Please do! Keeps me from temptation. (I saw that one, too).

Leaving in the Morning. I'm 80 miles away. The guy is really nice, knows what he has and if I didn't have to work today, I would have been there already. I have been watching this one for a couple weeks. Really surprised one of you guys with a bigger addiction then me hasn't already snagged it up. Now if I could find a Yellow one...STOP!!!

Re: Addiction I cannot help myself!!
Well I bought it! She’s in pretty good shape. I’m sure she’s been garage kept. All the normal faded sun burned areas are not on this bike. The front brake splitter and the hand controls are not faded out at all and appear to be original.
I know the frame has been touched up in the normal wear areas but all looks good. No rust on anything I can see.
The body panels look and appear original. No repainting has been done. It’s truly been kept out of the sun.
The seat is from a 77 and I might be willing to trade it for an as perfect seat as this one.
I have the original spoke wheels.
She needs a couple things fixed like the fuel sending unit, temp sending unit and Nuetral light does not light up at all (needs trouble shooting).
Overall I’m very happy with it. She’s does run and ride real good.

Re: Addiction I cannot help myself!!
That is a beauty! Gotta love Arizona. Back east, some corrosion can occur even in the garage sometimes. The frame has definitely seen some attention. Looks like the sticker on the right side below the side cover has been either removed or painted over.
Congratulations on acquiring such a fine example. Low VIN number?

I modified that Corbin seat to fit and put it on one of my 1100s. Probably the most comfortable seat you can get for that bike.
