1997 XII 225k original miles on it

Post by I got a red one »

Hi all. Just traded a 2000 Concours with 45k miles for this bike. It was rebuilt from the ground up. The owner gave me a binder I needed help carrying of all the work done to it. It runs great typical speedo off issues etc non factory radio installed with remote but it is my 1st real touring bike, had an ST1100 and a pacific coast before.

Henry, I don't know much about the Connie's but I do know that I absolutely love my Voyager. Take time to read through the forums and never be shy about asking questions. Trust me I've asked a few that I thought I knew the answers already but was amazed at the responses. Sometimes I'm spot on and others not so close, also the Master Mechanic and most valued plethora of knowledge on these is Carl Leo. There are experts in various fields of specialty on here as well as others who just know a heck of a lot about them.
:thmup: Welcome to the forum and family! :clap:

Do a search on this forum for posts from member 'Old Man Rock'. He chronicled the overhaul process here. Dave is a very good mechanic. I wish I had gotten that bike, but then I already have one.

I tried to load a photo, but jpg not allowed? The most common image file not allowed???? What's with that?
The bike was owned by Dave, aka Old Man Rock or OMR. He overhauled it and there are lots of pictures of the process on the forum.
