I ran across this '77 with a good bit of work already done.. everything from air shift to stretched swingarm with a 190 shootout tire. Bike is fully street legal with all working lights and turn signals, functioning charging system etc..

Plans are to possibly remove the front fairing in favor of just a traditional style headlight, get the carb's lined out (will pull strong through some rpms and bog in others).. bike starts right up real easy even when cold. Over the winter I'd like to tear it down and do a 1327 build complete with worked over heads, cams, rs34's, possibly a little shot of go juice, we'll see.

Has a few issues, throttle is like a hair trigger.. takes some force to twist then wham it opens up. Can't really roll on smoothly, also running rich the carbs need some work bogs out up in the rpms or to much throttle in the video had to keep it about 50% or under on throttle and not venture to high into the rpms... needs some love but not bad for a old bike.

Can't figure out how to embed a video on here yet, so if anyone knows that would be appreciated lol!

I just bought a 3.5 wheel and plan on adding a 160 tire as well. May need to pie cut the gussets and weld them flat to the inside of the arm to fit, not sure yet. Flipped the brake arm up and custom linkage. Not hard if you have fab skills or access to a shop. Otherwise, use a disc wheel and mount a MC, much less fab, but not as cool.
