This bike runs very well, smooth and quiet and has a real kick when it hits the power at 6,000. The nicest H1 I have owned or ridden. I spared no expense in building this bike and it was meant to be my #1 H1 of all time.

I think the photos speak for themselves but please ask more questions if you want

This is a video I made of this bike about a year ago, you can hear the clutch slip at 6,000 on full throttle. I have Barnett Springs here for it and you will get those along with the bike. I had not fitted them yet as for the break in period I preferred to keep the light clutch action.

Someone asked me to post photos of the frame and engine numbers, I have posted those, difficult to get a photo of the frame number. I also posted some other photos which show some small imperfections for your attention.

(1) there is a small dent in the front fender, this I did by accident when building the bike.
(2) There is a small mark on the front of the gas tank, my mechanic did this and I guess it was lifting the tank off and it hit on the steering nut. This is very hard to see on the bike.
(3) The gold trim on the seat cover is not quite right at the front.
