5 DAYS ONLY NO RESERVE Hello Folks, This Bike is being re-listed as I could not change sell-to locations and Paypal deposit REQUIREMENT in previous auction. I am not requiring Paypal deposit in this auction. I appologize to previous bidders for this inconvieniance This relist is a 5 DAY AUCTION ONLY. I never thaught the day would come that this machine would be for sale.This is really one of a kind of XL`S you will ever see for sale,even on Ebay.Tough times we are living in has forced this sale. (History) This 1974 XL 350 has a 412 Powroll motor that was built at a honda shop in Portland Oregon in 1999.Bored,Powroll piston,lifters,cam.The bike was originally destined to become a local flat-track racer and luckly ended up in my hands.The buyer traded a cherry 1969 Honda mini-trail for this unique bike.Granted it is no Tailer Queen and will not win a beauty contest ! nick-named `The Moose` it is!! If you ever wanted a truelly fun to ride RETRO torque MONSTER this may be the bike for you!The motor has approximately 15hrs. of careful riding,it has NOT been abused EVER.IT has GOBS of Torque and runs very well.Starts on the second or 3rd kick(if you can kick it over)alot of compression! The bike has an original stock frame with all it`s street gear removed that was already sold.(strictly off-road/dirt now)The tank is original with a few dings.The rear shocks are vintage Marzzocky gas shocks that are tired and could need re-building but still work well for their age.The front fork seals are new with a fresh charge of Bel-ray fork oil.I had originally wanted to restore this bike and collected a few bits and peices along the way but it has sat quietly in my basement.It has only ever been used to trail-ride since the Powroll motor was built.Some buyers may be interested in the motor only and would be perfect fit to a C&J RACING FRAME?or a perfect back-up if you already have? The original stock motor had Approx.4800 miles at rebuild.This bike can hook-up and FLY!The gear-box is silky smooth and the clutch perfect,I picked up a spare new OEM clutch a few years back just in case(included) among other items shown.Has an adjustable backpressure Powroll Header shown.The previous owner wanted to trail-ride and Dune ride so it also comes with a spare rim and New Dune hopper tire mounted that cost him $150.00.Comes with 95% new rear tire that has same hrs. as motor.Front tire is good but has slow leak. I rode the bike on 3 differant occations at a local off-road vehichle park and have left entry bands on handle bars(shown).Many folks photographed the bike and I received offers to sell every time I went.People were always interested and loved it`s look and preformance.The bike has not been cleaned and is photographed today as it came out of my basement.Has been stored inside all it`s life. FYI, The previous owner broke his back shortly after aquiring this bike(on his CR 500)WIFE SAID THIS HAD TO GO!Only reason I was lucky enough to get it! FLAWS The tank could use a good cleaning and an ap of `Creme`,the front tire has a slow leak,the fork mounted choke bracket needs replacing.These things are insignifficant unless you are going to restore.The float in the carb needs adjustment as it will drip through overfow unless you close pet-cock when not running.Over-all minor items and do-not affect preformance.The bike runs VERY SMOOTH.It is loud and has a beautiful THUMP TO IT! Included: -Spare plugs -New spare OEM Contact points -New Spare OEM Clutch assembly with Plates -Spare rear Rim and New `Dune Hopper Paddle Tire`Will need swing-arm assembly Mod. to mount for clearance as this tire is larger than stock. - Extra long Spare drive Chain with master link. -Original rear sprocket -New OEM rear brake shoes -New aluminum 47tooth Sprocket and 52 tooth sprocket that is mounted in pics that I put on that is Ideal for the trails(It`s a hill-climb monster now) -Spare primary drive sprocked -Climer shop-manual (not show but included) -Spare gasgets that came with bike I`m including. -Spare hub bushings -custom homemade sidecovers -Clymer shop manual I would prefer pickup but buyer can arrange shipping. NO RESERVE AUCTION STARTING AT .99! PLEASE E-MAIL ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS ,I CAN SUPPLY MORE PICKS IF NEEDED. I HAVE A COUPLE OF LOCAL OFFERS AND WILL SELL IF THIS DOES NOT ATTRACT HONEST BIDDING.THE BIKE IS BEING SOLD `AS IS`. PLEASE CHECK MY FEEDBACK SO YOU ARE CONFIDENT THAT I SELL AND DESCRIBE MY AUCTIONS ACCURATELY! I`M SURE THE NEW OWNER WILL BE PLEASED! RIDE WITH CARE! GOOD LUCK TO ALL BIDDERS! On Oct-26-10 at 03:30:51 PDT, seller added the following information: I forgot to mention that the carb is not stock,I believe it is larger than stock and has been re-jetted.I have not opened to ID jet size. I owned a stock XL 350 back in the day and this bike drinks the fuel in comparison to stock. MUCH MORE POWER AND TORQUE THAN STOCK XL 350. On Oct-26-10 at 15:00:17 PDT, seller added the following information: On Oct-26-10 at 15:12:13 PDT, seller added the following information: Hi All, I forgot to mention that this paddle tire would need a longer swingarm/chain(spare is longer) and larger rear shock clearance inorder mount.I never used the paddletire but I would say plenty of power available to use it.On Oct-30-10 at 19:12:08 PDT, seller added the following information: Hi All I also had inquiries regarding the seat,it is the original frame but the foam was shaved and recovered for a lower profile for flat track,not as much padding but I found it still worked well for riding the trails.On Nov-03-10 at 12:06:01 PDT, seller added the following information: Hello All I WANT TO CONFIRM THIS IS A 1975 MODEL,IT WAS ASSEMBLED IN 12-74,SOLD IN 1975.
