    Hey guys,

    There's a build thread somewhere on this site, as well as another one on customefighters.
    There are more custom/aftermarket parts on this bike than there are stock parts, but I'll try to list most of them anyway:

    New Shinko tires
    Custom "burnt copper" painted wheels and valve cover
    Harley sportster overload shocks
    Custom Clip-on bars
    Custom headlight brackets
    Brown barrel grips
    Norton-style café-racer mirrors
    New clutch and clutch springs
    New brake pads
    XJ750 maxim slotted rotors
    Shortened/reshaped Seca XJ650J turbo front fender
    XS750 speedometer (140mph)
    Custom CBR600RR foot pegs
    Custom license plate bracket
    Custom sub-frame
    Custom tail-pan
    Custom seat
    Custom gas-tank mounts
    Mac 4-1 racing exhaust
    Pod filters
    Manual fuel valve, with inline fuel filter
    Custom front turn signals
    Custom 2-light taillight/turn signal conversion
    Custom battery tray
    New battery
    Custom GPS bracket
    Water proof XOG GPS
    Other little custom stuff here and there.

    Best of all, a binder full of receipts.

    There's more in this bike than what I'm asking for, and it's a blast to ride, but I want to move on to my other projects

    While the bike can be, and is ridden as is every day, it is a 32 year old bike, and you can always find things to work on.
    -Because of the pod filters, and the racing exhaust, it should be re-jetted.
    -There is also a small oil leak, visible wet spot on the engine head, but no puddles.
    -It currently has original front springs, which are very soft. I have purchased aftermarket progressive springs, as well as new oil seals and dust seals/caps, but I wasn't planning on replacing them until the end of the riding season.

    Sorry, but no test rides unless you have an M-license, and I'm holding the full amount in cash in my hand.

    I'm also not looking for any trades. I have my hands full with other projects.
    I'm pretty FIRM on the price, so let's not waist each other's time if you don't have the money.

    I'm in no hurry to sell it, since I'm planning on going to Sturgis, and I don't think I'll have my other bike ready by then.

    Call or text me at (630) 306-1248
    The bike is located in Lombard, IL
    By North Avenue and I-355 intersection
    Must meet face to face, cash only.

    P.S.
    These are the latest pictures I have of the bike, taken less than a week ago. The blue "motorcycle superstore" decals were on the bike for a contest entry, and are easily removable.
