The only consolation is that this was probably done back in the day when these bikes were worth (relatively) nothing.

Cam, not too far off from the "Grape Ape" 350 you're working on. I said all you had to do was hard tail it.  :haw:

Someone did something similar to an H2 recently. Although that one has a smaller frame. I'm sure some of you guys saw that piece of work. Looks like a Rat Fink bike.  :umm:

Yeah, right on!  :righteous:
Not really my style though. If someone wants to Easy Rider their RD I still have those bars. :vroom:

If that tank is in good shape, the motor turns over and the chambers are something decent the price is not really all that out of line on it.  I say you would definitely have to give it a look over in person though.

Would have been cool if Peter Fonda had a triple in his bike. :metal:

I love it and would buy that in a heartbeat if I could.
Personally I'd love to build a mean digger out of one. 
You guys remember Slim? 
How many more resto/cafe-ish builds do we need?  This is a period platform for these choppers. 
I see a lot of potential to make a rad bike outta that.

What Nathan ^ said.

Would be great fun to buy, rebuild engine and refresh everything but leave patina intact.

Watch the purists cry while I ride by.
