Clear

i had to list title as clear but there is none we only need bill of sales in maine,the fuel tank looked like new inside but i used caswell epoxy to seal it,i cleaned the carbs the clutch plates were stuck together from sitting i cleaned them up and installed new gasket-this bike is as oil tight as any jap but it amazes me-i have had nortons they allways leaked but they did shift smoother this one likes to be shifted slowly or it grinds some the fork seals leak some i did put new fork oil and changed all the fluids-its a great bike i would take it anywhere and we only did 1400 miles but its a blast to ride-everyone knew someone that had one or just plain like it-its on origional paint and it has a few blems here and there to be expected for 47 yr old bike-it charges well and starts easy-here is a small tear in the stitching in corner of seat which i tried to show -the sidestand was missing and i welded a new tab on the frame which seems to work fine the center stand may not have the right spiring because it hangs a bit but for the most part doesnt bother unless you really lean it over-this bike will continue to climb in value-i bought it because i remember them in the showrioom when i was a kid and allways wanted one just didnt have to money reason for selling is i have about 20 bikes-its a great bike way better than i expected
