Description

Just completed street fighter/cafe racer rebuild. This bike was abandoned in a garage for about 20 years. I found it and brought it back to life. Total tear down to the bare frame- painted and cleaned. re-assembled and given a totally new look. The 500cc single is a great runner and the perfect engine for this style machine. Runs excellent- goes through the gearbox great. Starter works well and the tank is in perfct condition. New lighting all the way around. custom seat that houses the brand new Ballistic lithium battery. New gauges and a really trick indicator light plate built between the gauges. The bike was cleaned up of all the battery box/airbox/electrical cluster typically located within the frame behind the engine- A custom under-seat tray now houses the bulk of the electrical components. providing a very lightweight naked appearance. New rear brake master cylinder and resevoir. Paint on tank and seat cowl was done to look like a hot rod style patina. under the flat black is a red color coming through-with sand marks and imperfections as a DIY style should be and its very cool looking- Mileage is not accurate as it has a new gauge- ThingsTo Do:The brake cyllinders need to be rebuilt and the carb could use a cleaning (although I may have that done by the time it sells- Im always tinkering)Buy now and save $$ over spring motorcycle buying season price.
