I seriously hope he meant new 520 or 530 chain, not 420, or that would be one short ride! Right, Kip? Nice 76 Ceriani forks. I think painting the carb silver is a little over the top though. Mike

Hello, Yes I ment to put 520 chain and it is now corrected in the ad[:o)].Thanks for pointing that out, I must be brain dead [xx(]. NO the carb is NOT painted silver! Thats is a carb that Kip Kern worked his magic on! And it looks as good on the inside as well! :D Kip is GREAT! Like the ad says carb like new! Heck the whole bike is like NEW! Thanks for looking guys, Later,Crash.

Mike, No problem, now that I look close at the pictures in the ad it does look like it could be painted,its so shinny and clean. But its not! Heck I might hit "Buy it Now" myself ;) Nope better not this one has to go! However Mike good job of checking it out. Thanks again for looking and thanks David for posting the ad here. Later dudes, Crash
