Me and my buddy picked up the bike. Title says it's an '83, build date is 9/82, so it could very well be an early '83 build. Has a few issues of course (dirty carbs, not charging, sticking front brake), but nothing we can't deal with for the price. I think it will come back to life readily and clean up fairly easily .....
My buddy was after a parts bike or just a spare motor, but this is too good for that. It's like 99% original (tool kit, owners manual, security chain) and pretty much unmolested. The tank is clean as a whistle inside and it has very few oil leaks. Of course there's some oil coming from under that left cover, and one valve cover looks to be leaking bad, but that's it really .....
We're not sure exactly what we'll do with it yet, fix it up and keep it, or flip it. But, it is getting harder to find such unmolested examples. I guess we'll decide once we tear into it and see just how good or bad it really is. It has just over 29K on it. Oh yeah, tach is pooched too, lol. .....
