Just bought a 99 with 12k miles on it! What now?

[O Holy P]

Whatever you do, I'd wrap up any stock part taken off and store it carefully. The real value in that bike is as it is now. Very nice find, I agree with the Cheeser... I'd clean that thing enough to eat off of and get something else if you want to mod it.

Thanks. Everything I take off is getting put into a box and stored. The only thing I'm doing to it is putting on a full exhaust system, pair valve removal, and maybe disconnecting the vacuum line to the air box so that the flapper valve doesn't close.

none you have a stock 99 copper. put it away and get a gen2

Agree, that is a collecters item, keep it unadulterated. Pretty bike.

I'm not into 'collecting' I'd mod the hell out of it. That's just me.

I have all of the stock stuff, all I did was put a pipe on it, PCIIIUSB, and removed the pair valve. I can put that stuff back on and it is stock in 2 hours. lol.
