Yamaha YDS-3 description

This is a 1966 Yamaha that am wanting to sell, I found the bike in a barn and has been sitting since 1972. The was complete all that was done to it was the carbs were clean, air was added to to the tire's.( there is some dry rotting but they hold air) clutches were stuck so i had to remove and clean them. The gas tank is in fair condition and has very little issues with rust inside, it has a small dent on right hand side paint is chipped at dent.as far the paint on this bike it has flaws (nicely patina) previous owner drop the bike on the right hand side and damage(minor) to the gas tank and point cover. (see pictures). Front and rear brakes both are in working condition, the speed odometer glass is broken (see picture) tach needle do work, the oil tank was damage when the bike fell (see picture) All that was done to bike was as followers; Motor was remove along with the wiring harness, engine compression was check (within spec) then frame was touch up with black paint motor was decreased and covers were painted, I do not trust auto lube system I pre mix my gas (auto lube is still all there but not being used) all the chrome was wire brush to remove surface rust and painted items were compound and wax.. Fifty year story that this bike has to tell so i wanted just to clean it very well and not disturb it's history. So the bike is running and ride able as is. ***** BIKE COME WITH A BILL OF SALE**** PREVIOUS OWNER PAST AWAY AND WIFE DOES NOT KNOW WHERE THE TITLE IS LOCATED****
