    WTT Mirrors.

    I'm looking to trade the mirrors off my 1200 for a set like the ones that were on it when I got it. The ones I have, I have been told, are the correct ones for my model, but something isn't right about how they fit, so I'm looking for a set of the other style. These are like the ones that I...

    Looking for an antenna

    I need to find an antenna for an 1100/1200. CB/radio antenna all in one. I realize that Cyclemax has them for around $45 new, but at the moment, although mine is completely missing, I cannot justify buying a new one with my wife. If you happen to have one laying around somewhere, could you...

    1200 side cover needed

    Yep, I went and done it. After I finished painting my 84 1200, I started riding everywhere. Well, while on one of my journeys, I lost the battery cover. Now I'm on the hint for one. It doesn't have to be in excellent shape as far as the paint goes, but I would like for it to be in pretty decent...

    What's it worth?

    A review of a 1200.

    I've been asked recently for my thoughts on the new to me 1200 and the differences while upgrading from an 1100. Well here goes. Is the 1200 any larger and or heavier? Yes and no. Yes the bike feels heavier, but as far as larger, I feel like I'm sitting down in it a little more and the seat...
