Yeah, you guys are right. The triple isn't my favorite motor either, and if it's toast, the bike is overpriced. Always did like those square springers though, especially with the long rockers. Does anyone still make these, or do you have to buy an older build like this to get one? Also, does anyone make a raked hardtail frame that will take our late style motors?
I haven't seen the long rockers in years. I have them on the bike I posted they come to a point on both ends and the front square girder on mine is twisted. That front end is pretty much shot now though. Way too much slop in the bottom and I think It is beyond new bushings this time. Oh and mine did have bushings not like the cheap new ones that don't It also needs to be re-chromed now, it still polishes up but it isn't really nice anymore. That bike has a fully polished crankcase and head and rocker boxes. The carb and intake are polished too. I have close up shots of the engine back when I first polished it out mirror finish but haven't scanned or uploaded them. I'll pull that front end apart and weld up the bottom for the bushings and re-bore them. I have 2 more of those front ends both need to be chromed too.I also have 1 front and 2 rear invaders old 5 spoke rear and 6 spoke front. I have a bunch of that old school stuff packed away. 
I learned all I need to know about life by killing smart people and eating their brains. Eat right ,Exercise ,Stay fit, Die Anyway!
