Ran across this on Facebook. They are asking $200 (with title); I looked at it last night and told them I would be back today to pay and pick it up.
Some one replaced the mufflers with straight pipes; the carbs are crap, front tire is crap, but it's pretty much all there. It has an external alternator (Chevy 70 amp) mounted on the right front of the engine. UGLY!! I think that means the stator is shot.
Apparently they bought it with the idea of restoring it, but quickly realized carburetor work alone would cost more than they paid for the bike.
My plan is to totally disassemble it, tag all parts and put them on the shelves in the back room, then sell the frame with the title.
