gunz Posted March 26, 2010 Picked up a lightly used XR650L Waiting on the title from Honda financing. The PO was a big guy. i am going theu the suspension and removing the eibach stuff and going back to stock. have a week or so till the title arrives so I have plenty of time to get it right before I really start street riding it. Anyhow I thought I would pop in and say hello. Here is my bike as it was when I bought it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HeadTrauma Posted March 26, 2010 Clean bike and welcome to TT. 👍 The rear spring should have a part number on it that includes the rate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gunz Posted March 27, 2010 (edited) Iv'e been thinking of getting 3rd bike,like a L (ladies) bike myself for the true dual sport rides that i do.I don't want to wear out my R (racer) on roads.👍 WOW,L IS A LADIES BIKE? YOU MUST DATE SOME REALLY BUTCH GALS 🙂 R for race? Sheesh, I thought R was for remedial.

I saw a little humor about the L sent my way , so i thought I would return the favor. Just good clean fun. As long as your riding, Deosnt matter what it is.

gunz Posted March 27, 2010 Welcome Mr. gunz---nice and clean machine!.Just curious,why did the PO sell?---your gain anyway it worked out!🤣👍. Story was hsi wife got tired of him going riding all the time ( did I mention the bike had 1400 miles on it?) Said it pretty much sat the last year adn he got tired of making payments on something he was no longer using. I pretty much just paid it off from honda. Got a great deal. I mean a REALLY great deal. So I am a happy capmer. Glad it worked out in my favor. PS I dig the Avater haed trauma, , Sux that i am actually old enough to know who Max Headroom is.....
