I wonder how those master cylinders are going to connect to the clutch and front brake? Maybe they came along with the handlebars?

Well, he says...

It still needs the brake and throttle cables connected and the clutch and break bolted on.

Obviously an experienced mechanic.

Of course, he didn't mention those chrome bores that he probably doesn't even know about.

The title looks like one from AZ
He doesn't say it is a.clear title . MIGHT start and run??Really?

That's a lot of work into something he hasn't heard run yet!

Can be finished in a weekend by someone who KNOWS what he's doing? Again,REALLY?!? I guess by that he means he doesn't know what he's doing.

The real joke is it handles, stops, shifts nothing like a "café racer" bike. It looks good but that's it.

To be fair there is some nice parts and work done.
Hydraulic clutch, how come my Eldo doesn't have that?

guzzisteve · « **Reply #6 on:** April 04, 2016, 02:56:57 PM »

The guy contacted me a month ago, nothing done to motor, not even opened up to look. Well, maybe by now but I doubt it.

I've already done all of the hard work and would love to keep it but I am going through a divorce and need the money.

He probably felt he treated the wife great TOO.

If he needs the money for a divorce, why would he take a trade? Translation, I got in over my neck and I am bailing the project.

It has a clutch m/c bolted to a bar. I don't notice anything else suggesting a working hydraulic clutch. It's like having a "nitrous" decal or painting 'terbo' on the fender.

It also has a brake m/c bolted to the other side and still retains the drum brakes.

I will admit he has done a lot of work to the bike looks like he:

Set a chrome cafe' style seat on the frame
Bolted on a set of #7 ovals side panels
Bolted on two cheapo Chinese master cylinders w/ shorty levers
Added two megaphone shorty's (I'm imagining that since no cost was spared on this build he splurged on a set of Emgo's)
Removed the wiring harness and turn signals
Bolted on two Chinese resi shocks
Bolted on a set of clubman mirrors

He must have 10's of minutes in all the custom fabrication and layout

This guy called me again today to get it running, I told him about the chrome problem. Doesn't want to open it up just yet, make it work first.

the seller obviously hasnt got a clue what he is doing,
but over here in europe i would jump on it if a loop was being offered for that money.
you guys are spoiled

wow...no I mean WOW!!!! Too many things wrong with this....BUT :)

Let's look on the bright side...maybe someone that really knows what they're doing will get their hands on her and but it back together with style instead of bling...and maybe do something to that beautiful AMBO too.

First inspection today, 2 hands on 1/2" breaker bar and yanking turns it over, needs a dizzy, coil, volt reg, wiring for ign & gen.. Plus all the rest to mount rear sets and analog handlebar controls. That's not saying the trans, rear, clutch works either. Looking at $3K easy. Hey, use it as a living room light, batt, headlight, tail light work.

This describes it on the money, if you put a hydraulic clutch slave on the fork it should run the front brake, right?

Went to look at it and it has been deleted!
