Doesn't snug up to the tankOil pan was leaking a very little bit (I have snugged the bolts and it may have stopped)Carb bowls leak a little gas (probably will need new bowl gaskets)No tire pumpWrong mirrorsGas tank has a slight impression in the right side (might be able to pop out) I cannot get a picture to show itNo pin striping on rear fender, half of front fender, striping on tank is not very goodSeat missing grab bar In summary.

Parts that appear to be original are in very good, non corroded condition.I added detailed pictures of handlebar controls that while they have normal wear and show their age, they are NOT corroded.Lester wheels are very nice condition, no corrosion. Detail picture added.It has a steering damper.
