NOTE: there are some cracks in the paint, ee pics.
when i took it to mama tried in milwaukee it was in the back of my pickup in february and the bike iced over during the trip and when it thawed out the drastic change in temperature caused the paint to crack in a couple spots. this actually happened to a friend of mine also on the same trip for the same reason. initially i was going to fix it but after a little bit it grew on me and i felt like the cracks just fit the bike so i chose to leave them alone. they do not affect the performance of this motorcycle and I do not consider them to be a major issue.
this bike is very original, nd absolutely gorgeous to look at. it is fast and very fun to ride. the bike starts in 1-2 kicks and runs very well. i guarantee whoever buys this bike is going to have loads of fun with it. i will be happy to answer any questions and i can send additional pics if needed. if you buy the bike and want something changed i will be happy to make any minor changes for free. anything major i can do also, ut it may affect the price. i will assist in shipping, e: roll the bike on to a truck and help strap it down, ut buyer is responsible for handling every other aspect of shipping including payment. the bike is being offered for sale locally as well so i reserve the right to end listing early. thanks so much for looking.
