Description

Bike is turnkey -- electric and kickstart both work. Not an award winning restoration. nor a commuter bike. Has upside down handlebars. flat cafe seat. and a CB350 tank. 4-into-1 Mack exhaust. Starts instantly. 17K miles. New chain & sprocketsNewer tires (crackless. plenty of tread)New rear suspensionWork done by Eddie at Charlie's Chop Shop this summer;1. Carbs rebuilt. cleaned. rejetted. tuned2. Valves adjusted3. Dyna Ignition installed4. Rectifier replaced5. Ignition Switch replaced6. Headlight switch replaced7. Stator rebuilt8. Rotor rebuilt9. Oil and filter changeCost of the work was over $2000. Things that could be replaced -- fork seals. This is a good evening and weekend rider and if you want a lot of attention. Every time I park it. someone comes up and asks me about it. It's small. light. easy to work on because of the center stand. The engine is an air-cooled type. so this is not a good bike for commuting in the city. It really shouldn't idle for more than 15-20 minutes.  Thanks for looking!Pickup in 11105***I'm happy to meet in person and show you the bike if you're interested and live in the NYC area.
