History
It was purchased and shipped from Hawaii in 2004. The story goes that the owner and his brother were drinking tequila one night, looked at the bike, and decided to paint it. The owner then had it painted with it's current paint-job of smokey-purple flames with a skull on the tank and front fender. The owner then installed a TON of "safety" chrome everywhere. It was his baby. He drove it up and down the West Coast. From what I remember, he took it from the southern tip of California to the most northern point on Washington with his brother. Always garage-kept, and kept clean with quick detailer after every ride.
Hard financial times hit. He needed the money, and I needed a vehicle with better gas mileage.
