The carburetors have been rebuilt and the bowl gaskets, needles and seats for each carb have been replaced, though if the fuel is not shut off then there is a bit of seepage. Along with this, an inline shut off valve has been installed as the original petcock was vacuum operated and wasn't very reliable. Bike is very clean though there have been a few small nicks in the paint. One chip mark below the key on the frame about the size of a nickel, and a couple very small spots, almost unnoticeable on the tank. Electric start has been removed to save weight, but bike starts on first kick every time. Bike is very quick, handles and stops very well. Please feel free to ask any and all questions before bidding and contact the seller if you would like to speak over the phone. Bike was hand built, painted and completed at motoHangar.com a Virginia based custom motorcyle shop. There are 5451 miles on the title, but everything has been restored or rebuilt and only ridden a handul of miles since completion.
