**************** PLEASE READ **************** WILL ITS TIME TO LET MY BELOVED HONDA SL350 GO TO SOMEONE THAT WOULD ENJOY THE BIKE AS MUCH AS I HAVE. I WILL EXPLAIN ALL THE GOOD AND THE BAD ON THIS BIKE AS I KNOW IT IN TRY TO DISCLOSE EVERYTHING IN THE MOST HONEST WAY... THIS IS THE BIKE I WANTED WHEN I WAS 11 IN 1971 AND MY MOTHER SAID NOT NO !! BUT H*** NO !!!! SO I GOT ONE IN 2005 .. FIRST LET ME SAY I WONT GIVE IT AWAY AS I HAVE DONE ALL THE WORK FROM THE TEAR DOWN TO ALL THE PAINT WORK AS YOU SEE IT. I DO ASSURE YOU THIS IS ONE OF THE NICESTSL350 HONDA FOR ITS AGE AS YOU WILL FIND. IS IT ALL FACTORY? NOPE!! THERE HAS BEEN A FEW AFTERMARKET PARTS INSTALLED AS I WILL LIST. I PURCHASE THIS BIKE IN 2005 THEN COMPLETELY TOOK IT APART TO A FRAME OFF. I DID NOT DO THE ENGINE AS IT RAN VERY GOOD BEFORE THE TEAR DOWN. AS I STATED HERE GOES THE LIST AS I CAN REMEMBER OF WHAT WAS DONE AND THE PARTS PURCHASED. 1,, COMPLETE FRAME OFF AND FRAME PAINT TO FACTORY CORRECT SILVER. 2,, EVERY PIECE OF CROME, NUTS AND BOLTS CLEANED AND POLISHED AND ALL RUBERS CLEANED FOR A NEW LOOK. 3,, NEW REAR SPROCKET,CHAIN,BULBS, LEVERS AND EVERY CABLE WITH NOS, PARTS. THE ONLY ONE I DID NOT REPLACE IS THE REAR BRAKE CABLE. 4,, NEW AFTER MARKET SEAT COVER AND FOAM, SEAT PAN COMPLETELY BLASTED A PAINTED BLACK, NEW TAIL LIGHT LENS, 5,, NEW AFTER MARKET PIPES,, THATS RIGHT AFTERMARKET PIPES. I HAD THESE MADE IN AUSTRAILIA AND SHIPPED TO ME IN THE US, SO WITH THIS SAID THEY ARE S/S MADE SO THEY WILL NEVER RUST LIKE THE OLD ONES.THE ONLY THING THAT WOULD TELL THAT THERE NOT FACTORY IS THE WRITING ON THE SIDE( SPARK ARRESTOR ) 6,, COMPLETE TOOL KIT WITH CORRECT TOOL CAP. AS YOU KNOW THEY ALLWAYS CAME OFF IN THE WOODS SO THERE HARD TO FIND. 7,, FACTORY SALES BROCHURE FROM 1971, FACTORY OWNERS MANUAL,ALSO IT DOES HAVE THE FACTORY RUBBER STRAP THAT HOLDS THE BATERY DOWN AND !!!! I HAVE THE BATTERY PLASTIC COVER THAT IS VERY VERY RARE TO HAVE. 8,, COMPLETE PAINT WITH CORRECT FACTORY COLOR WITH ( PPG ) PAINT CANDY SAPHIRE BLUE AND I ALSO PAINTED THE STRIPE INSTEAD OF A DECAL.. 9,, AFTERMARKET CORRECT REAR LUGGAGE RACK AN FRT FORK BRACE.. NEW FACTORY AIR CLEANERS. 10,, ALL LIGHTS , HI AND LOW BEAM, BRAKE LIGHTS AND HORN,,, AND ALL WORK AS THEY SHOULD.. EVEN THE RED LIGHT FOR THE HI BEAM WORKS..ALSO A NEW FACTORY CORRECT HANDLE BAR BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH.NEW BATTERY 11,, A JUST ABOUT COMPLETE BOOK OF PICS THAT I TOOK AS I DID THE BIKE,,,*******HERES SOMETHING PRETTY COOL*******,, ALL THE PAGES OF ( CYCLE WORLD MAGAZINE ) FROM JAN,, 1971 ,, THE BAD,, THERES REALLY NOT MUCH ALTHOUGH YOU WILL HAVE TO CLEAN AND RESET THE CARBS , IT WAS HARD TO START AND IT ALSO SPUDDERED A BIT BUT THATS ABOUT ALL ..I JUST DONT HAVE THE TIME ANYMORE TO FOOL WITH IT...THERE ARE A FEW VERY VERY SMALL CRACKS IN THE SIDE COVERS.THAT ARE HARD TO SEE BUT THERE THERE,, AND THERE IS A SLIGHT BEND IN THE HANDLE BARS. OTHER THEN THAT A WOULD LIKE YOU TO FIND ANOTHER AS CLEAN AS THIS ONE.. I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT THIS BIKE HAS WON MANY MANY TROPHYS FROM 1ST TO 2ND PLACE AND I HAVE THEM TO SHOW FOR IT. THIS IS ABOUT THE HARDEST THING I'VE DONE IN A WHILE BUT IT HAS TO GO SO I HOPE WHOM EVER GETS THIS BIKE WOULD TREAT IT AS I HAVE. I HAVE A CLEAR TITLE,, ( NOTE THAT THE TITLE HAS 1972 ON IT BUT IT IS A 1971SL 350 ) JUST WANTED TO CLEAR THAT UP.. I DONT KNOW WHY ITS LIKE THAT MAYBE A ( DMV ) MISTAKE BUT IT REALLY DOESNT MATTER. I WILL GIVE A BILL OF SALES ONLY BECAUSE A TITLE IS NOT REQUIRED IN ALABAMA ALTHOUGH I HAVE ONE.... ALSO THIS BIKE IS NOT REGESTERED TO DRIVE ON THE ROAD.. I ONLY DID THIS BIKE FOR SHOW AND TRAILER IT EVERY WHERE I NEEDED.. YOU MAY NEED TO CK YOUR ( DMV ) ALSO THE MILES ARE AROUND 11000 OR SO .. SEE PICTURES.. SHIPPING !!!! ???? I REALLY DONT WANT TO SHIP THIS BIKE I WOULD REALLY LIKE A PERSONAL DELIVERY ON IT. NOTE !! IF YOU DO WANT TO SHIP IT THEN YOU WOULD HAVE TO MAKE ALL ARRANGEMENTS FROM THE BIKE TO THE EXTRA ITEMS I HAVE.. PAYMENT !!! I WOULD LIKE A $125.00 NON REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT AFTER THE AUCTION WITHIN 48 HRS .. THE REST PAID IN CASH APON DELIVERY...I'M ALSO GOING TO HAVE A RESERVE THAT I WILL NOT DISCLOSE ALTHOUGH I HAVE $3800.00 IN IT AND COUNTLESS HOURS IN DOING THE BIKE BUT WE ALL KNOW ITS A LABOR OF LOVE SO I KNOW I WILL NEVER GET THAT BACK.....I ASSURE YOU MY RESERVE IS LOWER THEN WHAT I HAVE IN IT... I ALSO WATCH ONE GO FOR $3000.00 NOT EVEN IN THE CONDITION THIS ONE IS.. WELL I HOPE I'VE DISCRIBE ALL AS I KNOW IT AND IF I'VE FORGOT SOMETHING ITS BECAUSE I'VE DONE SO MUCH TO THE BIKE I CANT REMEMBER ALL OF IT....
