Interesting carbs, they look like ancient Lectrons.
Did he store the bike outside for 30 years? it looks like hell.

Whole thing is trash.  Carbs are interesting.  Funny put a brightening product on the tires and seat.  Tank, pipes, forks etc. are all garbage due to the extent of the rust.

Was that the original color of the carbs?

they came blue new.

thats saveable, for sure. crusty as fuck, but saveable.

My bike was way worse than this and I saved it from the scrap yard.

I think every single part on that motorcycle will need attention; interested to see where it ends $$

Yikes, that's rough

perfect for a special to make the rivet counters cringe.   

[sav0r]

Yeah, chop it up and make something trick. An OEM resto isn't wise.

Someone must have went there and bought it.

Someone must have went there and bought it.

Weird. When I looked this morning there were two bids on it for $2 and change, now that ad is ended by the seller and shows no bids.
With no reserve I didnt think it could be pulled if there were bids

[economan]

That's flea bay for ya.  :evil2:

[m in sc]

it can within either 12? or 24 hours before the end of the auction.  i cant remember.
