  • Did the deal...traded my 08 Road Star for custom Stratoliner

    In Daytona at Bike Week...traded my 08 Road Star for this purty and heavily customized 2014 Stratoliner. It needs a clutch but otherwise good to go (but does have extra heavy duty clutch spring set but needs frictions, this is a "slipper" clutch states So a bit different setup than older Strat's)

    2914 Stratoliner Deluxe with the hard bags, most of chrome has been blacked powder coated. Painted Synergy Green (excellent paint job quality, GM 5th , upgraded stereo with two 6.5 and two 1 in tweeters in fairing with amp and 8in subwoofer with 250w amp in Razor tourpack (sounds like a neat idea can't hear shit when riding have to touch tourpack to make sure sub is hitting lol). Custom rack for tourpack. Mustang seats with rider backrest insert, ISO grips, 12 in Meathook handlebars, Freedom Performance True Dual exhaust, Ivan's flash, K&N air filter with lid off, Custom Dynamics strip lighting on saddlebags and custom turn signals and brake light on tourpack, Garmin navigation system, Raider front (21 in) and rear wheels/pulley/belt (66T rear pulley vs Strat 70T rear pulley for better highway gearing) all powdcoated black and painted green inserts, Low and Mean wrap around front fender, 240 rear tire, OEM Star Bar with highway pegs, custom wiring fuse panel for all the doo dad's. Gonna remove the silly small scythe mirrors that are useless and install nicer ones. Already got clutch parts, plugs, fluids/filters coming to freshen everything ...and will pull the Garmin unit and rear stereo (no room in tourpack now lol) and maybe upgrade the front stereo a bit...but this is a very nicely sorted out bike and rides great (turns in hard with that fat 240 tire). Gonna remove the tufted wrap around tour pack backrest and get a sleeker/simpler one that better matches the seats.

            This was the 08 Road Star I bought last year for $2000 lol...prob had $3200 in that bike total with all the new parts and maintenance...but it was Mint/perfect and the owner of the strat had a Road Star previously and missed it. He had a mobile mechanic "fix" the clutch but her guess what....He open up the clutch cover supposedly looked at the friction plates and steels but of course did not measure anything told the owner everything looked fine and put the heavy duty spring set in. Then the owner asked if he bled the clutch fluid and the mobile mechanic said no he thought it was cable activated. Then he got an estimate from a dealership to do the clutch job which is just ridiculous obviously. He decided he wanted to sell it but knew that he would have to dump money into it just to sell it unless somebody like me comes along who will just do all the work himself. So we worked out a deal and traded even up. Definitely a good deal for me. $200 for the clutch friction discs and gasket and this is probably a $10,000 bike realistically to sell. But I think I'll keep it because it does have a ton of good parts on it. It will simply take the place of my '08 Roadstar and be my long distance bike especially with the 66 tooth rear pulley. But he got what he wanted which was a road star completely done ready to ride need nothing etc.

            Plus since I finished my 09 Liner I needed a new project. If I'm not in the garage fiddling around when it's too cold to ride I get kind of angry....

                          We got that shit yesterday. Supposed to be some more tomorrow. I guess I'm still waiting on some bike parts so it's not like I'm going to ride soon anyway. But I'm ready for this white crap to be done.
