I use tapered roller bearings instead of the ball and race type. I do have the mirrors. They were simply not on the bike when pictures were taken. I also have . and is included in this sale . the original crash bar from the dealer. It is in great shape. I have the original Massachusetts title from the original owner. A few things to draw attention to : The rear of the seat is slightly deformed. It has not sprung back yet. This machine has objects piled on it before purchase. The tank has minor scratches in the clear coat and one scratch through the paint. The exhaust on the right side where the header pipe meets the muffler has started to rot. It has not broken through. It is the outer pipe. This machine still has it's original tires. I chose to leave them installed. Surprisingly . they have no dry rot. This is an option for a collector.
