Low-mile Cal 2 on CL with kickstart
« on: April 05, 2019, 05:37:10 PM »

I guess the old dude forgot after 25 yrs and only 600 mi/yr in that time that it's really a 1000, and there's no kickstart....

Don't see many low-mile Cal 2s anymore, though.

It may be a decent bike with the stock seat/rack/ saddlebags put back on. Whats on there now just doesnt match the style of the bike, IMHO.

The trouble is, so many people disliked the original "skunk seat" that there are now probably many more Cal2s out there than there are good, non-rusted seats to replace the king/queen seats that people once thought a good idea.

I like the LOOKS of the skunk seat, had mine re-foamed with tolerable foam and re-covered with the skunk scheme LONG ago, that and a change of bars completely transformed the bike.

This one looks like it's straight and clean, underneath all those Harley accessories.

Wow, that's a good buy, I would make another seat pan out of 1/8" aluminium and replace the skunk seat style. I think I could live with the seat.

The speedo dial is barely faded after all this time, the bags suit the bike.

Every butt is different, I guess. 3 best seats I have owned were a Yamaha Venture, and a GS850 Suzuki, and my skunk.

I wonder how many heal/toe shifters he has broken off trying to start the bike?....
