Dean got a killer deal on his Radian. He paid $100
for it, put some TLC and elbow grease into it, and now
has an awesome Radian. Wow! Thanks for
sharing, Dean! Here's what he had to say:
I bought this bike for an
amazing $100. and have over 30+ hrs getting it running
(it was not when purchased) and cleaning it up. I have
made some custom LED tail lights for the tail lights,
and fitted her with an mid 80's Vetter Sting faing and
new wind screen. I paid $9.95 for the Vetter and $24 for
the wind screen. The tail light are a trailer tail light
from Walmart for $16. that I managed to fit in the
undertail section and epoxied in place. I have rubbed
out and polished out the entire bike and scrubbed the
daylights out of those old dirty rims! They look awesome
now! I did have to also buy 4 pilot jets $21
(plugged beyond belief) and buy some battery acid for
$9. I fabbed all the faring mounts in 3 hrs for
less than $12.
Update - 09/03/11 - Dean
installed a set of gauges from a '98 Yamaha XJ600 Seca
II on his Radian. He rewired it and fabricated two
brackets to make it work. Nice job, Dean!
