That's a good looking bike there. How's it run? As good as it looks? It looks UN-molested.

Welcome to the group Javier! Good looking bike, color looks like it matches your car. How does it run? There are some pretty good experts on the large twins around here.

What do you consider northern NJ? I'm going to be in Morris Plains at the end of the month.

thanks guys and she turns on perfectly with the kick start Im going to have to do some troubleshooting to see why the electric starter does not work. She has 16,000 miles and immaculate condition ended up paying 650. So I think it ended up being a good deal, previous owner only put 400 miles on it in the last 2 years. And yes it still has the original owners manual and a pba card from 1982 B) .

Looks good. I noticed the mirrors in the 1st pic are now gone. I hope you plan to put them back on. You gotta be able to see the nitwits behind you or they will run you down. Good luck with it. Ed
