Hey everyone!
My name is Alex and I recently acquired a 1987 VS1400 Intruder with 12k miles.
I live in the PNW, Oregon specifically. I came from owning a Kawasaki 650r as my first bike, then a 2007 Yamaha R6 as my second bike. I have ~25k miles under my belt. This is my first cruiser and my first carbonated bike but I love it! Never been so comfortable. The bike has a raaken or vince and hines exhaust, drag bars and passenger seat-back removed. Picked it up from a cash needing owner who rode 2k miles in 3 years and took amazing care of it. Only had to spend $1500 for it which is awesome.
Hoping to have a lot of fun with this bike. Hoping to do a medium bobber build.
What the bike needs:
-Inside of tank has rust, so maybe a new tank?
-Rear brakes grind when moving bike in neutral without bike on, Maybe new pads or caliper adjustment.
