Problems

The bike has been my primary mode of transport for the past year, inspected and insured in NYS, until last month when the power went out. I think there is a charging problem - it has just had a new battery put in. Runs great after a bump or jump start, electrics all fine and the engine sounding good. Just need to work on the charge problem.

The only other problem to my knowledge is that the brake signal from the handlebar isn't working.

This is a great opportunity for someone to upcycle this bike, either with an original restore or to an even better cafe racer / tracker / bobber. Viewings available. Payment by cash or paypal.
