Just picked this up.
Not sure what year it is, but it is an early model.
The tach and speedo are stuck, must be a wiring issue!
Not sandcast, but plastic cast!
Anyone ever see one of these?

There was a red one on craigslist here in Boston a while back.

Looks like a mighty fine paint job on that one!

Do you remember how much they were asking for it?

thinking of keeping it stock?
if you're gonna part it out... i'd be in for the gators and the carbs.

The PO did a great job keeping it stock, except for the rear stabilizer wheels.  One side is definitely an after market upgrade.  Only available for model year 1978. 

I am digging the 4 to 2 exhaust.

Might cafe it.

But I am definetly keeping the training wheels.
