i just downloaded the rules from ahrma for heavyweight superbike class sadly i don't think your new find would be legal for that class, but my god what a find, did you have to give up any body parts to get that amazing bike. next question was it worth it.

@ roadracer... Inform your wife it looks like a pair of European shoes... she'll love it then... :laugh:
Well, it isn't pretty thats for sure but it wasn't meant to be now was it. Love the frame, now that is way cool...
Assuming it's in running order, the one thing that comes to mind is re-do the fiber-glass/plastic on the tank and tail sections. Sorry but that is just, I truly don't have words, and then again, if this is truly 1970 era workmanship for those 20 or so bikes, leave it alone...
Man, this has to be a collectors item dream if in original 1970 era condition.

picked it up with all limbs and sack intact :laugh: wife was there and price was so good she burnt rubber going ATM for me . already turned down 2250.00 and yes i would have made a pretty good profit on that deal. even the losers get lucky sometimes . thanks for heads up rules but think i'll just get it legal and ride it after rebuild.thanks

it has been in barn since mid 80's . i shot the fiberglass black ,it of course was 20+ year old white but had no decals left on it. . looking to powder coat frame candy gold . motor had about 80pds compression dumped oil in plug holes and it came up little but going to rebuild it.
plan is powder coat frame , rebuild engine , polish all alum. , get new tires , get it legal , sell harley :woohoo:
:ohmy: :huh: :dry: actually i just enjoy sitting in my garage looking at this ugly but precious bike . thanks all.
