not exactly a new guy but got a new to me RS 1 Year, 4 Months ago  
Hi to all, I just picked up a 05 RS midnight with 27000 miles at a local auction. I am really excited about this bike as I am going to be fixing it up for my wife. It does need a few things though. I wasn't sure where to put this post so I put it here. I need some parts to get this RS back on the road. I would like to keep it as stock as I can. I need a gas tank, headlight, rear turn signal or a couple of them, a windshield ( I already have a stock mount). If any one has 1 or all these parts please pm me. I am not sure if my wife being 5'3" ma not be able to use this seat. Lucily I have a stock seat from my RS that I know whe can be flat footed with. So I might be inclined to trade for some of the stuff I need for this bike.

Thanks Guys

Thats what I am hoping. The tank has a big dent in it so I would rather replace it than pull the dent, do all the body work and repaint it. That would be expensive and time consuming. Good thing I have all winter to get this done.

You may be in luck. Look up Mr. Shamrock on here, he just posted an entire parts bike on here a couple days ago.
