Rear shock has functioning cable adjuster, the shock HAS NOT been rebuilt. Forks are original and have not been rebuilt. No leaks, dust seals look very good. Tires are thought to be original and would need to be replaced before putting the bike on the road.Low mile bike that is a great candidate for a full restoration. I have limited the restoration to keep it as original as possible. This bike can be taken to a higher level restoration for the right buyer, or, it would make a great addition to a collection as is. If you intend to ride it, seriously consider upgrades to the rear suspension as the only parts available for a rebuild are the air seals. Tires will need to be replaced, if riding it is in your plans. If you are unable to effect these modifications, inquire.Pictures of the build on Facebook vf1000r only Bike is located in Clermont, FL 34715
