I am currently thinking I should sell the bike. I don't have the time to work on it any more. It has almost 30K miles. Tires with around 2k miles. Carbs have been ultra sonic cleaned. It is not tuned perfectly. I have been struggling to get them perfect but feel I am close. I have a donor set of carbs with 2 fubar carbs from pilot jets. The forks need to be rebuilt. Sissy bar and luggage rack. A box of random parts. Engine, middle drive and final drive have all had oil changes in the last year. New wire harness installed in the fall. POR 15 kit done properly on gas tank. She needs some tlc to look great. Valve lashing done within the last year. Auto Adjusting tensioner installed and compression equal on all 4 cylinders. I have put about 1500 into it along with many hours of trying to get it to run right. Please make an offer.

Hi, Rettic...
+1 to the wife! Wow... Phil's right! Now there's a definite keeper!
Does she have a sister that's available?
Glad to hear your decision. These bikes are worth way more than the little money they bring, IMHO....
