All maintenance done by owner.  Some parts purchase documentation available.  General cosmetic condition is what would be expected with bike of this age which has been ridden on many cross-country trips but has been well-cared for.

  for more information. Ask for Bob.Reason for selling: Age and medical conditions curtail long-distance riding anymore.  It's time to pass it along to someone who will take it places and enjoy it as much as I have.Delivery to new location:  Depends on location.  Would consider riding to new location in exchange for ticket home (depends on location and time).  Will assist in shipping in any way possible.  I have had good results using Haulbikes and Freightcenter.$500 Deposit payment by PayPal or other required, remainder cash or certified check before transfer or shipping.  No first-time bidders accepted.Known mechanical/cosmetic issues: Exhaust leak, right side, exhaust header to collector.  Not seen as being worth effort to fix at this time.  Oil leak, left side airtube to carburetor junction.  Oil is from pollution control crankcase vapor scavenger rebreather.  Can't get oiltight seal.  Decision: ride it and ignore it.Fuel lines, tank to carbs are a bit untidy.  Same as above, irritating but not enough to fix.Rolling stand in pictures does not go with bike.
