    Looking is cheap

    Missing both side covers, front fender, and IGN cover, but still quite interesting- no rust and super low miles and fair price. Probabaly no title?

    But I have 4 bikes already.

    Speaking of Detroit:



    The shape of the (leaking) tank look like an XJ? Side covers are the right logo, but the top seems curved only because of the seat?

      Definitely not a Maxim tank, Mike.

      Looks like a proper Special tank ...



      Side cover appears to be correct, also.

      I think you're right ... the banana seat is causing the side cover shape to look a little off kilter ...

        You're right

        Now that you mention it, the picture has the frame showing at the back of the gas tank and looked to me like it was curved:
