Done deal! Now, anybody coming from Boise, ID to Vegas area?  ::)

Purchased from an elderly gentleman (68), owner for 12 years and babied like it should. New tires, chain, sprockets, battery and completely functional. Valves set, carbs sync etc. 17000 original miles.

Spotless tank, corbin seat, super clean exhaust.

Pretty jazzed on this one. Just have to find a shipper!  ;) His son has the bike and removing the non OEM decals.

No luck yet on ushid. One bid, way high. It's 688 miles from me. No hurry to get it here just looking for a best price.

Shoot me a PM. I'll call.

You are correct! Good job!

The 150 speedo only came on the 1979 model. I need to find an 85. This is worth to much as I am flipping the 81.

Great pic. Makes me want to go with you to pick it up!

Looking at just going to get it. Will has not returned call, Erv only transports after June.

Like I said, babied by the 68 year old owner, 17000 miles and in great shape. Just needs the valve cover cleaned up and a little engine paint. His son is removing the non OEM decals for me.

Interesting wind screen huh? Has slots in the side.

I'm cleaning up my 81 for a sale. Neds oil lines and a good cleaning from neglect. Amazing how people just don't take care of them.  ::)

I have got it running good, bled the brakes which were just awful. Going to soak the chain and take this thing for a spin.  ;)

I do now.  ;)

I'm going to flip the 81 but wanted to keep the 150 speedo. Let me know if you are looking for anything in particular. I'm buying parts out in Minnesota.

Thanks...

Well, yes. Some parts. Found white bags, rough shape.

PM your email and I'll send you some pics. Have a set of red in excellent condition shipping to me if you repaint.

No guards at this time.
