This is an almost, but not quite, complete R75/5 that I bought for a project, I have never ridden it or seen it run. From what I can see this is what's missing: * Headlight ring and glass * Tank * Left side Air cleaner cover * Turn signal S pods * Front brake lever * Carbs The frame and engine numbers match. Other than that its is all there, the motor turns over and the trans shifts. The bike has been in storage for a year and there are no puddles underneath it. That being said I have never ridden or seen the bike run. The rear shocks are Koni's, the mufflers are original /5 cigar type mufflers, the seat is ripped, the spokes have rust on them but aren't horrible, the fork boots are in good shape (this would indicate that they were probably replaced at some point), the aluminium on the engine/trans cases is in pretty good shape, there is some rust in the right intake, the bucket ring is straight. What this adds up to is this: If you own a /5 and need a parts bike this would be awesome, if you are looking for a project this would be a good one, and you could probably buy this and part it out and make some cash.
