    When you say "display", does it have any potential to run? Or, has it never run? Something just to look at? What year?

      If that's the same one I saw it run at the last Bob Jones memorial rally in Kansas City Ian. It sounded great.

      IIRC it has a big big bore kit in it.

          Make me an offer.

          It is the static, non-running display from his shop that had (has) little or no internal parts. I have not added or removed anything from the time it came into my possession.

          Just as usable parts it has:
          A really nice, one of a kind, set of motor covers
          Unused carb boots
          Unused pod filters

            It has sat in the corner of my living room, on the same stand shown in the picture from his book above, since I acquired it. Therefore, it would take very little to make everything shine the way it did when that pic was taken.
            The stand goes with it.

            The wires and pipes were not on it when I received it.
