It has sat for about ten years covered in a carport. Recently I got it out and the motor turns over and has compression but I haven't been able to start it. I need to go through the carbs. Good thing is that it sat with race gas in it all these years so hopefully I won't find too much gunk in there.

Its all there, original glass and a set of race glass, both of which are rough but repairable.. Needs a few things, a shift lever, an original handlebar brake and a speedo, which has cracked glass but I think a speedo shop could easily repair it.

If someone were to restore it, it would be mostly cosmetic. New paint for frame and for the glass. If you know how to paint, I think you could get away with under $1k in materials for the cosmetics.

I've seen unrestored, low mileage examples go for $20k on ebay. Mine restored I think would fetch in the $7500-10,000 range, assuming you could get a title for it.

I'll take some pictures later and post them.
