Bit of funny looking thing Bill......nowhere near as nice as yours !

a bit odd looking indeed. the rear wheel/tire combo and bobbed fender sure make the swingarm look skinny.

Thats because its a 16 inch rim and the fender is missing

didn't sell on ebay, about ten minutes from me. is it worth $1000.00?
quote from listing:

IMO, if it runs and is rideable, its easily worth $1000.

engine rebuilt: 1600 miles on crank & 700 miles on top end
updated with cast wheels
Don't know what the reserve price will be if he lists it again on eBay, or what he will sell it for locally.

I don't know what the mods did to handling. Would expect some of the experts on the forum to have some insight into that.

Returning it to stock would be expensive if you don't have a clean parts bike. (wheels, rear fender, front end, paint, exhaust, ...)
Converting to a cafe look wouldn't cost that much. (cafe seat, rearset pegs, lower handlebar, mirrors, ...)

If its what you want, then I'd say its easily worth a good bit more than $1,000
Definitely worth asking what original parts he has & what condition they are in.

Without the front part of the rear fender and with that 16" wheel at the furthest point back, that long swingarm sure looks odd. If it runs well has a title and all the original parts, it should be worth more than $1000 I would have thought.
