. The fairing with no windshield? $50 maybe.
