Merry Christmas to me!!!

Sold my '08 kawasaki 900 custom cruiser months ago thinking I was done riding for awhile, but couldn't shake the feeling that I needed to ride again. I decided to look at naked bikes since they were the original style that got me interested in riding to begin with, and stumbled upon this beauty. 2004 919 with 10,000 miles for $3600. Plan to get some bar-ends if they actually improve visibility, and black out some accent parts. Matte Uranium isn't my color of choice but it's growing on me. Been riding her for a week. I love this bike!

Congrats on the new niner.
I believe there was someone looking to swap colors if you want to go that route. Search the threads.

Love the uranium. Cool color. I think this may be the first time ever that someone said they planned to get bar end mirrors to improve visibility, tho. Lol.

Enjoy the ride!

Welcome and congrats. Great looking bike.

Congrats and welcome. After the red, the uranium is my favorite color.

Welcome and Merry Xmas, man - you've got the right bike AND found the right forum!

SSATX919 · 12-24-2011, 10:18 AM

I was able to see easier with bar ends, they look cooler too.

ariannasdaddy · 12-24-2011, 10:42 AM

Anyone swapped Body work?

kdogg937 · 12-24-2011, 11:02 AM

Thanks for the warm welcome! Really like the look of bar-ends, but never had experience with them. I'm sure it's probably a worn out conversation around here. The after market mirrors that it came with are awful. Slightly better than no mirrors at all. I'm sure I'll get some good advice and knowledge around here. Merry Christmas everyone!

SSATX919 · 12-24-2011, 11:27 AM

lol they are pretty small, I actually found some bar end mirrors on ebay for $10 including shipping not a bad price but it was missing one of the cone shaped bolts used to wedge the mirrors in the bars, luckily there was some extra parts laying around. Merry xmas!

kdogg937 · 12-24-2011, 11:42 AM

Thanks for the info! I will check ebay out.

Welcome aboard!

Now get rod of those stock handlebars before you do ANYTHING else.

Uranium is a sweet color. But VERY noticeable to the cops!

Congrats on the buy and welcome to the site!!! Have fun and say safe!!

LucilleBrawl · 12-24-2011, 06:32 PM

Hello and welcome! I'm always jealous of the green ones.
