Vehicle Detail
This bike is nearly in stock condition. What looks like discoloration in some of the photos is dust and pollen, not corrosion. I didn't clean it prior to taking the pictures. Very little rust and engine starts and runs like it did 30 years ago. The stereo cassette player even works, although I haven't tried putting a cassette into it. As far as I know the only parts on this bike that are not original are the right side glove box and the trunk, as the keys are different than the ignition and saddlebags. Original shocks that still hold air. The saddlebags and trunk still have the elastic bands and they still stretch! Rare 10 speed transmission has a high/low heel/toe shifter to switch between two ranges. Everywhere I go bikers ask how I kept it in such great condition for 30 years. Truth is I only bought this bike in 2012 and have put less than 4,000 miles on it since. The guy I bought it from claims a friend in Pennsylvania had it in his garage for years and finally sold it to him. He sold it to me because his wife didn't like riding anymore. Reason I'm selling is that I have moved up to a newer and larger cruiser and I need the space in the garage. This was my gas friendly commute to work bike when the weather permitted; 40 mpg average. Tons of storage space, holds a full size helmet or fabric briefcase with laptop in saddlebags or trunk. Always garaged, would make a great restoration project for a collector to restore to as new condition with very little work. Top of trunk shows fading, tank, side covers, and saddlebags are bright and shiney. No test rides without cash in my hand. You scratch it you bought it. Comes with TWO SEATS, the stock seat that has been recovered with a sun friendly tan cover, and the king/queen seat in the photos. If your trouser inseam is greater than 32", your knees may hit the faring in the king/queen seat which is why I got the stock seat instead; I am 6'2". The bottle holder is attached to a piece of plywood that I cut to fit the opening, the original plastic is in the trunk. As I said, this is nearly in stock condition. Available for viewing in Dallas, Georgia. Contact through to make an appointment. I rode this bike to work on 14 May and found out that the starter clutch slips when it gets hot. I got stranded at a gas pump because I couldn't start the bike again until it cooled down. My mechanic is installing a fully remanufactured, (not used) starter clutch 16 May. I will update this posting when I test drive the bike again to ensure the problem is fixed. (NEW CLUTCH INSTALLED AND WORKING GREAT - 20 MAY) Bike has no other mechanical problems. Drives and shifts like it did in 1982. I have a clean Georgia title for this bike in my name, registered in Paulding County, GA. I reserve the right to withdraw this listing if the bike sells through local advertisements.
