YES I KNOW, price is high, there is a reason - only trying to get back some of what is invested, this was a 5 year build sourcing mostly original parts, the high handle bars bought from eBay from the US are one year only in 1979 which cost over $300. Sourced an original carburetor and rode around the yard for 20 minutes earlier this year after the build was complete, hasnt been ridden since. Noticed it was hard to hard to start today but never did set the air / fuel mixture from the initial build. Could have easily went with all new parts or painted it but wanted to keep as stock as possible, its only original once.
The rims which are 3 bolt were over $200 from Florida complete with the rust Bought as a tub of parts, completely rebuilt head with new valves, springs, rockers, pistons, rings, coil, stator, wiring harness and front and side panels, decals etc from PhatMX & new exhaust, seat cover custom from Montreal but kept original foam, have thousands of dollars in receipts, see last couple photos of some of the build process This is for a specialized buyer, especially someone who knows what the original parts cost. Also have some leftover misc parts from the build that can be included. Aftermarket gas cap isn’t the proper fit and isn’t air tight and the kill switch was never hooked up, just used choke to shut off the bike.
Only considering selling because Christmas is coming & to free up space and finish other projects and get back some of what I invested - sorry no trades, no holds without deposit, price is BASICALLY firm or will hang in the garage. Have been made serious offers to consider & have lots more photos upon request including the receipts & tub of parts that I found it as.
