This low mileage, matching number motorcycle now has barely 20 miles on a perfect, professional restoration. The new owner completed a record search on these correct and matching numbers and found a Dealers Report of Sale issued to the state of California when new. This bike was sold by a SoCal dealer by the name of “James Sherwin Ekins” (Bud Ekins) to Solar Productions.
