Miles Posted February 16, 2013 Share #5 Posted February 16, 2013 David,David, David.. There were all kinds of 1st Gens out there for sale...... Dan, I would argue that statement. I have been trying to find a 1st gen, but I cannot find what I want. I want an '86 to '93, that is as stock as possible, but the one thing that turns me off on most of them is that they all seem to have installed the rear top box chrome rack on them. I do not want a chrome rack on the top box. Yes, I could remove it, and then cover the holes, but I want as close to OEM, as close to stock, so I am being picky. I have been meaning to ask if anyone on this forum has...or knows of a 1st gen that fits my needs, as I would like to buy one. David, David, David, welcome to the family of people from the Great Pacific Northwest that ride 2006 RSMTD's. Once your snow clears, I will take a ride a little north of me, and come have a cuppa joe with you, so we can compare '06 RSMTD bikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djh3 Posted February 16, 2013 Share #6 Posted February 16, 2013 I think most I have seen all have the rack on it also. Probably so you can carry enough gear, or Dan probably thinks its the drag chute mount. http://sarasota.craigslist.org/mcy/3546014577.html $2000us 58K miles Red http://ocala.craigslist.org/mcy/3607253924.html 86 modle no rack on it. $2500 brown http://miami.craigslist.org/pbc/mcy/3597020786.html $2000 obo 40K miles Just for your shopping pleasure.

Besides what are you gonna do, go shovel snow? Thank YOU for the listings. The one copied above is the one I like. It is not hard to find a rear trunk, or...(he he he) add an aux. fuel cell back there. As for chrome racks on the rear trunk...that is only a drag to me. I honestly ride fast enough that I usually cut down the passenger backrest on all the 1800 Wings I have owned, ansd I don't want anything sticking up high behind me, as it causes an air dray at triple digit speeds Snow ??? Shoveling snow ??? This has been the most mild winter that we have ever had. On Christmas day we gotr maybe 3/4 inch of snow, and that was it. Just enough to have a white Xmas. I will contact this guy on the '86 bike, and see about it. Thanks, Miles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hall Posted February 17, 2013 Author Share #8 Posted February 17, 2013 I'll get some pics soon as I figure how to get them posted the bike is a stock midnight 06 rstd I started my riding career on a 1985 Venture that is partly why I wanted the rstd to get that motor in a cruiser style bike hope to meet some of you on the road one day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djh3 Posted February 17, 2013 Share #9 Posted February 17, 2013 Kind of a sharp color. Looks sort of neat without the trunk, if there was a good way to finish it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, there is a good way to finish it off...as I stated in my post above...a nice aux. fuel cell mounted back there would be good.
