That CNW 001 bike doesn’t have as much done as mine. ANd its got the crappy Hagon shocks CNW used.
Nothing like ceramic coated pistons and Silicon lined barrrels, or
CNW Comstock headsteady and Comstock hydraulic clutch, LED brake/ tail light/ turnsignals, 8 oz. Lithium battery,
Brembo master Hyd cylinders, Japanese handlebar switches, Dual output coil.
He has Japanese bar switches, something I insisted on for mine in 2000 and which had NOT been used previously.
SOmeone upgraded that later.
Mine was also designated the TW828. I thought that it was a pretty stupid
designation to have stencilled on the side cover. They were drinking after work when they came up with that TW 828 nonsense.
Thinking about it..the ad says private seller. may possibly be owned by DOug
MacAdam the original owner of CNW. Mine was #9 and it was built in 2000.
Doug had previously had one built for his girlfriend and Matt had a Yellow one.
And it seems there were at least 2 or 3 more I had seen there in the shop, also a red and silver one
in Durango built ahead of mine and one very stock roadster looking CNW. Also one a gal had
ordered a special lowered one. That is very close to 6 or 7 others before mine. If he says he owned it
for over 20 years...Possibly a legacy financial backer at start up of CNW for start up capital?
That bike would have had to been built in 1994 at the very least or
earlier. Consider that CNW #9 was built almost 8 years later ...ready in the
summer of 2001. That’s only about one bike a year.
