I bought her around 2 years ago from a guy who had built her up and wanted to move on to the next project. She had about 1500 miles on the build, I've added around 1000. I pulled the rear fender and speedo/odo but still have both. I just changed the oil and clutch pushrod seals.

I am only selling because I am being transferred out of the country as part of my job for 3-5 years. For sale until Jan 2nd at which point I'm on a plane and she's in storage.

Priced for quick sale at $3000 OBO
Houston, TX

You can store it in my garage... free of charge, just leave the keys!

If I had the money I would take it off your hands.

Thanks for compliments! I'll have to get back to you regarding electrical system. It's fairly simple and reliable so I've been happy with it.

She has front and rear disc brakes but no rear brake pedal. Both brakes are applied with the front brake lever. I believe the brake master cylinder was taken off a Harley.

I will include a very crappy loading ramp and the original, factory manual. The straight pipes' black coating got scraped off while loading using said ramp. You really need a solid hill and/or a low truck....not a lifted 2500 and a gently sloping driveway!

Let's save us all some effort and keep in mind the cost of long term storage in Houston is very cheap. I will put her away in storage before accepting what I consider a ridiculously low offer.

I took a bunch of current photos of her last night.
