George,

Those are the original bars. "maybe"

They would look great on your blue bike.

Hmm ;D

I must have been sucked in by the shiney paint job >:(

Having a closer look at it the rear foot peg hanger is missing/been modified. :-[

Ok, this one goes back in the molested basket >:(

What about this one for a restoration project?

Eddy.....don t believe the blurb the owner sprouts.
That definitely is NOT a matching numbers/original 1978 E model ....unrestored/original as he infers/implies.
After market mufflers .......and the kicker....well..........that's just it.................there is no kicker......kickstart spline that is .
Missing the side trim on the seat.
Horn bracket ?
Horn button and high/low beam switch toggle missing.
These items such as the horn button and high / low beam sw will have to be reinstated for a roadworthy certificate .....a bit cheeky at $4,800 .......then having to spend extra on parts to register it.
There s no real way of knowing how many kms that engine and drive train have done as it s a bitzer....especially as there are already honesty issues with the description and what he is purporting the bike is.
It s reasonable bike ....and needs a complete ....redo cosmetic wise....... I think it s well overpriced at $4,800...I wonder what offers he will recieve......  circa  $2,500 is a more reasonable price point.
I do like the handlebars though :P ;D
