That bike has a few major items missing or repainted. I suspect the odometer says 743 miles. But why would you have repainted some pieces and replaced the tank with a non wrinkle one. Later mirrors etc... it is a very nice bike but I'm a little suspicous when a few major things are left out of an ad. No closeup PICs makes my spider senses go up also. I don't think the seller is ripping anyone off ,I just think they could be more accurate. The ad says never repainted or crashed. Below is the answer to my question as I was interested in this bike. A second set of questions revealed that the tank is a NOS Honda non wrinkle replacement. In fairness to the seller he didn't lie when asked the right questions. After all it is buyer beware. The bike even with all this is probably worth where it is now and probably a little more.

Thank you for the question.

This bike is completely original. I purchased it in San Diego, CA several years ago. It was a very complete bike in excellent condition.

I completed the overall restoration on the bike.
The side covers and front headlamp shell/fork covers were refinished by my in PPG DBU 2k. The fuel tank is NOS Honda with factory paint.

The chain guard is the original and well as the rims. The mirrors are not the early style. The engine number is 3329 and is the original engine. The VIN is listed in the Ebay ad.

Front fender is cut and it does have a left side horn.

The bike is in excellent condition and I have been told by a few sandcast experts that it is one of the best they have seen. It also runs perfectly.
