All mine! Before any work is done to her.

I can't wait to get started on her! Have quite a few projects planned, mainly for the aesthetics! I'll keep you all updated!

Would you all say $750 is a good deal?! I thought so!

Does she run? That tank might be a problem.
Did you clean the tank out?!?!?!?!

Oh yea! Runs like a champ! Has all the power she could and not a damn thing wrong with the engine as far as my bike friends and I can tell.
However I have been needing to trickle charge my battery since the bike isn't charging it too well. Outside of that and her beat up tank she is great!
I am also cleaning out the tank today to remove and rust/condensation.

Thanks!

Definitely so, but took the tank off first daylight I got and it checked out on the exterior. Now the inside is a different story. I just got some CLR and am looking for a solid chain to use for banging and cleaning out the interior.

Thanks man! I love the bars! My brother hates on them for some reason, but they just feel so natural. I do advise them!

The customs came with those "pull back" bars and the standards was straighter and flater.

Looks nice. If it just like it looks like, 750 seem quite all right.

Yes, my custom had them on it as well. I bought straighter, flatter bars than the standard bars to swap out though, i like them much better, it really feels like i have better control of the bike now, plus i think they look much better

$750 sounds good to me! I just bought one for $600 and, well, lets just say my engine wasn't in quite as good a shape as yours... and I'm still happen with my price ;)
