Local pickup only, otherwise I'd go for this one. Looks like it's all there too.

Yeah, me too!

So, my friend used one of the Tennessee title co.s for his JDM 81 RZ 350. The bike is in pieces and slowly being restored. The agreed value for the Tenn. title was $1500. When he took it to the Washington DMV they insisted on finding a comp. value for tax purposes. The only one they could find was "yup",
PDXJims BaT listing! So,$1200 later he has a clear Wash. title.

Yeah, it was fun! Fork seals ordered.

Took the CS5 on it's maiden journey. About 80 miles of country backroads on the Key peninsula. Must have been 50 bikes. The little gem performed flawlessly!

Fresh tires, and a little cleaning !

Odd markings on front hub.Factory, or PO. ?

So I sent the wheels off to my wheelsmith for truing, polishing and new rubber. It was apparent when I took the wheels off the mileage is true. I can't find any evidence of anyone @#$#@*&^ stuff up. As good as it runs I'm just going to do a thorough cosmetic clean up and ride it!

Kaplan cycles, kinda says it all!

Yeah Russ, after further research I think I did well! BTW do I have to split cases for crank seals?

Dude, you scored on that thing!

Well it wasn't free! I gave 2600 for it.

Nice Russ, I just stored that trick into my data base.
