    I am parting out this bike, It's going to cost me to much time and money to get this baby going. I have a clean title with it.
    I'm missing the plastics and the engine needs 2 pistons and 2 rods. Engine is out of the bike. Cylinders and valves and cams are all in good shape. I have the exhaust and 2 gas tanks, the carbs are in good shape. Just needs to be cleaned up. I have pretty much everything else for the bike it's just off at the moment.

    Let me know what your interested in and I'm sure we can work something out.
    Thanks Harley

    I'm located by Detroit Michigan if anyone local needs anything. Sorry about the bad picture, the seat is actually red. Let me know what your looking for and I'll take it off and send you a better picture.

    picture will be coming shortly, are you interested in the valve covers. There in nice shape. I'll put up pics of both. I think I might be polishing them soon.

    I'll go see if I have the nuts and bolts off the windscreen, not positive. I do have the turn signals. I'll see how much it is to ship.

    I'm working late tonight, should be home around 10. I'll send you a picture of the turn signals and I do have the bolts that hold the fender on to the front forks. Almost positive I don't have the windscreen bolts though.
    Thanks Harley

    There is a crack on top of the one not to noticeable more then 3 feet away and one on the bottom one not that noticeable. I don't know if you can flip the plastic pieces upside down but then you couldn't see it.
    One of the fender bolts is slightly bigger but they fit good.

    Thanks Harley

    Hi Harley, Are the front rotor bolts and the fairing screws available – are they in good shape? Thank you.

    i've been on the hunt for an exhaust baffle since last summer and have come up totally empty handed. Is there any chance you could remove one of them from the exhuast pipes? They are held into the end of each can by four rivets (or bolts if someone drilled the rivets out already). if that seems like too much work I may be willing to purchase the whole can and do it myself. let me know asap talk to you soon thanks

    I'm only interested in selling the full exhaust. What do you think is a fair price for something like this? PM me when you get a chance.

    Thanks Harley
