I purchased this barn find last year. I disassembled and reassembled the bike, but I did not remove the engine. Most of the parts are original, but not all. I changed the handlebars, replacing them with a lower rise, along with different mirrors. I went from a 34 tooth sprocket to a 31 for a taller top end. The front brake was stuck but has been replaced. The only dent in the tank is about the size of a 50cent piece located left-high-front. The side panel left is a replacement. The exhaust is original and in great condition. The tires have 0 Miles on them; they are brand new. It still has the original gauges with the brown face backs. Issue: although the bike will start, it revs to about 4k rpm for a full minute, then will come down to idle, stumble, and die. I've gone through the carbs twice, and it still does it. I'm convinced it is a vacuum leak somewhere, but I can't figure it out. This bike is for sale at less than what I paid. It is also NO RESERVE!!

I wanted to get this bike in daily running/riding condition before I switched the title into my name. Obviously, that has not happened yet. But the title is a clear Iowa title which has been signed by the previous owner.

It was covered in dust and cobwebs, but it would turn over via the kickstarter. Before I began restoration, I got it started on a spare battery and starter fluid. The motor was never stuck or seized; the bike had just been neglected. I've removed and examined almost every part, even to shining most of the nuts and bolts before I put them back on the bike. It is definitely no longer a "barn find." There was a bid retraction on this bike. I inquired of the bidder, who confessed that his original intention was to make a cafe project out of the bike but he decided it was just too sharp to do it. He's right; this bike is far too pristine to start hacking it up. BID WITH CONFIDENCE--IT'S A NICE BIKE.
