99 Interstate, bought it new. Can't compare to some but not to shabby for a bike that has always had a GW for a stable mate.

Rio, is your temp & oil pressure gauges hooked up? And do you have all 3 mounted on 1 bracket. Looks good by the way :cooldude:

You should check your oil  :)


I'm guessin' it does not work.


I've seen alot of people that thought they were cool , but then again Lord I've seen alot of fools.

My 98 Tourer has 169,950.  My 99 I/S has about 92,000.  It's painful to think of how many tires I've mounted.

Rio Wil

Chuckle.....after so many miles these engines get a permanent coating of oil on the rotating parts you don't need any stinking oil any more!!!!!  The oil gauge has a problem and I just haven't got around to replacing it..
The water temp has a problem with the sensor, just need to replace it....one of these days... :crazy2:

The mounting brackets for the gauges are individual clamps modified a bit to hold the gauges.  I discarded the original housings on the gauges and made stainless ones from some roll stock and polished them up.  I really need to take some time and just clean the old girl up and restore the luster.....maybe will make that a part of the 200K tuneup.....

Actually hit this about a month ago after squeezing in 500+ mile solo runs on back-to-back weekends. Temps were close to 60F during both days, but by evening saw temps close to 40. Now for the next 100K!
So many bikes, so little time!

I finally hit the magic mark this spring. I'm now at 104,000. I imagine some wear issues willbe setting  in soon. The 2 repair vendors at Inzane this year were very bz doing alot of the out of the norm repairs. Six or 7 bikes with some semi major issues with mine being one of them.

don't put my bike in the spit and polish class. I can Give Dan a run for his money in the foulest bike class! :)

I beg to differ.
My 98 "Rat Rod" standard hasn't been washed in two years (it has "patina").
I let God wash it when it rains and it only is garaged during MI's winter months.
76K but due to medical issues it hasn't been ridden much this year.

ALWAYS QUESTION AUTHORITY!

I am currently at 104,000 on my 99 Tourer. I toy with the idea of replacing her, but she really meets my needs well and it took me ten years to get everything exactly the way I want.

Got 73684 on my 99 standard. Then had a little off road excursion down to a creek over some vw beetle sized rocks. Might have her running again before I go to have my right hip replaced the 2nd time in Oct. will go over 90k next year for sure. The 'old Gryl is holding up better then me. My sons will fight over it when I give out. Unless I total it to bad to rebuild I have my last bike. :cooldude:

Do have a matching trailer for your green & silver also ? I have 97,000 on mine but alas only 10,000 are mine. Purchased it last November . Bought a trailer but haven't painted it to match yet.

The green and silver has a diamond plated trailer that I just sold to my nephew that has a tourer!

Oh yeah I remember now. Didn't you fly out to Oregon or somewhere for the green & silver? If I am remembering it correctly it had a really unique diamond plate trailer with it.
