|
| Just confirmed a buy on a one owner 74TXA, has been sitting for a while and the motor is seized. But all in all it is all there and no dents in the tank or side covers.............pick it up this weekend and will post pics after i get it home...........I have spent some time going over the bike, the eclectics have never been chopped. It needs a new set of gauges (which i have) and it will be complete.............The only condition on the bike is the original owner gets first option if/when i sell it.........................Yeeeeeeeee Haaaaaaaa........................Must be really rich as i now have the makings of 5 bikes and none on the road......................My rider is only a few days away from being back on though

| make sure you go over all the reflectors with a rag so they are bright and shiny. You wouldn't want your chances of crashing to go up due to faulty reflectors now would you?? I didnt think so;)
