Sachs Balboa with a 2 layer chrome then blue sparkle over. Top bar and stock tank raised. Random found seat, alotta the photos have the old handmade seat that wasn't s awesome. Been a million iterations, 505/1a w athena 80, TM24, and blaster pipe. Then a 505/2D same setup, but 9 piece "uber clutches" Then downtuned to a 46mph 505/2D setup with 15 bing and Alsil Quiche pipe, stayed that way for years, and sold it like that in maybe 2014 2017 swoops rally, i needed a loaner and the swoopies found this for sale and bought it back as my keeper loaner. <3<3 Since then it's been redone for simple commuting, only low 40s now, on a 505/1a with airsal 70, same alsil pipe and 15 bing. Got some sweet old Earles style sachs/Penton leading link forks too. lovin em.
