Hi guys, love this forum. This is the S1w that I just bought, it has a Penske shock, banke frame brace, steering damper, mikuni carb and a few other goodies. I'm not sure if it came from the factory with the small tank or not but I bought the correct manta tank off of a buddy and plan to have it painted to match. I also have the twin tail. The vin ends in 5373 so if anyone has more info or history on this bike I would love to hear it

Sick bike! The small tank is not stock but looks way better IMO!

Interesting . . . if your VIN is 4MZYS11J4W3225373 . . our bike was built on 10/24/97 with a white frame and white bodywork. It sat at East Troy for 7 days and was picked up by the freight company on 10/30/97.

It didn't ship with a twin tail . . . but the one built right before it did.

It shipped with the wheels shown in the photo . . .

I may consider selling it as I never ride 2 up, It is a corbin, not the original.

Looks like a clean example with good mods.

Just watch that muffler. They had a habit of shaking rivets loose over time.
