This bike is electric start and has a kicker that works too...Here is my 79 Shovel that was completely gone through. It literally needs nothing and runs like a top.I've owned it for 3 years and bought it from someone who had frame off restored it just the way you see it. I've ridden it about 3k a year since I've owned it and its given me problems twice. The first time was a loose wire and the second time the gaskets were starting to leak oil on the jug. If you see the last photos, ou will see that I had the engine removed, eplaced all the gaskets and had the transmission gone through just to make sure there would be no problems in the future. This bike has been professionally maintained by a local shop here in Denver. This last service cost me $2400 to get it done right... I let the pros take care of my stuff because as much as I know motorcycles, he pros know them better. Its a kick in the butt to ride. The motor is stock because I like my bikes reliable! If you hop up (and I have done this to other shovels of mine) not matter how well its done, ou'll have problems with them overheating and causing a bunch of issues. So I leave them almost stock. This motor has a little bit hotter of a cam but that's it. When the shop took apart the tranny for inspection he said "Its literally like new" on the inside. The seat has cracks in it as yo can see. The rear brake caliper has a gauge in in it. The tank has a scratch in it. I removed the forward controls and added the mid controls.The bike comes with the forward controls too just in case you want to move them forward again. The only complain I have is that the mid controls make it harder to find neutral but are great for the longer hauls. Bike is located here in Denver. I can ship it for about $1200 but I will assist you in setting that up. Thanks for looking....
