Description
The rear suspension consists of a mono shock from a Honda CBR. The front suspension is from a 07 Suzuki GSXR. The orignalcomstar front wheel was fitted with machined adapters to attach the GSXR brake rotors allowing them to work with the GSXR calipers. The gas tank is from a mid 70's Yamaha enduro. The seat & rear suspension mount was custom made out of aluminum and powder coated. The entire frame was sandblasted and powder coated. Other custom made parts include, luminum radiator overflow, icense plate & tail light holder, luminum headlight mounts, attery mount,footpegs and rear brake lever. The valve and clutch covers have been polished. The electrical system was modified in order to hide many of the wires. The old fuse block was removed and replaced with modern fuse holders. The battery holds a charge and starts the bike easily. The tires have good tread. The bike rides straight and smooth, he front brakes are almost too good. The exhaust sounds great... not too loud if you are sensible with the throttle but will make some noise if you get on the gas.
There are video's of it running, riving and walkaround below... as you view them, onsider that I'm 6'0 tall and 215 lbs.

I encourage all interested parties to come and look at the bike prior to bidding, 'll need $3500 cash in my hand before anyone rides it.
I require a $500 down payment within 24 hours to my paypal account. Full payment must be made within 7 days of auction end by either cashiers check or cash.
If you are having the bike shipped I'll expect that you make those arrangements. Once you arrange a shipping company you can have them contact me and I'll make the bike and title available for them to pick up (only after full payment is made of course). If you can't pick up the bike within 7 days of auction end I'll expect that you discuss this with me prior to bidding.
Disclaimer:
I've described this bike to the best of my ability, f I've missed or forgot something Iwon'tbe held responsible for this. Also remember, his bike is 36 years old and not something that just rolled off the showroom. There is no warantee expressed written or implied.

Noteworthy:
- The gas tank isn't perfect and the bike does have nicks and scratches here and there... nothing unusual for a bike this old.
- There is an oil leak from the upper rear of the rear engine, t's not bad but it does leave a small spot or two of oil on the garage floor after riding.
- The suspension could stand to be tuned as it's too soft for my liking.
- The rear brake squeeks a little during braking.
- The speedometer is not included (it's my cell phone).
