i bought this beauty today for $700. it needs the tank and carb cleaned. besides that everything is SPOTLESSS and perfect.
i really dig the high pipe. and i like the shortened front fender. i also like how its a good 250 lbs lighter than my 1978 gs550.
instead of going the cafe route on this one. im gonna shoot for more of a classic bobber. i figure if a bike is a cafe i'd like it to at least be able to pull the ton! haha.
here she is the day i bought it.
1979 plate and last registered in 82. nice.
as its a beauty right now. i really like the 500 bullet classic on royal enfield's site.
black tank, one pipe, and a nice tan solo seat. if i did anything to it, it would definately be that.
please feel free to share any thoughts on what i should do.
i just cant bring myself to ruin that tank. i just cant do it. so wha im gonna do is find a cb125 or cl125 tank on ebay to restore and paint it, without feeling bad.
a few questions for anyone that knows. whats the limit for the tank i can use properly? i know a cb100 or 125 or 175 should fit the the cl125. would a 350 be too big? this gas tank on it now is considerably smaller than my gs550.
also, it needs a new battery. it uses a 6 volt. what i noticed on the battery thats in it now that i took out, it has a nozzle on the top with a clear tube running into it. every 6 volt battery ive found doesnt have this. is this necessary? or just something on older batteries?
yeah get a sealed battery then you can mount it however you want. i have a cl175 and the tank is rusty but fixable....got anything to trade? id offer to trade tanks but that tank is way too nice to trade for one your gonna have to fix. i actually want a nice factory painted tank for my 175 too cuz im gonna make a bobber with it
