Description

I bought this bike a few years because it was cosmetically in really nice condition. and I always thought one of these would be fun to have. The Candy Panther Gold was also the coolest color they ever put on these. The bike started & ran and shifted thru the gears fine. but the engine clearly needed some attention. and I knew it was at least a semi-project. These bikes are easy to work on so I thought. why not? However. I have ten other motorcycles and it's clear to me now that I'm not going to get around to this bike. and it's time to find it a new home. The original paint is in really good shape except where a previous owner had tried to get the warning sticker off the tank near the filler. That never goes well. You can see from the pictures that I have begun the touch up but have yet to feather the final color coat and then apply and feather the clear. I have all the correct paint to complete the job. There is also a ding and a nick on the left side of the tank. Paint on both side panels is good altho the left side panel has a small crack in it. All chrome. including wheels. is in surprisingly good condition. It had new tires on it when I got it. and I doubt that they have more than 100 miles on them. When I fired it up after sitting for quite a while. it wasn't running as well as it did when I bought it. A quick compression test showed one of the cylinders was now low. I suspect this to be a sticky oil ring and a can of Rilone Compression Repair with Ring Seal might actually clear that up and bring the compression back up to where it was when I bought it. The engine is still going to need some attention to get it running like it should. but this is a solid bike and with some TLC it could be an absolute blast from the past!I also have another set of exhaust pipes. another muffler and two muffler hear shields that come with it. The bike is located in Evansville. IN and it for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction early if it sells. Please contact me with any questions you might have. Thanks for looking!
