Listed them here now with a pretty firm price. As pictured for $3950 each. I have the wire wheels for both bikes. If you want to haggle, we'll talk about swapping out the Lester mags. If they don't sell soon, I'll be listing them on eBay, but not before swapping the wire wheels over on the green 550K.
I could go on and on about what's been done, cleaned, rebuilt, replaced, refreshed, etc., but the short answer is "Yes, I've done that". From petcocks and fuel lines to tires to fork oil to carb rebuilds, etc., etc., etc.
The orange 550F is a survivor; an un-restored original with just under 8K original miles as of this posting. It was on the cover and featured in the VJMC's magazine this year. The Lester mags and 400F bars were installed before it ever left the showroom in 1975. Known history it's entire life. Some minor scratches (very, very minor) on the tank and a ding on the muffler but, again, an ORIGINAL survivor, right down to the correct brown seat cover.
The 550K has new Candy Jade Green paint (as close as I could match, anyway), original seat cover, and even some service records and paperwork from back in the '70's. Lots of polished stuff and upgraded shocks and fork oil (I have the originals). Also has 400F bars. Way above average set of 4-4 pipes with a small crease on the underside of #3. It has about 7,600 miles as of this posting.
Ask any questions and I'll answer honestly. Tons of pics available of just about anything you'd want to see. These are both nice bikes and are pretty much done; no projects here. I think the price is fair for bikes in this condition and mileage. Clean, clear SC titles in my name. I'm in Rock Hill, SC. That's right at the NC/SC border, just south of Charlotte, NC and about an hour north of Columbia, SC.
Price is $3,950 each, as pictured.
