Been sitting a couple of years in Cali a seventy year old man had plans of restoration so he took all the chrome off and had it polished but hurt his back so was forced to sell this bike.

Tell me what you all think of this. Now I can keep one stock to mildly modified and the other 1200 kit to take out for those cool evenings that we have here in Chicago. I am stoked. Now I just got get her here from Cali. Two thousand miles away from taking the other engine out and going to town with the powdercoating and paint job and engine rebuild.
I like the option of being able to take my time to do it right and slow so my finances aren't seemingly squandered in an instant.

I was sold at 1675 or even more. There is one in northern cali by san fran that I wanted to buy that is really clean green and runs well with new rubber for 2000 or best offer I think his email is dirtmagnit@hotmail.com if you are interested. It has a corbin saddle nice pipe the bike looks really clean from the pics. Since you live in Cali you could go and get it.
The pics were bigger when my brother sent them to me but I will see if I can repost them bigger.

Realistically I have given thought to driving up with a truck and hauling it back. Just gotta find a truck. I have a week off for spring break I could do it.
How much do you think it would be to ship it? That option probably might be the most realistic one as the bike is most likely going to need some time to get going.

Thanks Steell. That was nice of you. Did you go to photobucket and check out the 22 somewhat pics of the bike?550 wide is the max width on pics, or you really mess up the thread formatting.
The one I fixed above is 550 wide.

So I just just picked out the best complete bike pic to post.
I have been checking out bike shipping for awhile now, and the best deal I have found is Forward Air, you might check with Allied (Allied Van Lines) as well.
I'd guess around $600-$700 to Chicago.
But if you do decide to take a truck and pick it up, I'd really appreciate it if you would stop in Omaha NE and pick up a bike for me :evil:
