1978 900SS Under 6k miles
This is a low
mileage mostly original bike with 5900 miles that I have owned
since ’96. This bike
is in great condition. It spent most of the time that I have
owned it in the San Francisco area. The bike has never been
restored, and has always been well maintained, oil changed every
500 miles, cleaned after all rides, etc.
The body work has been
painted metallic green, but is all original components. The frame is still
the original silver, the forks & triple clamp are original black & in great
shape. This bike had been painted green when I bought it and I had planned
on repainting it back to the original silver. But I found that I really
liked it in the metallic green so kept it that way.
The bars, switchgear,
controls, and dash are original and are in excellent condition. The engine
has never been out of the frame and is a strong runner.
This one
is a ‘78 that was delivered with the later Darhma motor with Bosch ignition
and gold Speedline wheels, but with the silver frame and body work. The bike
has a few modifications from original, the big one being the body work
painted metallic green. The other modifications are Fox rear shocks,
Gustafson tinted wind screen, Dyna ignition coils and wires, a gear gazer,
and a zerk fitting installed in the swing arm when it was re-bushed and line
bored at Syd’s Cycles. Syd’s also set up the timing. The current tail light
is the earlier round CEV light.
It has
PHM 40’s and Conti mufflers. Recent maintenance items are new pickup wiring
from the crankcase for the Bosch ignition, new chain and rear sprocket,
carbs rebuilt, new battery, and rebuilt front and rear brakes. The brake
rebuilds include rebuilt calipers with Brembo aluminum pistons and new
internals for the master cylinder. New stainless lines were installed as the
original lines were deteriorating. I have always used and currently have
Avon AM22/AM23 vintage race tires on the bike. The front is 110/80 sprint
compound and the rear is the 130/650VB18.
This bike
has always been a great running rider.
The bike
is currently located in Garden City Utah and has a clear Utah title.
