New air filter,Folding gear shift lever,Wide footpegs,New 428 HD chain and front & rear sprockets,Rebuilt Fox gas shocks,New IRC front and rear tires and tubes. Rims are straight and true.Frame and swing arm were bead blasted and repainted. Lots of polished chrome that has been clear coated.I ever had the skid plate shined up ! Tank is very nice with no dents and just a few scratches and side panel is missing some paint.This is a great bike.Selling for less than what I have in it.
Sold as is with no title as Illinois did not require them back in the day,but I will provide a bill of sale.I am the second owner of this bike.
