Anyone want a 72 around Baltimore?

jbird526 · #1 28th November 2007

Instead of putting it up on Ebay i was wondering if anyone wanted to buy my 72. It isnt together right now. Bought it from a friend and have been rebuilding for a few months. The cases were split and hot tanked. Ive honed and reringed the engine. The only thing left is a friend is redoing the heads and i need to get them back. Anyway the engine will be a nice clean unit. Also the bike does have a title. I wish i didnt have to sell it but i need to clear out some bikes. I will get some pictures together.

PS: list of new parts
Compensator sprocket
Oil tubes and puchrod covers
Engine chain
Tires

How much are you asking for it?

and do you have some close-up picks or the rear engine mounts etc...

Im probably looking for @1700. I need to get some pics together. The rear engine mount which is aluminum i had Tig welded and also the drain plug which is way too close to the side of the case welded closed and then machined a new drain further back. The primary cover holes were helicoiled, unfortunately 2 of them were done poorly by someone else. They seem to be at an angle. The cover goes on but it looks like the cover was hogged a little to accomodate.

It also has a cycle electric alternator.

Im just trying to give as much info as possible.

There is also an extra set of forks and aluminum triple clams which are actually for a one inch neck cup. Also included is an extra rear wheel. All of this will be visible in the pics. Sorry to bring the topic up and not have pictures.

do you still have the bike? any bites on the sale?

Nothing concrete so far. Everyone want to beat around the bush. Anyway i got the heads back from my buddy and he didnt get around to rebuilding them for me. They arent bad but i never put an engine together without having the heads done. Just a habit ive always had. Anyway I'll consider $1500 for the bike which has a PA title FYI. Im just trying to clear out some bikes. Already sold 2 and am just looking to make room
