Description

I have owned this bike for probably 4-5 years and done nothing with it so I am offering it up for auction. This is a rare find to see a bike kept in this condition. The manufacture date is 12/78 and titled 1979 making it a true Daytona Special. I purchased this bike from a man who owned and rode it. I forget all that he told me had been done to it but I remember that the head and jugs are after market high performance, fter market headers and something done with the carbs. This was a very powerful and fast bike. Here are some of the things I know it does need to be running again. Of course the carbs will need cleaned, t needs the dual point ignition or better yet an after market electronic ignition, t is missing the right foot brake pedal and tachometer cable. The 2 cycle oil mix has been removed as all bikes like this have. It was better to mix your own gas. I set the original tank on it for the pictures the original tank is not rusted through but needs cleaned and coated. The original tank is missing the shut off valve so I am throwing in another tank that has it. I do have the left side cover and ignition key couldn't find them today for the pictures but do have them. To whoever wins this auction I can keep it in storage at my place for as long as you need me to, t will be safe. I have other interest and since I haven't done anything with it is the only reason I am offering it for sale. With a little work and money someone can have a really nice and very rare bike. I an starting this auction at what I feel to be very fair and will not end it for a buy it now offer. I will require a 500.00 deposit within 24 hours of auctions end and remaining balance within 5 days. Thank You for looking at my auction
