It has been ridden less than 50 miles since completion. It comes with clean and clear title. However, it is not street legal due to no taillight and tag bracket. The bike has not been wired for lighting and currently runs off it's original Lucas K2F magneto. It does come with its Original charging system consisting of the Lucas E02 generator and a Lucas Rectifier. The engine was built from the sludge trap up with all stock specs. The head is the original cast iron head with it and the cylinder being ceramic coated silver. It has been bored to .020 over. The transmission and clutch have all been rebuilt and new clutch plates installed. This bike rides and pulls like a freight train. It starts on the first kick. This bike has been used specifically as a show piece since its build. I feel it is time to pass her on to someone else. Ride it on the street or sit her in the corner.
