Would you pay 9 grand for this?  :eek: Show quality? ::)  fuel filters are on backwards, missing fork boots, among other things

As bad as I hate to say it. I like the fairing. 9K no.

I like the fairing too, the seat not at all. I also like how fairing was mounted stay coming from front to keep shield from flapping, not much room on RD's to come from between stem and tank. Don't know why he didn't also mount some mirrors to same stay.

Cosmetics are good, especially the seat!

Tail light location looks like an afterthought by a 16 yr old.  :bang: He really doesn't want to sell it at that price...  :umm:

It's certainly not "show" quality from what I see in the pictures but what is an actual fair value on that bike.  5-6k? Maybe only 4K?

At first thought did not have one (doesn't seem too concerned over what's happening behind, no mirrors) then saw it had similar opinion.

Now listed in Ventura for $6500 (apparently through consignment).
The model year somehow changed from 77 to 76. The VIN says it's a '77 and the odometer says it has 17K, which is how it's currently listed on Ebay.
Fuel filters are still on backwards.  :dawg:
He seems to have borrowed a line from Kaplan; "This is one sweet beast" :rolleyes:
