The engine was overhauled with new trans-bearings, crank shaft was re-manufactured by Vintage Smoke NJ, Pro-X Rods/Roller Bearings and new genuine Yamaha crank bearings. The top-end was machined by Olsen Engines NY to the second over 64.50mm. New Pro-X pistons w/ teflon coated skirts to prevent seizing.

All of the graphics are new high quality repop 3M and have not been cleared.  Wheels are power-coated black, new wheel bearings front rear along with new rear sprocket ORING chain. All of the zinc hardware on this bike has been restored and the chrome is in very presentable state with some sign of minor pitting on the front fender, minor very minor. Gauge Cluster has the original 7300+ miles, both gauge faces were restored with new decals. Handle bars are "super bike" and are very comfortable. The original bars are available if needed. Fuel tank was very clean and did not require much intervention other than new petcock.
