This bike needs work, please read. This is a project that has been on the road but has a few issues to sort out. The main one is the new rings never seated properly and the engine has low compression until it is warmed up properly. If you remove the spark plugs and squirt oil in the cylinder the compression tests fine, so I know it is the piston rings. The cylinder machining is one of the only parts of the work that I didn't do myself, oddly enough. Other issues include a soft rear brake (new rebuild kit included) and a sticky/worn fork headtube bearing. As you can see from the list below this bike has a ton of aftermarket, high quality parts on it and for anyone who is willing to put a little work in it will be a great bike. The fenders are casts of the original, remade in carbon fiber. The battery/airbox has been deleted and electronics are in an underseat tray. I added oil filtration and oil pressure gauge, neither are stock. This bike has been sitting for about 5 years and I have not touched it, hence me selling it. This bike has Collectors plates and I have a clean title in hand.
