I know it's a GMAX, and I believe it actually is a GM68. I picked it up for $100 at Performance Motorsports in Holland, Michigan.  Has LED Light bar on the back.

Xavias, what's that white line around the inside edge of the shield?

It's just the edge of the windshield.  It seems to be a pretty thick windshield.  I think I'm going to invest in a smaller one now that summer is here.

The red ones are my second least favorite, and the black ones are my second favorite.

Nice bike! I have an 82' 750. Can I get a dual exhaust for my bike? I want one without the megaphone style ends. I just don't like the look of them.

I know what you mean. I love the exhaust on his bike. It sounds just as good as it looks in my opinion!

I'm betting it's a GMax GM68. Great helmets, I wear one. Increases your bike's horsepower, improves gas mileage, and is a chick magnet.

It also helps solve world hunger. Someone should post a picture of the list on the side of the box. It's quite impressive!

Don't lie to these people, it definitely isn't a chick magnet. It does all the rest of that stuff, and it can fly.

Given that you're in Grand Rapids, unless you really need to sell ASAP, I would wait until spring. You'll definitely get a better sale price then.

I would like to put the money toward my next bike to be able to buy ASAP. And ill buy my next one before the riding season, so I didn't want to store two if I don't have to, but if I have to wait, I can.
