The guy who built this did at least one other one but in a different ugly color scheme. It was just as ugly, and I hate that I love them.

I've seen pictures of about a  half dozen of these. I think they are ugly, but have some cool period parts on them. I will admit the build quality looks good. But damn they are ugly.

The current seller is a former member of 2SW (and USA2Strokers) from back in the good old days. Really good guy. I wonder how he ended up with it?

Bought it before I could. He also has 2 others, 78 400 & 73? 350, from the same Fla. Dude that built appx. 6 or so of them creatures. I have seen 5 of them and they all remind me of the movie,  Joe Dirt, it is so stupid that it's funny, to me anyway.
Those builds are so gaudy but would be nice to own, I guess. Now being seen in public riding them,  :umm: maybe not. :whistle:
(my 2 cents)

Was higher than that before 9 something. That TZ350 reduced $1000 to $9000 too.

Yeah, I spoke to Ben about these bikes a few years ago when he bought them out of FL.

Wonder why he is selling them off now?

Is it one of those "ABS" modulators that don't really do anything?
