      I looks fairly good, but I don't believe the mileage. The speedo and tach are not a matched set.

          It's been dropped at some stage as well. Look at tank and indicators.

              The Tach is not correct. The speedo is the same as mine.

              Maybe I am asking too much for my '80 at 1,400 or best?

                  The speedo looks like a replacement and appears to be correct. Don't see anything wrong with the tach.

                      Honestly, I was thinking your bike was such a good deal I wish I could grab it at that price, but I already have two Specials!

                          A guy from down state came up Saturday and bought it.

                          I pointed him towards this forum, his name is Randy. I told him how awesome this forum is when you have a special.

                          You guys have been great!

                          I probably won't get another street bike until I retire. Thankfully, that shouldn't be too many years down the road.

                          At that point I will probably step into some sort of full dresser to cruise with the Mrs. on.

                          Take care guys!
