I ran out of padded envelopes and the mail person suggested the cardboard sandwich. Sorry, being a skinflint almost caught me. No problem with the others.

The turn this thread has taken reminded me of a mnemonic we used to use to remember the difference between US Navy medical, dental and nursing insignia; the nurses had no nuts.

Large/tall windscreen for GT.

I believe this was part of the original purchase of my scooter by the first owner. I used it about a season and it has otherwise sat in my garage for 5 years.
I have never been able to remount it on my scooter. I don't know if something internally is stripped, but everything that is part of the windscreen looks sound.

I am not entirely sure how to ship this sucker. I have a large box, that may work, but I expect it will be expensive.

Sorry, not clean in photos- I will clean before shipping. I also apologize for the quality of the photos in general.

Years ago I ordered a front chrome crashbar for the GTS and somehow I ended up with two. The vendor never responded to my email about returning one of them so I've got a spare. Plus a GTS flyscreen with mount but missing the expansion bolts and finally an unlined black denim women's jacket (Diva 2, roughly real size 18 ) with shoulder and elbow armor. All have found new homes.

I don't need one but I really like that front crash bar. I had the same on my GT and it saved a lot of nicks plus put a nice 'finish' on the front end.

does it fit on a MP3?

BTW that screen, GT model, is very different from the later version. It is not a good candidate for a clean cut down. I like it uncut and find it is fine, butlater versions didn't have the edging and are a different material.

No but since it would have been only the cost of shipping I was thinking I may be able fashion a summer screen for the mp3 using the headlight slot as a vent of sorts.

iPhone 4 RAM cradle
This is just the cradle. I needed a new cradle for my iPhone 5 and no longer have use for the iPhone 4 cradle.

Here's a link to the cradle.

If interested please send me a PM. I'll pay for shipping.

I received the bicycle tools from Rt 66 Lawdog and they are great, thanks Lawdog!

Going forward, I have a pair of Giali Zero cycle pants. I got them several years ago and just could not get comfortable in them. They are Italian, meaning over designed, but I think they were made in Israel.

They are khaki colored denim and styled a little like cargo pants with several odd pockets. They are about 38 inch waist and 33 inch inseam. They have kevlar pads held in with velcro and they can be taken out or moved around. And the best part is that the legs can be zipped off to make shorts so you are cool when you get to your destination.

To the first PMer and you pay the shipping.

We have a winnah! It's gone.

Faco front rack GT / GTS in Sydney, AUSTRALIA

Used this one or two times, but I didn't like the way it blocked the headlight, and find In really prefer the uncluttered front end look. Free to a good home in Sydney - just meet for a coffee or better yet, an ale, and I'll pass it on.

Sorry, too lazy / busy to do the postage thing - Sydney it is.

Don't give things away if you need acknowledgement. It sucks but works out better without expectations.

<edit> If you agree to pay shipping on an item you're a shit for not acknowledging the sender. I'd post the buggers name if they don't respond to PM's and reasonable requests.

Always someone handy to be an asshat!
