looking for a bathtub for the 400cc Electra

Postby jimbo » Sun Nov 15, 2009 7:56 am

Thinking about a Electra for my wife and I want to find the rear bodywork, and bags, maybe the fairing too. Any ideas where to start looking?

As far as I'm aware, the ES400 Electra model was never offered in the de luxe version, so didn't have the rear enclosure as fitted to the 250 Jubilee and 350 Navigator de luxe models, the frames of which, I'm sure, had additional bracketry to mount the rear enclosure panels? The Jubilee and Navigator panels occasionally turn up for sale in the UK.

Might depend on where in the world you are.
You probably want to go into town, and find a up to date Jap Bike store,
With a full spares department, a clean workshop, and kean young mechanics.
And ask them if theres a Grumpy Old Bloke out in the Hills, who knows how to fix Real Motorcycles.

Thanks Doug, I emailed the seller to ask him if it was possible to ship it to Iowa USA. Otherwise I would need to find someone over there to help me.
