The Bad (All minor, but full
transparency to a potential buyer):
The clutch is a
little stiff – it has new OEM springs, but needs time / use to lighten up.
If you care,
there is no speedometer or tachometer.
The Story: Bought an original southern California
project bike with plans to build myself with my two sons. Several years later realized there would
never be time to do it so I hired my favorite builder who displays and wins
frequently at our local bike shows. Now
the RD is finished and I am 54 and more interested in space in my garage than a
bike I never have time to ride. I have
spent $12,500 on the bike to date to get it to this point.
