1982 honda ascot ft500

This is a 1982 Honda FT 500 Ascot. it's an absolutely excellent condition. I have had several Ascot's over the years in this one is in super running condition. The electric start was repaired last summer and works perfectly now. The bike also has aftermarket horns that are a little unusual but very effective. The other nonstock item is the performance exhaust system on the bike. The Supertramp is set up so the bike runs very well and it is not unusually loud it's very respectable. The idea behind the Supertramp exhaust is by removing or adding baffles you can adjust it to your liking. Additional baffles are included. The left hand mirror as a crack but still functional. Both tires are in good condition in the chain appears excellent condition. The entire bike has been well maintained. There is a folder that will come with the bike that has the documentation of the bike and some of the service work that was performed over the years. If you live close and would like to hear the bike please e-mail me and set up a time and be more than happy to show it to you. Shipping will be the buyer’s responsibility. but I will help in any way possible. A little background about the Honda Ascot's. Honda 1982 FT 500 Ascot.
