It’s a 43 year old bike.
Even though I’ve replaced or upgraded a lot of components it is still OLD and will not be as reliable as a new bike.
Going over the cons:
Paint is passable - not showroom quality but not a total hackjob.
Clutch switch is bypassed.
Not a huge deal.
Just don’t forget to actually pull the clutch in or make you start in neutral.
Easy to fix if you want, but it’s just idiot proofing.
A couple of bolts are broken off because they were stuck - one on the fuse cover, one on a water pipe holder, and one on the rear impeller cover.
The remaining bolts on all three are enough to keep them secure and in place.
Cosmetic issue, basically.
Also waiting on speedo cable to come in on 3/22.
If you buy before then I can bring the speedo cable to you, otherwise it will be installed.
It runs great, and loud.
Comes with bill of sale but planning on registering and getting title.
Unknown miles but engine has been completely rebuilt.
3500 obo.
Open to trades, specifically for a pickup.
