There is an auction and it is sitting there with no carbs. Looks solid but i'm very green when it comes to this stuff. I want to buy it and fix it up for a daily driver for my wife and I. Anything that i should look for before trying to buy this thing.

Before you get too excited, find out why the carbs are missing and how long the bike has sat without carbs. No matter how nice the bike might look, it doesn't run. I passed on a ZL600 two blocks from my house...no carbs...I didn't need another money pit.

its an auction i doubt anyone will know anything about it. The more i look at it unless i can get it for under $100 bucks probley would not be worth it.

Is it hard to find carbs for this thing? I may be looking in wrong places but just seems this might not be easy to find parts for.
