Like any bike that is 40+ years old, t's not perfect, ith a little character. Note - The bar the left footpeg attaches to is bent rearward a bit, robably from a wreck back in the day. Ready for the next level of restoration or can ride as is. Otherwise, ust a couple of minor dings here and there, nd some light surface rust in a few spots on the bike, ut overall, retty good condition. The tank is primed and just needs a little sanding before painting. I also sealed the tank with POR15 for gas tanks so it will never rust again. The tank had a dent (from hitting a tree), nd the bottom of the tank was starting to rusted out, o I had the bottom 1/2 of the tank cut out and a new one fabricated. It starts on the first or second kick, ll lights work as they should. I also have a new throttle cable (not installed). Perhaps a few more things I don't recall. I also put in a new spark plug, attery, rips, oot pegs, hift and kick start rubber, ank strap, ectifier, nd air filter. I replaced the carburetor, lutch, ront and rear brakes, ront and rear tubes and put on new IRC GP-1 dual sport tires. Two years ago, picked it up and decided to get her running again. The bike sat in the basement for 28 years. The bike has a current tag and registration and is street legal. I began riding it in 1979 and rode it up until I went off to college in 1986. He use to ride it in hare scrambles back in the 1970's. This was my dad's bike which he bought used in 1973. This is a very nice, un bike, omplete, nd running fine.
