Now I just have to find a Roper Rusty Star Picket plate.

Just signed up. I'd suggest that next year they add at least as an alternative something farther West. Rosa's Cantina in El Paso, perhaps. I would love to do the ROT tour but probably wouldn't have the time, as it is I'm going to bang out the stops on the way from Michigan to El Paso in one go.

Be careful what you wish for

Does this mean that you guys will let me be a proper member and not just the gear-short mascot?

Ah, good. Let's be clear, he didn't call Dave a thief. It was said that the transmission went to Dave at Barber, and it wasn't seen again, and 'follow up calls' didn't (get resolution) He did *not* say 'Dave stole my transmission', and I was not interested in hearing the sad tale, as I knew what I was buying. That said, I would very much like to have the original box back in the bike. There is one box of parts I missed loading that I'll collect this weekend, I have no idea if any trans parts are there. If Dave has money in to the trans, (assuming he still has it) I have no problem covering that bill; also, I have no interest in involving the original owner as that ship apparently sailed years ago. I'll speak directly to Dave about it, if that works PM me and I'll give my contact information. If Dave wants the original owner's contact information to affix the headstone to their conversations, I'll ask him this weekend if that's ok with him.

I'd like to think there's some simple explanation or rebuttal, there was of course a bit more to the story but I'm not one to air dirty laundry in a public forum- I had no idea Dave was a well-known and apparently respected expert. I don't know this seller personally either, so there's that.

I thought the oil-sump air filter was a feature, not a bug.

Prices look ok, but I'm always a bit peeved at businesses that don't have their street address anywhere to be found.

Right, I forgot CARC aren't technically V11s. My kid has already penciled this in for his touring steed lol

I have the offer above from footgoose, and they seem to be pretty much everywhere- I haven't done any homework into what slips right in. There's a Norge trans, 2012 I think, 160 miles away for $145 claiming to be good out of a wreck. Are all the 6-speeds the same fitment? Hmmm...time to pull out Guzziology.

Well, I only tell the story as I heard it. Crated, delivered at Barber, never to be seen or heard of again. I can give you the engine # if you find he has an 'unclaimed' pile somewhere. Or a different story...

'Busier' now. This bike is Docc's bike's illegitimate brother. Silver, bikini fairing, ran when parked... 63k miles. Nothing $4k and 2 years can't straighten out. One owner bike, some guy named Dave Blue disappeared with the transmission at Barber 6 years ago. Luggage rack too, nice add. He asked $500, one guy ghosted him and I offered $750 to hold it because I was in El Paso.

Pending sale, that's good- by the time I'm ready to put it on the lift, I may be able to pick it up in person lol

...aaand, the transmission is gone altogether. Sent for a leak repair, disappeared into thin air. Sad owner. What fits? TLM has a few, shipping would be... ugly... Who's holding?
