A bit rich, certainly some technical 'features' that required an effort/expense, like the rear suspension. Very comforting to know the vacuum port caps were replaced as per the maintenance list. The rear wheel is from an earlier than, as he states, 2008 K1200, such as an RS/GT which ended production at the end of model year 2005. It's not a K1200LT version which continued production through 2009 model year, since those had rounded rather than concave rim edges as they were considered heavy duty. I have one on the front of Big Block and it weighs considerably more than RS/GT, and has the rounded profile edges. It's also nice to see he's saved the original loom visible by the original fuse panel/relay box, and is using the excellent, easily replaceable factory handlebar switchgear, though I'd be curious to know how that 20mm master cylinder works (firm or mushy) with those dual, multi-pot, radially-mounted callipers.

His 12V lithium battery 'goes up to 13'.

I like the overall stance and profile. He or his builder have made an effort to accentuate the usually awkward tank/seat relationship rather than, like my Big Block and other 'Kustoms', having an imagined bend in the middle. But I'd peel all of that gahdawful pipe wrap off and bin it straight away. Now about that added value asking price...

Don't forget the DynaBeads!

And why does the listing refer to it as a "mono-lever" when you can clearly see that it's a paralever drive train?
