As you can see this bike is very nearly complete missing the Mirrors & centre stand. It has a few non standard items to:- K&N filters. Expansion pipes. clippon handle bars & balacked out chrome work. NICE. The bike has obviously stood a while so the master cylinders aren't working. seat cover is torn & battery is flat. Sadly the fuel tank is dented quite badly. BUT NOW FOR THE GOOD NEWS. The bike is every bit as solid as it looks here. The wheels are straight with nice clean discs & calipers. Forks & yokes look straight with good chrome. Mudguards are both solid. Tail light assy is good as are the headlight & hangers. Instruments & switches look great. Fuel tank is very clean inside. Carburetors are free sliding off the twist grip. Exhausts are solid. Seat base is in good condition. The engine is cosmetically very clean. it turns over nicely off the kick starter ?ˆ“ sounds/feels great & has compression but we haven't run it up.
