Runs and starts great. Low mileage for its age. Has only 3224 miles. (slightly more than picture of speedometer in pictures) All lights etc work. Tires are probably original but in good shape. No tears in seat.
On the pictures you will see that someone has done some putty work on the tank. The front rim has a ding it but Ive been driving it like this for two years, no problem.
It does not have a compression release system and needs to be started near TDC to prevent kickback. Same as on most thumpers. Does have a TDC indicator on cylinder head.
Compression release is not missing, this model just never had it.
I put new handle bars on it as old ones were bent. Those can go along with it. The new one is narrower.
