I'm not going to BS anybody either, it is a mechanics special. It runs but it will need some attention (minor engine work, new rear rubber) to be a rider, along with some of the cosmetic issues, like an aftermarket speedo and missing side cover, but the bones are good and if your plans are to bob it anyhow then you will probably be selling alot of the pieces to fund the build anyway. Honestly I got this on trade and had plans to rework it myself into a cafe racer, but I'm also about to start bobbing a 81 LTD440 and with the three bikes in the garage I'm getting tired of moving bikes into the driveway so I have enough garage space with which to work.
