I picked this project up from my co-worker in the fall of 2012 who didn't have time to work on it. Unfortunately I got hurt at work and have had 4 surgeries so far on my r-knee. The last being fall of 2013 when I had a partial knee replacement. I ended up developing blood clots in my lungs and am still having problems with my knee and will require more surgeries. I had been working on it off and on but with all the complications I don't know when I will be able to get to it. I started cutting and grinding on the frame to remove all the different tabs and un-necessary metal odds and ends. My co-worker had planned on turning it into a bobber. I had all the intentions myself until everything happened. I have the original title and also I bought the shop manual for it which is included. I sold most all of the original parts and bought new made "bobber" style parts. 1. The gas tank is brand new and is either a 3 or 4 gallon. I can't remember. It also came with a small dent on the right side.2. The cylindrical oil tank and cap are brand new. Also included is a used horseshoe (chromed) one that was on it when it came.3. There are 3 sheets of 16g sheet metal which I bought brand new to make the battery box.4. Original parts- kickstarter, gear shifter, footpegs, kickstand and rear brake (foot)b petal with triangular mounting brackets.5. Misc. nuts and bolt to mount the engine and hardtail frame.6. Original leather seat with 3" chromed springs.7. Hardtail frame with seat "bungs" welded in place for mounting the seat.8. Original frame- serial numbers - t150t316 on downtube 827131 on front fork tube9. Original chain guard10. 3 into 2 head pipe I acquired for it11. Brand new 7" rounded rear fender12. Brand new 19" black powder coated front rim with brand new tire, left over stock from a Harley13. Brand new black powder coated 12v halogen front headlight14. Brand new kickstarter pedal, chromed rear turn signals, footpegs, shifter- rubber and front fork bearings that will fit the front fork. The engine is the 750cc 3 cylinder Trident engine. My co-worker stated the original owner of the bike had some work done to it, bored it out, larger piston and rings. He said the engine runs. I do not know if it does. He also cut all the cables when he removed the engine. He told me I would need to replace the clutch, rear brake and a few other things. Which was no big deal because I was going to drop the engine off and get it overhauled anyhow. If you have any questions please ask I will try and answer them. This auction is "PICK UP" only. I am selling this "AS IS". The winning bidder will need to move the engine themselves, hopefully your strong because its very heavy. I cannot lift much of anything due to my condition.
