    80 MNS San Antonio

    Came across this. Looks tempting but not a possibility me at this time.

    If that exhaust looks as good in person it would be a sweet deal.

      worked on it till it was broke

      He fixed it up good - won't start now....

      It looks OK from pic - I have no need for another project right now or I might consider it -

      If someone buys it let me know and you can bring it here to work on it.

        I'm looking for one of these to restore. Any chance one of you Texas boys can have a look at it and report back?

          I've tried several times on both numbers he has listed and left messages
          for him to call me back...no return calls yet.
          I was going to get more info and have him forward some pics and post them
          here for those interested...BUT
          WELL, I tried again just now and low and behold, he sold it this AM...so keep-on looking..

              could this be the same bike?



              Looking at the backrest and the highway peg, plus familiar wording in the listing makes me think so.
              I have a bike and I am not afraid to use it

                I'd bet a dollar to a doughnut it is.. I think he just re-priced it so when someone tries to low-ball him, he'll be closer to his original ad price...
                Otherwise, at the $4K he's asking, I think he needs a reality check
                PS: I love the way he's routed the clutch cable when he replaced it
                Looks like top notch work of a real craftsman...
