Did it have the T3 front end when you got it?

Sorry for the delay, got busy and didnt have time to log on.

Took the windjammer and truck off last night. Also wipped down the seat and tank real quick.



I have had a few people express interest in the bike as a project. If it doesnt sell I am going to keep it and slowly restore it since it seems to grow on me the more and more I am around it. The pictures people are posting up are not helping the choice to sell it either. Awesome bikes you guys have!

Cheers,

Mine was running when I got it. And by running I meant poorly.

Carb rebuilds
Tires
Brake line
Master cylinder
Battery

So that's probably the bare minimum you're looking at.

You could turn into something like this.  My overall favorite bike to ride , but not what one would call a good investment
