    Hello everyone,
    I have a 79S not sure what its worth I have owned for 6 or7 years now. Bike has been great to me in the past. Was my fathers bike before that and was good to him, sadly I do not have time to fix and maintain any more. I am stepping up to fuel injection. Any way has great paint and refurbished gauges and emblems, will try to post pics soon. So anyone interested please email me. I do want this bike to go to someone who knows about it. Not some dummy who will just beat it into scrap. Has been sitting for some time, it does run just needs a thorough go thru. I am in Boston area and can put on trailer to meet you half way if you are to far away. And sorry for any mess ups I am not computer literate. Thanks again

      Hello again,
      The bike used to be dark cherry but had to fix tank dent and when I sanded it down I found a bright red. I liked it so went with a ford red close to it. That is color now, looks good in the sun. Also have sissy bar luggage rack and a few other parts, and yes the gauges do look that good for real. Once again not looking to make money $500 would make me very happy as long as either she was restored or parts to something that means a lot to you. This site has helped me out a lot just looking at tech tips so would like to help someone if I can.

            I redid those myself. So if you have or can find a set I think I can work some magic on them. I will say it is getting harder to find 160 speedo. No guarantee on time though maybe two weeks or so to finish. It is a hobby not a job.

                  Sorry about limited pics but I had those on my phone. The bike is in storage place half hour from home. I have 6 year old and 9 month old and wife is in school right now so only time I can get there is on weekends. Will get some new ones soon. Don't want to mislead anyone bike is no trailer queen, has many road trips on her. Hopefully many more left, main reason for selling is lack of time to give her. Has clean MA title was registered until last month when swapped over to new bike. All calipers and master cylinders were rebuilt last year with new ebc pads. Big thanks to whomever did the piece on master cylinders with little hole to clean out. I was going crazy with that took calipers off three time before I saw that one. Also has mikes xs coils new caps and solid core wires.

                    I would also like to see more pics. My wife would never let me buy another bike, but I do have friends in the market for bikes, in western MA area.
