THIS POOR THING NEEDS SOMEONE WHO CAN CARE FOR IT...SOON! I BOUGHT THIS MACHINE MORE THAN TEN YEARS AGO,WAS GOING TO RESTORE AND RIDE IT,BUT THINGS HAVE CHANGED IN PRIORITY AND I WON'T HAVE THE FUNDS TO CARRY ON WITH IT. IT WAS IN THE GARAGE FOR MANY YEARS,BUT NOW IT SITS OUTSIDE AND THE CHROME IS REALLY STARTING TO GO. I DID PUT NEW POINTS AND PLUGS IN IT A WHILE BACK AND HAVE HEARD IT RUN,BUT ONLY BRIEFLY AND NOT VERY SMOOTHLY. IT DOES HAVE MAJOR COMPRESSION AND CLEAN OIL (FROM WHEN I FIRST BROUGHT IT HOME) SO IT SHOULDN'T BE TOO BIG A TASK FOR SOMEONE WITH A LITTLE KNOW-HOW. I JUST CAN'T BEAR TO WATCH IT WASTE AWAY. I BOUGHT IT FROM AN OLDER GUY THAT USED TO WORK ON BIKES AT HOME AS WELL AS AT A MOTORCYCLE DEALER. IT WAS LEFT FOR A CARBURETOR REBUILD,AND NEVER PICKED UP,SO NO TITLE,NO KEY ONLY A BILL OF SALE.The side covers are included.Some of the pics are from 3 years ago,before it had to move outside.There is rust in the tank,the seat foam is brittle and it generally needs a lot of work cosmetically,but could be an awesome cafe bike with the right help! Please ask questions,i'll be glad to answer.UPDATE: Added nine current pics today.
