It came with a second set of original exhaust and some other OEM parts but definably needs some going through. The front m/c needs a rebuild for sure, dash lights and turn signal doesn't work, one of the front caliper drags, etc etc. It does have the factory dual disc front, which was a selling point for me.

So, no sticker, its long gone, but the vin is a fairy low number, IIRC its in the 03300 range. Engine number is like 40 numbers off

That's a nice bike!

Some detail closeup-ish pics of things like gauge faces, under seat, side shots of the motor would be great.

Good Ridin'
