    Well, the bike runs thanks to Designer_Mike. I'm not going to part it, instead ride it and break her back in after her nearly 10 year hiatus. For anyone going to the Lehigh Valley Carb Clinic, this bike will be there being tuned. It's also for sale to Forum members FOR WHAT I HAVE IN IT. That said, the price will be $1300.

    Bike has had the following done
    Carbs cleaned and sync'd (which was um, difficult to say the least)
    plugs
    float needles
    oil, filter
    brake fluid
    final drive fluid
    BRAND new Pirelli's
    air filter
    valve stems
    as well as everything else that gets done to bikes like this. No leaks, doesn't smoke, make noise or anything else. She's basically spotless. She has 11k and change on her and that will change due to me riding her to make sure she is good to go.

    Questions, e mail me or pm. Thanks! If you want pics, pm or e mail me

    mcrwt644--I need a really nice right side muffler. Or if you only have a nice left muffler I could save that for an upcoming project.

    On the other hand, you wouldn' happen to have a couple decent mufflers for an xj900rk or an xz550, would you?

    Dave, I've got one mint right side muffler, with the exception of the giant DENT near the end...Perfect otherwise. I'm going to use it for my Norfolk bike project which I hope to start on soon. I stick to the 700s almost exclusively

    Thanks, though, see you in a couple weeks.
