Bike is mostly complete, lthough some minor parts are missing, ike the easily attainable and normally replaced with new ones: fenders, andlebars, ables, rips, nd etc. Motor and forks have been prepped for paint. Some parts, ike exhaust and triple trees have some surface rust from being sandblasted and not primed. Frame was painted a few years ago and may need a fresh coat. Gas tank has no dents, nd came with paint already removed and some flat black paint on it. I believe JN may have used this bike for movie stunts, is career for many years after desert racing. I've seen some other of his stunt bikes with flat black gas tanks. Seat has American flag cover, upposedly one of his trademarks back in the day.
