For Sale - Hardtail 1981

[jstraker]

Hi there. So the time has come for me too, and I am selling this bike. It is a 1981. Carbs done by gggary. New paint. New magneto (I know, but I wanted to try it!). New seat. New simple wiring harness. New Brembo front brake conversion and M/C. Everything gone through. Starts easy, runs great, ready to ride. And I should add that I didn't cut the frame up - I got it like this. So two things:
1. I know there are some folks local to me (Vancouver Island) on here, in case there is any interest.
2. I'd like ~$4500 CDN for it, which is around $3500 US. (I've listed a bit higher locally, but would sell for that to this crowd.) But also want to be fair. Am I out to lunch? The magneto itself would cost $1100 today, but I get that that is no one's fault but mine. Anyway, interested in thoughts.
Thanks very much!
Justin

Those are pretty pictures, but you need to get it under some bright lights and get some detail. On my laptop it's either gorgeous of a well disguised lesser job, if you know what I mean. My thoughts are, it I wanted it from far away, those pictures won't do the job. They'd look great on the calendar. I like your use of color, the brake upgrade, and the mag. It seems reasonable to the right buyer.

Thanks, Marty. And gotcha. I guess I was thinking that anyone that wants to see more detail will come take a look, because I was thinking folks aren't going to travel far for this bike. But I get your point, and appreciate your feedback. Cheers!
