Vehicle Detail
Ok What can I say. I got in over my head. I have learned that 1 I don't have time for a project bike. 2 I don't have the first clue about motorcycles. I was told that They where an easier version of a car. WRONG. At least in my mind. The good the bad and the UGLY This bike has had some work done to it. When I bought this bike from the previous owner he had new tires put on it. Gave it a chevy orange spray paint job and it was pretty ugly.I have never put the title in my own name i have the title stuffed away safe for when I finished this bike. I really wanted a cafe racer. So it runs. It fires up and runs. I drove it around every summer i had it (2 summers) to make sure it continued to run. Didn't let gas sit and rust in the tank.However it does like to flood cylinders. ( I know nothing about bike carbs. Let alone 4 of them.)Custom exhaust with about a 2 inch muffler on it. paint is now silver and black Has 90% of the original parts on it but this bike really needs someone to give it that loving touch it needs. Im sure it would be no problem for someoen who knows what there doing with bikes.Spoke rims. No carbon 5 spokes here.Oh and it does have a 1980's 550 super sport 4 cylinder engine (4 carbs) teh previous owner i guess wanted it to go a little faster. Thats all I cant think of for now. If you have any questions about this bike feel free to call me. 406-207-6842 Ask for mike if i don't answer leave a text message i have no voice mail HAVE A GREAT DAYOn Mar-07-13 at 19:28:58 PST, seller added the following information:Just a quick note on here.
