Here is the bike, i picked it up o the weekend. It is a one owner and the engine was seized when i first looked at it but broke the seize when trying to get it pushed out of the shed to load on the trailer.......... One of those that was going then left because of a small fault..............been sprayed with some CRC so looks a bit more shiny than when i first seen the bike. will be a restorer, but hope to get it going and then will clean it up with some second hand parts, ( I already have) re spoke the wheels new tyres and a front end rebuild (springs, seals, etc), and recon the calipers. Rear brake works, but will take apart and clean and check parts, new chain and sprockets..........Bla, bla ,bla, $$$$ ........Paid $350.00 AUS is a good buy for here..........Will make it into an original usable bike then restore in the future............Posted more photos in my album

If you need any parts, holler at me. I've got a stock tail light mount in excellent condition and the entire headlight assembly minus the turn signals. Both came from a 74 TX and even in the same metallic brown finish as I see here. (PS, I want those handle bars...i've got some stock ones in excellent condition with wiring still intact I'll trade)
