has the bike been dropped or crashed ...also do you have any pics on the sides of the bike ..thanks looking for a starter bike for my wife thanks [email protected]

[crysis]

i'm sure it has been dropped in its past 20 years of existence. those are all the pics i have.

from what I can tell, the bike has never been crashed (low sided or high sided) .. but there is cracked plastic, so I can only assume it has been dropped (that and age). I have had the whole bike apart and could not find broken welds or strange bends.

i'm the culprit who broke the turn signal having it catch on my leg while trying to get through the mess that is my garage. Its epoxied on. Its not the prettiest of bikes, but it gets me from A to B.

bump for a good old bike.

is it rattle canned white?
how does it hold up going about 80mph?
whats the longest you've ridden with it?
valve and carbs good? dont need tuning/cleaning?

[crysis]

The longest I've personally ridden on it was maybe 50mi? Holds up fine going 80mph. It is rattle canned, but I gave it candy coats, so its shiney. The carbs could probably use a tune as the guy that owned it before me lived 2000ft above sea level ... but I'm in riverside and haven't had a problem ... tuning would probably make it run slightly more efficient.

The guy who owned it before me was an airplane builder (seriously) and took care of most of the problems with the bike (minus the key cylinder). He sold it to me with a spare set of brakes, which will come with the bike. He didn't install them because when he opened up the calipers, the brakes were similar to the newly packaged ones. From his word, he rode it to Utah and back on a weekend trip without problems. I don't see that being farfetched, as you have older/aircooled bikes making longer journeys. I've only personally ridden this around town.



I forgot to mention before, the gas gauge works sometimes. There is, however, a reserve tank toggle that has gotten me out of sticky situations due to the gas gauge not working.
