    79 standard, 90% complete? North New Jersey

    I just picked this up and it's too much work for me right now. See my ad on CL. Not looking to part out,...yet....
    *I actually paid $300, ad says $450. That's too keep the CL low ballers off my back.

        LOL....my scoot will be well and ready by spring Berg.

        I probably could get this bike together, but with a newborn coming in 2 days,...time will be a VERY limited resource.

                Howdy, Mr. Hammer

                From one of the few of us in North Jersey. I actually live in Paramus. I'm always happy to see folks from the tri-state area here.

                Your bike is tempting. Is it really a standard? It seems to have the buckhorn handlebars, and the tank looks like a special tank (I guess you bought that separately.) Round turn signals suggest special, but the forks look standard. Short muffs say special, but they look aftermarket anyways. Square tach and speedo say standard.

                I'm no expert.

                And congrats on the new baby.

                Jon
                Hill? What hill? I didn't see any hill! Why wasn't there a sign? And where are my keys?

                  Hey Jon. Thanks for asking. You should come take a look. It is a standard and yes the tank I purchased is a special. Not sure what kind of mods the PO did to it if any. The bike is in Wayne right now in a friends garage.

                  mrhammer2u at gmail.com if you want to schedule a look see.
