Paint: This is an older restoration repaint. Minimal scratches and good sheen but there are strong areas where the paint has flaked off; spots noted on front fender,under the left side tank, and around the filler neck.
Sheet Paint
Sheet metal is in excellent condition and well fit. Appears to be all original sheet metal except for the front fender. Close examination reveals that the front fender is a fiberglass fender, possibly from the batch made up by Bob Stark in the 70’s. PRICE DISCOUNTED BECAUSE OF THE FRONT FENDER. The gas tanks have been previously lined with cream and currently show no signs of leaking.
Chrome
Chrome is in great shape and takes a good polishing.

This motorcycle is in good mechanical condition. It has less than 2,000 miles in the power plant since the rebuild.
