Actually, sounds a bit low to me. If it's in good shape, grab it.

Looks pretty clean from the pics I have seen. Though it was a little on low side based on what I've seen.

Just looking for something to do commutes and a little backroad adventures.
 
Just installed a new battery for my sweet Delilah. She is ready for 2018!

This is parked at the DFW Employee's lot from time to time. I saw it again last week, not sure sure who it belongs to.

Not a Strom but possibly my all time favorite hack. Looks ready for business.

Well I did it. 2012 Wee with 4000 miles now sits in garage. Merry Christmas to me. A few mods including Givi monokey rear, barkbusters and I think an aftermarket horn. Ordered some Shinko 705s and they arrived yesterday (less than 24hrs after order). Bike has a few character marks but nothing you can see at 5 ft. Cant wait to get these 5 yr old trailwings off and go for a ride. Huge difference from my previous sportbikes. Next on the list is a new lid and some suspension mods.

Jason I have a 12 too and the fork brace IMO really helps on highway. Also play with the adjustments to dial it in for you. Tire pressure makes difference too. Congratulations, post a picture.

Do you want the picture to be upright in the garage or the first time I drop it pushing my limits and those of the bike?:eek2:

...How do you adjust correctly? With level or trial and error? Is the bike straight up and down on a level plane.

Bike/hack tracks pretty well. Lot's of trial and error after reading a lot of online and offline materials. I like how it drives now. I'm working on the tonneau cover right now. Then I will work on the sidecar brake. I'm planning to have the rear brake pedal controlling the sidecar brake and bike's brake lever to control the bike brakes - linked brake setup. Then work on bike's steering and sidecar's suspension.
 
Anyone running a Rekluse on their Strom?
