RE: got the vfr swingarm on - 5/30/2008 11:54:43 AM    kilgoretrout   Posts: 123 Joined: 3/30/2006 Status: offline Speaking of VFR's, Im' thinking about picking one up from a buddy of mine. Its' a 95 with like 35k on it. He's owned it since new, and he's meticulous about maintenance and such. Hopefully he'll come back with a good price. Still keeping the F'er, though..
