Vehicle Detail

This is a good running bike that you can hop on and ride today. This GT550 is scary fast and will fill your vintage need for speed. Pictures are with both fairing and bags and without. Currently the bike is in it's naked original form, but the rare windjammer fairing and hardbags do go with it, as well as a not pictured luggage rack and windjammer trunk. The buy it now price is very low for this machine, I've bought another bike and wife says one of the toys has to go quick. The bike is fast and fun, oil injection works like it should, and with the electronic ignition you don't have to worry about changing timing or replacing points. The spare parts I have are more than I can list, and include two spare engines, one rough, but the other one pulled from a running bike and was strong. This is a wonderful example of a daily rider GT550. I don't represent it as a show bike, it is built as a rider with many upgrades over the stock '72. You won't win any concours points but it sure makes it a nice rider and I always get questions about what she is at gas stations. The good stuff:1973+ front disc brake vice the stock drum1974+ carbsPeriod correct King and Queen seat (very nice condition)Vetter Windjammer III Fairing and detachable saddlebags and vetter trunk (not currently on bike but included)Boyer-Branson electronic ignition (no points!)Electronic voltage regulator (very strong charging system, shows 14.3 volts @ 3k rpm)Period correct tall sissybar with pad and a rear luggage rack (not currently on bike but included)Runs very well, shifts through all the gears.Fork seals recently replaced.Baffles repacked.The not so good:Some patina of age, rust on some chrome surfaces, tank has some scratches and a small dent.Gauges have some clouding, typical, not too bad, everything is easy to read.Electric start works when it wants to, but kick start usually starts first kick even after sitting a few daysMarks her spot (not much)Comes with many used and NOS spares including spare tires/wheels, engine covers, gas tank, stock seat, rear fender, rear light assembly (not rusted like the one on it), carbs, fork tubes, engine/trans case (rough), another complete engine that was running when pulled, side covers, pegs, master cylinder, cables, etc. Clear title, in my name. Yes, I'd happily hop on and ride this bike as far as I wanted to go and not worry, but that said, it's 38 years old and sold as-is! Ask questions before bidding please. I cannot deliver but will help your shipper load.
