What size are you looking for? How about a 400?

Teddy,  I also have a 400 MC5.  Mine is a 1978.  It is currently completely torn down to freshen everything up.  Let me know if you are interested.  I can put it back together without doing any further restoration if you are interested.  The bike is complete and runs strong.

Hi Thomas,  As you know, I *thought* about putting my 400 on the street.  I heard from a LOT of people both on this sight and privately about the pro's and con's.  I ultimately decided against it for a couple of reasons.  The main one being that I really appreciate good brakes, and although the drums on my bike are fine off-road, I would not trust them on the highway. A good set of discs are hard to beat!  I may pass you on my Harley though . . . :)

Danny,
What part of the country might you reside and what price range do you feel you need to be in for your bike?    Thanks, Bob

Hi Bob,  I am in the NW corner of South Carolina.  If all I do it put the bike back together, I will take $1500.  The bike is complete and had fresh everything about 10 years ago.  It has only been ridden a couple of times since then.  It has been stored in my basement since.  The paint is good, but not perfect, but mechanically very good.  I have tons of digital pictures I can send.  If you are interested, give me your email address.

Danny
