OK here's the bike that I was going to go look at today, but had some work and household duties run late and changed my plans and worked on the Sportster instead.
This is an original owner 1987 Connie with only 22K miles on it! Yep, less than 1,000 miles, as the owner rode other bikes and then let this one sit for the last 5 or 6 years. The bike has always been garaged and doesn't have nearly the wear and tear my 1986 has.
If you are a Connie fan, you probably know who "SiSF" is and Shoodaben Engineering. Steve has dedicated many hours sorting out what the Concours "should have been" and then making those modifications for other owners. This Concours has the Shoodaben carb kit-a drastic improvement over the functional but tame carb jetting these bikes came with. The only caveat is the bike has been sitting for a couple of years so the carbs would need cleaning.
The bike is located in Del Mar CA and the owner is asking $1200. Contact me if you are interested and I can help you make contact. Bike may go up on Craigslist this weekend, I found it on the Concours Owners Group (COG) forum.
