Still blown away that this one was still available yesterday after being listed on Cycletrader for nearly a month!ย  all new bodywork and fresh paint, Wiseco 1135 kit, New Mikuni 38s, new V&H pipe, New Dyna 2000, undercut trans, Katana wheels with a 180 rear,ย  Came with job sheets and dyno report along with receipts for nearly 5k in motor and trans work.ย  She is a beast!
