History
First owner bought new in State of NY. Rode it to Champaign, IL and was a student at the U of I. Had some work done on the place he lived in and couldn’t come up with the money to pay for the project so used it to pay the second owner, Bill, in 1985. It had 13,435 miles on it. Bill rode it 7,000 miles since 1985!
Condition
Good tank, on the inside. Outside is has a few small scratches and has a dent or two. Has a 3" tear in the right side of the seat. Has a KG luggage rack back rest, period correct!. It is missing the dust cover on the rear brake caliper which does not affect braking but looks unfinished. It needs new tires before you ride the Iron Butt Rally, a new chain (at some point), and new mufflers (included!), A new choke cable will cure the friction lock issue. Also has a European headlight switch. You can actually shut the headlight off. How novel! It works fine, but needs the thumb pad. Runs well... it’s a six speed and even the gear number display on the dash works! All lights and electrics work.

adjusted valves (w/ new valve cover gasket)
