Owned since the restoration was completed — selling only because I'm relocating overseas. Runs and shifts beautifully, starts on the first or second kick every time.

Does the engine number match the frame number stamped on the headset? Would love to see a photo of both if possible.
Yes, they match — I'll add a close-up photo of the stamping to the gallery this week. Happy to send more in the meantime.
Beautiful example — good luck with the sale!
