It had sat in storage for over 20 years. Dad got it running, put new mufflers, tires and had the seat recovered. It has been sitting since. The bike is a mostly original survivor. It shows 29,389 miles. It is in overall good condition. The gas tank, and other sheetmetal is very good except for the battery cover that is dinged up. Has the cool license plate mount on the front fender. Paint is tired, but presentable and has minor scratches. Chrome is fair to good, the rims have a few rust spots, but are pretty presentable for a 60 year old bike. Paint on the headlight nacelle and frame are original. Bike has never been cut up or damaged. It ran well when put in storage. One petcock is stuck, needs battery. This summer I hooked up a battery charger to it, put gas in it and it fired right up. Clean up and ride as-is or great candidate for restoration. Clean Florida title. Deposit of $100.00 due in 3 days. Balance due when bike picked up. Must pickup, no shipping.
