Been a while eh...dang...but look at this 99

So I've been a member a long time but I've been away for a few years riding other things. We've all done it. Anyway, check out this 5th gen. I've never seen another 5th gen with a tank like this one. Love to know if it's from a different region or a special edition of some kind.

 

More pics just for fun.

 

Hell yeah! Glad to see you back. Not many of the 6g Militia still standing in these parts. I do have to say, that is one mighty fine 5g!

 

It's a nice example for sure, staintune, sargent, power commander, it has risers but not installed and a rear shock upgrade. Not sure the brand, I need to check. Just giving it a once over and fluid change before selling it for a buddy. I installed new tires, chain / sprockets, brakes and tapered head bearings in it four years ago and he hardly rode it. I probably should buy it off him and maybe I will after I touch it a bit.

 

Damn, you need that. If for no other reason than you prolly won't ever find another like it. That is pristine.

 

Looks like this fuel tank is a 50th anniversary edition tank so the bike is from the US not Canada and the fairings probably should be silver. Hmmm.

 

Elka Shock appears to be installed.

 

Buy it!

 

Taking care of a few items I'm not fond of. The Elka remote reservoir was tucked loose under the seat so you couldn't adjust it or see it. Seemed a shame to not see it so I loctaed it under the lift handle temporarily with zip ties. I'll make some mounts to secure it properly. The Power Commander harness and unit were also not very tidy so I made a few adjustments to tidy up the area under the seat. VFRness needs to be tucked up as well. Then I had to go feed the horses and do my chores.

 

Even under the seat looks really good for a 25 year old machine.

 

All cleaned up and ready for the road.

 

Yah it looks pretty slick with them blacked out.
