Bought this girl from Kaplan cycles in April of 2021. I had money at the time and was just blowing through it.. The bike was totally restored. Here’s a link to a video they made detailing the restoration ??

The bike came with an extensive “Kaplan bill of sale”. I never ended up doing the work to get it titled. Just put one of the plates from my other bikes on it (I know, bad boy ooooh, haha) The only life this bike saw in my hands was on the rode. My wife and I went on a road trip throughout the dirty south for 3 months and brought her with us. I’ve put 447 miles on the bike. She spent all those nights traveling outside. She’s obtained some surface rust spots because of that, and a bird poop stain on the tank that needs to be buffed out. We just were bein kids more or less.. Wanted to travel around with a classic bike and that we did. Anyway, after our travels, she ended up being stored for 2 and a half years in my garage. Until recently. I took the bike to “Limey Bikes” here in Austin Texas, got the carburetor rebuilt. The bike runs, and rides great just like in the Kaplan video. But there is an issue with the 3rd carburetor to the right. The float needle keeps sticking, causing it to flood. Again, sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn’t ???? I don’t have anymore time/money to invest in it. Don’t mean to be too personal but I’m recovering from a divorce, and just need to get the thing sold.
Shoot me an offer !
Close up detail video I made of the bike ! ??
