Thanks thrownchain...sent you a PM.

Thanks for the assist Mick...!

Good point Dan, thanks for posting.  The engine needs to be re-built so the buyer will have to coordinate with Jerry on this.  Jerry is aware that I'm selling the bike and is happy to work with the buyer regarding his/her preference for the engine build.

I've included my phone number in the listing and encourage anyone interested in the bike to give me a call with questions.  

Thanks again-

Hello Ski...  The price includes everything i.e., the bike, engine, manual, spare fuel tank and loose parts shown in the box.  Thanks for asking...

Okay, built in November 1974 as model year 1975.  Thanks Larry...

Thanks Ron, I appreciate the kind words...!

Additional photo's...several of them!  So what's stock and what's not??

I've confirmed the engine number is 4-5500857 so it's a 400 afterall.  Thanks to all who have contributed to this inquiry...!

Thanks Mike.  I've since asked for a photo of the engine number.  I'm not sure what a fair market value is for this bike.  According to the owner the engine will need to be rebuilt and from the looks of it, after having been in dry storage for several years, it will need just a 'little' bit of work to bring it back to life.  No worries though as this would be a fun project with the possibility for a full-on restoration down the road...

Thanks RCG...!  Owner says he checked the piston and confirmed it was a 400.  I'm not sure what he measured but it's unlikely that someone could have swapped out the cylinder, piston, carb. etc., due to the larger piston dia. and interference @ BDC with the crankcase...

Thanks Larry.  He thinks the original 250cc engine was swapped out for the 400.  Here are a couple of photographs.  Your thoughts?

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays...!
