Nice find, funny it has all that highway gear but only 8500 miles.  What are your plans for her?

Thanks!! Some more photos...I thought it was strange my self with the low miles but the previous owner said it belong to his uncle that basically just did not ride much, he had it for about 3 years and put less than 500 miles on it. It needs some carb work but the engine runs strong, brakes and tires in good shape and basically rust free but I will have a better look this weekend.

I will need to see what to do with the bags also...

Good looking machine.  I'm a fan of baggers, as you know.

No miles other than a few runs around the block.  That will change very soon.

Also, HOLY CRAP!  I just noticed the riot-shield style windscreen on that baby!  You could ride into a swarm of locust with that!  Hopefully I can see the whole collection sometime.

Many good miles left in that one. My 78' CB750K is closing in on 60,000 relatively trouble-free miles.
