Nice Classic bike. I bought this some time ago but have too many project and not enough time. This was an older gents cruiser and when I brought it home I pulled off the ugly windjammer fairing, bags, back rest and set it back to original. It had been parked in his garage since 1999. We used a fuel IV and after a quick cleaning out the carbs, it started up with no strange noises. Tank was cleaned/etched and then resealed. That's as far as I got. TANK is beautiful with no dents and original paint (same for rear fender). The front fender was painted to match but is the very cool full coverage type (hooded) that was popular in the 70's. The stripes (see photo) are rubbed off in places and I love the look. Frame is solid/straight but has the usual scratches and a marks where brackets were attached. It has a lot of charm and just needs a bit of attention. Rubber is showing it's age (gators, push rod seals, tires), the usual after sitting for 18 years. SEAT- The seat that comes with it is the two seater with no tears . The "one up" seat in the picture is off my /6 and is a Corbin gunfighter. I put it on ONLY TO SHOW how good it looks with this style seat. . AGAIN it is not included. You can still get a Corbin new if you like the look too. The two seater is the most comfortable thing I have sat on but I just don't care for the look. If you want highway comfort it is the way to go. Selling as is- where is. Winner to make deposit immediately after the auction of $300.00. Balance can come later at pick up. up to 2-3 weeks please. I travel to OHIO (Cincinnati area) and am willing to bring it along and save you the miles if this helps you but it must be paid for in full first. Otherwise -Tn pick up and or shipper of your choice.
