    I bought this for $500 a year ago. I had it almost back running then I had to pack up my shop to move. This is a one owner bike with 20k miles. I am going to put the carbs back on it tomorrow I think depending on other duties. I and to install new pilot screws as when I rebuilt the carbs last year I missed them! So far I have rebuilt the clutch master and slave, brake master, changed oil, plugs, new coolant, etched and coated inside of gas tank( it had gas in it for 8 years) , modded petcock. I bought and installed a new battery. It has new rear sprocket and chain. Tires were manufactured in 2002 so I am in the market for those, and when I have it running I am going to put in new fork seals, as they have been leaking. It looks pretty clean cosmetically. Pretty stoked.
