    This thing is set up and ready to go. About the only thing it needs is a paint job and a front fender (which I have plans to buy and mount if it sits here much longer) and maybe some seat foam (which I may have lying around somewhere). It is currently primed and ready to paint, which I had planned to do and may still but the price will obviously be a little more. 'Currently have too many projects and too little time. Asking $3500

    What has been done to the motor that is in the bike?

    750 kit?
    Rephase?
    Cam?
    Ignition?

    I have a complete (disassembled) separate motor that's included with the bike. :)

    I tore it down to the crank to send off to be rephased but life/work got in the way and the whole thing was sidelined. :/

    How in the hell have you not sold this yet?

    Maybe we were wrong about the whole unpainted potential thing, James. Maybe curious potential buyers have no imagination. This bike is about a $200 away from looking like this.
