Hello from Malta!

[SVS140]

Hi everyone all the way from Malta - the one in Europe not in NY .

I used to visit the old IA forum back in the day when I had my 800, have a 1998 1400 now which I've tinkered with a bit.



Still playing around with carb sync, idle mixture and such stuff but getting there.

Cheers.

Yessir! Yours is one heckuva sharp looking 1400.

Glad you joined! There's a wealth of good info here for you.

Designer you may have a little competition on the best looking Intruder out there. I never really like white bikes but this one is done really well and I love that seat.

From the looks of that bike I would say that he has a lot of good info to contribute.

Did you zoom in on the forward controls? Those aren't just bolt on's, he moved everything completely forward. Looks like a custom setup.

[Herb]

Yep, I looked at what he did there. I didn't realize that they were a total custom build.

Yeah I always had black bikes and was this close to paint this one as well but it really grew on me. It's a actually a silver / beige combo. Certainly stands out on Sunday meets .

We need more information on the custom parts and mods.

How about some information on how you managed the paint design???

Herb,

It's factory paint. Didn't touch it.

[Herb]

I have never seen one with that color combo in the US. I just went out looking for pics and can't find one with that combo. The closest I found was a 2003 that is all silver.

They look like Highway Hawk forward controls, I have the same setup on my 800 chopper.
