    I learned a lot working on this bike last fall, but I don't have the time to fix it up and treat it right. I'm asking $800 for now, but will consider any reasonable offer--especially from somebody I knew would work on it (or use its parts). I live in Charlottesville, VA, and I know there are some people on the forum who aren't too far away.

    If you look at my previous posts, you'll see I fixed an ignition problem and later installed an aftermarket petcock. Starter and choke work well. The bike starts and the engine runs surprisingly smoothly. Great throaty sound. The throttle cable needs adjustment, and somebody added those narrow handlebars at some point. I haven't looked at the brakes but both grip strong and even and make no sounds.The bike has been dropped once and one of the engine covers is scratched and has had a hole repaired with epoxy.



    More information and photos on my craigslist post. I'd love to see it go to somebody who was going to work on it or put the parts to good use.
