Gas tank is the large touring style. Emblems have some chips but the knee pads are nice. There are cosmetic flaws as can be expected of a bike this age, but it looks nice overall and still shines. This is a Nevada bike so it doesn't have any rust and the chrome is nice. The exhaust has dents and scratches and battery acid stains. "Pie Tin" wheel covers have some dings in them as well. The engine has an aftermarket finned aluminum deep sump oil pan and an upgraded electronic ignition system. Seat is nice but not perfect, it has some tiny cat paw marks in it... (see photos) It also has a rare "Reynolds" passenger seat rail backrest. Bike still has the original tire pump and glove box under the seat. Seat latch / lock however is missing. Tires are about 10 years old. Everything works on the bike as it should: lights, horn, gauges, etc. The key for the fork lock and locking gas cap are missing. Bike was originally sold at "Al's Cycle Shop" in Las Vegas and comes with the original owners manual.
