Prior to my buying the bike a few years back on eBay, he previous owner had the engine and transmission serviced professionally by Blue Moon Cycle, ench Mark Works, nd Long's Custom Mechanical Services. Paperwork for this service is included with sale, total of 30 pages of it, otaling around $5000. He also went through the rest of the drive line and mechanics himself, epairing what needed it and servicing the rest. He took off all the body work and had them painted professionally. The only thing that wasn't really touched was the frame, hich currently still has the original paint and patina. He also replaced one carb with a used one, f I remember correctly due to it being cracked. It's a matched set still, o he did his homework. On top of that he added a period correct side stand, ut to be honest I rarely use it.As is often the case, is project was complete, think he grew bored of it, nd he was on to his next one. I'm not even sure he had ridden it much after, ecause I found some minor issues that I think would have been picked up pretty quickly by anyone that had rode it a bit. The big issue was it wasn't running well, ecause the needles were worn. I re-jetted and synced the carbs, hich was a pretty simple fix. I also went through and re-torqued the heads, leaned up and timed the ignition, nd gapped and cleaned the plugs. I changed all the fluids, s I do on any vehicle I purchase. Better to be on the safe side! Basically I performed all the standard routine maintenance one of these old cycles requires. After all that it was a completely different animal. As an example, t would take up to a dozen kicks to get her going before, nd now she starts on the first kick even after sitting a few weeks.There really wasn't much left for me to add to the cycle when I acquired it. The only items I've added were an aftermarket passenger seat to the rear rack, nd a grab bar behind the main seat. On the grab bar I've added two padlocks to serve as helmet locks. It works pretty well, lthough the padlocks don't come with the bike! What it does come with is any spare parts I have lying around, ostly the carb bits and bobs from rejetting and I think I might have another handlebar set from one I owned previously. There's also a large licence plate holder kicking around somewhere that I didn't like on it so I changed it. I have the original and pretty beat up owners manual, s well as two shop manuals. Lastly I have a spare "key" that fits on a key ring, nd it actually came with the key that fits the triple tree lock and tool box. Sadly, here are no tools.Direct pick up would be best, specially if you've never owned one before, o that I can show you how everything works. Cost for shipping and carrier selection is the buyer's responsibility, ut I help get it to a local carrier within reason.
