    The bike was bought from a storage unit and has been lightly restored with new parts installed and checked by professionals. The bike comes with all the original parts that have been replaced by choice (Handlebars and removed Hwy bar). The bike runs fine and is fully functional, but still needs some love. The main issue is the carbs need new seals. The old decals were in rough shape and have been removed and the tank is ready for paint. There is a dent on the right side, a family member got mad and took a hammer to the tank. Images coming soon.

    New parts:
    -DOT Stainless Steel brake line
    -Shindy DOT master cylinder and lever
    -Shinko 777 White walls
    -Drag bar
    -EBC brake pads

    Also comes with the original cover and tool box[​IMG] [​IMG]

    Yeah, me and the family member don't talk anymore, and I am at least glad its a dent and not a crush

    I feel like that is a heavily sarcastic statement, why?

    My guess would be because that's how you're choosing to feel? I just made an observation about the bike. No sarcasm there.

    so you think the tank is ready for paint? with that dent in the right side. credibility is a key to selling.

    "the tank is ready for paint. There is a dent on the right side,"

    I like the white walls.
    do you have the front fender?

    Yeah. Front fender is still chrome. And I plan of pulling the dent and bond over the points where the tags went. I have already done so with the smaller plastic plates.

    If you're gonna sell it, why would you bondo over the emblem mounting points? What if the new owner wants them on?

    Good point. I thought they might be hard to find. Also they are a bit unsightly

    How about starting a conversation with me? Or if it's easier, I'll start one with you… Check your inbox. Show me a picture of the emblems… As long as they aren't broken or cracked I might be interested in them myself and you can sell the bike without the emblems new owner can find their own.
