This and the fact it's only showing 16269 miles and has been in dry storage for the last umpteen years have helped maintain its original factory finish. We have been unable to confirm this mileage reading. Please disregard it. The single most important purchase for a classic restoration project is the bike to restore, whether it's going to be a commercial venture or just a hobby interest it all starts here!. PLEASE CHECKOUT THE PICTURES........As you can see this bike is complete & remarkably original but for the exhausts & sissy bar. It has stood a while so the battery is flat, master cylinders aren't working & carburettors are stuck. BUT NOW FOR THE GOOD NEWS.........This is the actual bike you are bidding on – Not library pictures from 40 years ago & it is every bit as nice as it looks here.....A true time warp machine!. The wheels are straight with nice clean alloy, good looking discs, calipers & master cylinders. Forks & yokes look straight with good chrome & clean alloy. Mudguards are both solid & are tidy. Tail light assy is good as are the headlight & hangers. Instruments & switches look great. Paintwork is solid, fuel tank is squeaky clean inside and has nice original paint. Exhausts are non-original but solid. Seat is in very good condition throughout. Indicators are tidy but rear r/h body has some marks on it. Shock absorbers are damping fine. The engine is cosmetically very clean - We have had it firing/running on easystart spray but the fuel system & carbs will need attention.
