I've been holding off on this ad for a while now in hopes that I can find the time to finish but it looks like it wont happen... It started out as a bobber and after riding it for a summer I decided to go the cafe route. All last winter I worked on it and suddenly stopped progression this spring. Its been sitting collecting dust since then.

It has:
-Pamco ignition from Mike's
-Perm magnet stuff from Hugh and rotor from a local guy
-All the components to make it points from GGary
-Thruxton tail section
-Brand new never seen the road 2004 Triumph rear shocks
-Extra spark plugs
-Stock gas tank was sanded down bare, sealed and clear coated
to get that brushed look
-Stock 34 carbs
-VM34s that I opted to use when I was riding it
-Clip ons I bought from a shop in WI
What it needs:
-New fuel valve
-Rear sets to complete the cafe look
-Possibly a new capacitor
-Possibly a shorter throttle cable
- Bolt the tail section and tank down
** Thats all I can think of for now
Good/Bad???
-Kick start only
-No mirrors
-Only head lights, tail and brake lights.
-No keys... Stuff to make it vroom is hidden
-No speedo or tach

The motor ran great for sitting. The only issue was an oil leak coming from the left side of the head. I never got to tune the carbs all that well. It ran great with no flat spots but when I got to a stop light it would sneeze and almost cut out. Never figured it out. Come on by, take a look and make an offer. I may just take it.

What it used to look like

Hey alfredo! No man. Its been tough trying to get out with the addition of our 3rd kid. Pushed hard to get the 650 on the road before he was born. I'm thinking in a couple of years I'll pick up another scoot, thats if I sell this one. LOL. I just hate seeing it sit around.
