parts bike or titled?  either way, they dont come around often.
only seen one up here in the PNW.  it was a 400F with a tracy body.
looks like there are braces over the rear suspension  ::)

for $500, i'd do it, with the thought that a few years and $2000+ could easily go into making it a solid bike.
check out the chrome 836 tracy that seaweb did. pg 25

Valuable to someone who wants one but otherwise, yeah.
The rims would be worth something but it looks like they've been painted which means they'd have to be stripped & refinished.

You were right! I looked at them closely and they were covered with black paint, grease and dust! Underneath looked gold

Each wheel is worth more than $500.....I don't know if its a Tracy body but it dates to the late '70s early '80s.

4 Benjamin in exchange for the title, bike, carb and air box! 

Thanks Steve. Someone here said one can never have too many projects and bikes, and that mentality stuck in my head ever since! Lol

Still cleaning up some space for the bike. Undecided on what to become of it.  Won't have detail pics until late tomorrow. 

Parting out?
Cafe it?
Restore as as runner?
Whatever the case, I'm keeping the wheels!

Steve you know me too well hahaha...

I like mags, but not that crazy about them though...just because I tried to true my cm400 spokes for two afternoons and I got no progress whatsoever.

Quick glance at the bike

- some 60k miles!
- oil cool unit but missing hoses
- electrical looks shot
- 4 into 1 exhaust system, cannot see brand marking.  May be a MAC system. Looks rusty but no dents.
- clubman bar. Are there such thing as 'real' clubman bar? ( thats what the seller said) I see these all over the net and I don't see anything so significant about them....just curious
