Used, one piece wide touring seat. The one with studs and conchos. It was Joram's sweet find a few weeks ago. The ebay pics showed a grayed, dusty seat, but I took my chance and bought it. Im glad I did, as it was all just dust that I was able to wipe clean. I paid $160 delivered for a $470 seat.

Well, if you are getting rid of them, sure I'll take em. I could use a couple more to put on my saddle bags to match the seat.

Yes, I do remember that... I hope you love it as much as I do! Probably the BEST mod I've done... pipes are awesome, bling is great... but long-distance comfort is real hard to beat!!!

Jeff, you're such a concho!!!

jeffs99vulcan · 02-11-2009

ROFL! Ya, I'm great, aren't I?!

I am still waiting for my Mustang to show up..

USPS says it came to the local post office (that was 2 days ago). Still has not shown up on delivery..

Wooow is me.. What can I do.

mcwrath, Glad you liked the find... That one posted less than 30 min after I won the auction for the other and I paided $100 more.. Wish the guy would have shipped UPS or FedEx

Go in and shoot the place up... that's what their workers get to do, AND they get President's Day off!!!! WTH?

Can't you call the post office and go pick it up from there?

p.s. J/K about shooting the place up...

ROFLMAO!!! Were you REALLY?!

And Joram, just do like I do... PARK THE BIKE AND DON'T RIDE IT FOR SIX MONTHS!!!

drumrnj · 02-13-2009

Took the Vulcan out yesterday for the first time since the end of the summer and it ran great. Thank you all for all your help. I also finally got the Manual...its a real nice hard cover book and should really help me out a lot and save me some money on easy adjustments and maintenance.

Great to hear George! Keep that Seafoam/Sta-bil handy!

ohsoloco · 02-13-2009

You guys gotta keep me posted if you find another Mustang seat on the cheap on ebay. I don't check ebay that often...

Will do loco... uh... is there something I can call you besides "loco"? Not saying it doesn't suit you, I just don't like making assumptions!

Joram is your guy for the eBay searches! I usually stick to eBay.ca because there are a lot of things that won't ship to Canada, and I eliminate those from my searches by sticking to the .ca side...

jeffs99vulcan · 02-13-2009

This is an awesome deal, if you get it for this price (it's at $10 right now):

Hub Cover

It looks great and is easy to install, and I think I paid $60 for mine. Sorry I don't have any pics of it installed, but it REALLY dresses up the front wheel from the crap looking hub that is on there... I get a lot of compliments on it. It's probably more suited to the Classic than the A, because of the chunky front wheel and forks...

Just thought I'd share!

DevilDogge · 02-13-2009

Jeff, do you speak french?

Dang it, I didn't say speak it to me. Does everyone up there have to speak both to be able to get by in day-to-day life, or is one or the other enough?

ohsoloco · 02-13-2009

Every time I search for Mustang seats on ebay I just get the ones in the ebay stores. Just gotta look when there's one up for bid I guess.

Loco will be just fine. My name's Jeff, but I think that will just complicate things.

ROFL! What language do you want me to answer in?!

Nah, you can get along just fine in English. In Eastern Ontario, it's a definite benefit, and I'm in Ottawa... walking distance to Quebec, and in the land of the Federal Government, where everyone is required to be bilingual. I went to all-French school until High School just for the benefit, but it's never been a requirement for me, but nice to be able to put on a resume if need be.

My Mother is French, my Dad half French, but a completely English speaking family. Quebec is of course hard-core... one of the "fun" things they have is Language Police that enforce rules like any business signage HAS to be predominantly French, French first on the signs, and in bigger lettering. They are constantly trying to enforce their "distinct society" status.

Other than them, New Brunswick is quite French as well, but the other Eastern Provinces are much less so, and out West... well, ask trikebubble the same question you asked me!

The most direct answer to your question: I don't remember the last time I actually NEEDED it. It's nice to help bridge the gap if someone struggles with English, but that's very rare and I'll only use French if they have a harder time in English than I do in French! I find I struggle to talk bikes in French, because a lot of the parts and lingo is referred to with words I don't know or speak every day.

That's not uncommon either, to just use the English word when you don't know or feel like using the French one! Like: "I'll have a hot dog and a Coke, with mustard and relish" is usually "Je vais prendre un Hot Dog et un Coke, avec du moutarde et du relish!"

And what I said above, "Oui, c'il faut. Est-ce que il y a quelque chose que je peut vous aidez avec?" literally translated, means, "Yes, if I have to. Is there something I can help you with?"

mcwrath · 02-13-2009

yeah, but what do you type faster in?
