THIS BIKE WAS ORIGINALLY MADE FOR OFF ROAD USE, BUT I CONVERTED IT FOR RIDING ON THE STREET. A SPEEDOMETER, FRONT AND REAR LIGHTS AND TURN SIGNALS WERE ADDED FOR SAFETY. THE SPOKE WHEELS WERE REPLACED WITH MAG WHEELS FROM A KZ550 WHICH ALLOWED FOR BETTER BREAKING AND EASIER CLEANING AND IN MY OPINION A BETTER LOOK. THE SIDE NUMBER PLATES WERE REMOVED AND PAINTED PLEXIGLAS PANELS WERE INSTALLED TO BETTER SHOW OFF THE NICKLE PLATED FRAME. THE MAG WAS REPLACED WITH A GENERATOR/REGULATOR AND BATTERY TO RUN THE LIGHTS AND IGNITION. AN ELECTRONIC REGULATOR AND ELECTRONIC IGNITION WERE INSTALLED AS WERE AN OIL COOLER AND OIL FILTER TO INCREASE THE OIL CAPACITY AND BETTER COOL THE OIL. AN OIL PRESSURE GAUGE WAS ALSO ADD FOR PEACE OF MIND ANS SITS NEXT TO THE SPEEDOMETER. THE BIKE IS LIGHT,NIMBLE AND FAST AND A JOY TO DRIVE, ESPECIALLY ON CURVY ROADS. IN THE PIX THE FRONT FENDER IS REMOVED TO GIVE IT THAT LOOK, BUT IT COMES WITH THE BIKE. THE ENGINE IS A 500CC FULL ROLLER CRANK WITH LESS THAN THREE THOUSAND MILES ON IT. IT IS SOUND AND STRONG AND STARTS ON THE FIRST KICK. THIS IS OLD SCHOOL, NO ELECTRIC START. I'VE OWNED THIS BIKE SINCE 1985 AND SOME PEOPLE MIGHT NOT LIKE THE CHANGES I MADE TO IT, BUT THERE ARE A LOT MORE STREETS OUT THERE THAN THERE ARE DIRT ROADS. THIS IS NOT A SHOW BIKE. IT IS A CLEAN RIDE TO BE RIDDEN AND ENJOYED. WHEN I WORKED AT THE JAGUAR DEALER IN SAN JOSE SOME YEARS AGO THIS WAS MY DAILY DRIVER FOR FIVE YEARS. SINCE I HAD A HEART ATTACK AFTER CHRISTMAS, I NOW CONFINE MYSELF TO FOUR WHEELS AND WILL BE VERY SORRY TO SEE THIS GO. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FEEL FREE TO CALL ME AT 410-422-6590. BUYER WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR PICKUP OR SHIPPING. I WILL HELP HOWEVER I CAN TO GET THE BIKE TO ITS NEW HOME. THE BIKE IS SOLD AS IS.
