Near Sacramrnto CA
1970, locked up motor, 74/75 front end?
I spoke to the owner, he has the title from Colorado.
This guy has has at least one 750 barrel and piston kit.
Also has quite an assortment of axles and misc brake M/C's

I went this morning and took a couple of motor pics that go with the bike

I'm about to take a looksy at this guy. Any thoughts? I'm a newb, but I've been ready over the buying guides, and unfortunately I have no motorcycle friends here to take with me. Thanks!

Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

 

[madmax-im]

Neither good nor bad..just identifying what it is you are looking at...FWIW I believe the later models had refinements the earlier models did not..However not everything that was updated was an improvement...

 

[halfmile]

VANESSA. Is that you again?

That is a local post to me. It’s been for sale quite awhile. The Australian gal who bought my 79F a few months back came to my bike from that bike and made a very easy decision to buy mine.
