[/color]When I purchased this bike/sidecar combo I never had the intention of selling it. The bike is all original paint, hand pin stripes ... everything as it came from factory. It was dirty, barely ran and leaked oil everywhere BUT I saw past all that knowing what she could be. I spent many hours and money cleaning her up and getting the bike where it is today. I replaced and fixed what needed done but I did a lot of other work as preventive while things were apart. Here is a list of what was done in last two years, I am sure I will forget something but I'll try ...

■Rebuilt carburators
■Replaced all fuel lines
■Replaced pushrod seals
■Replaced head gaskets
■Replace main crank seal
■Replace oil pump o-ring
■Replace flywheel o-ring
■Replace clutch push rod cup
■Replace clutch pack
■Replace two valve cover studs
■Replace transmission seal
■Replace speedo cable seal
■Replace o-ring for air manifold
■Changed ALL fluids
■Adjust timing
■Adjust valves
■Replaced battery

The bike runs very well, but I would replace the tires due to some weathering. They hold air and don't leak but they are not new! Other then the tires I would ride this bike anywhere/anytime. She has 67,097 miles so barely "broke in". Lots of memories still to be made ... I would be happy to meet you or your mechanic to inspect the bike, bike is stored in a heated garage. I have the bike listed on the MOA Classified Area for SOLD... for a 4 Winds Member I would let the rig go for SOLD This is NOT a concourse condition R60 but a VERY nice/original ride.





















*will add pictures to post, tried now but not working*
If you tell the truth you don't have to remember anything
