Definitely going up.
I would say you could see $14-15,000 for it??

I dont think so, my guess is $8500.

Nice! Amazing it only had 955 miles.
Yes it needs the carbs synced.
Did you change the timing chain tensioner parts while you had the top end opened?
Yeah, I have a buddy that has mercury gauges that I always meant to "sync" up with, haha! I attached a pic of the original guide and tensioner and they looked so amazing I didn't need to replace them. Hopefully the photos attach to this. And as far as Austin to Oregon to Austin, I'm a vagabond, haha! Work in the film industry to constantly moving for gigs. I have a house in Austin and the bike is there but I travel a ton. Sad to let her go but just so thankful for the enjoyment I had. It's not the destination, it's the journey and again, I super appreciate all the old timers on here for helping put this girl back on the road!

Not looking to drive any engagement with the auction....

We are happy to see the bike again and to see what it sells for, the high bid is good and should end higher in the last couple minutes.
Stev-o, I remember you being a big part of how this bike got running again. Thanks so much!! I will say if you or anyone else wants a gander at the shared photo album, please have a look at this link. https://photos.app.goo.gl/Wr8xE3d4vZqV73YQ6

Actually disappointing it went so low.
I wonder where the new owner is from?

BaT doesnt give out personal information, buy he [Snoopy!] also purchased a K6, four vintage Corvettes, two VW buses and a '68 Mustang convertible!  Good taste in vehicles...

BTW - the seller did provide a link to this build thread in the comments so maybe the new owner will visit us here?
