I have been dragging my feet on selling this, We were originally going to build a His & hers pair of these and instead I need to downsize the sheer volume of projects I have.

*I have material needs!*

So, a presale offer here before the dreaded FeeBay. Preference to a true enthusiast.(I would like to see this on the road someday

This has been in storage for over 25 years that I know of, and came from a local shop that closed down many years ago.  (The owner sold most of his material possessions and joined the rainbow family).  The motor is frozen and will need a full teardown but I think its rebuildable and no real surprises inside to my knowledge.    While cleaning the grunge I removed the motor and rocker box and from what I can see it looks good internally.

I am loosely mocking it up and was missing forks and wheels but I have sourced some and fitting them as we speak.  I have collected many parts over the years and some flexibility over these.  (I have multiple tanks and other bits)  Originally fenders were UN-OB-TAIN-IUM so I got a used pair of Norton Atlas fenders as well as some beat up later A10 Super rocket fenders with the idea of "Close enough".  I can include these or, repops are now availible pretty cheap online
albeit many are made in India.

I have a new gasket set and some other odds and ends that go as well.  Includes a Factory workshop manual as well as Factory parts book, and a wide assortment of service bulletins that cover this period

For someone who wishes to perhaps hot rod it, I can also consider offering some hot rod parts to build a "HOTFLASH" or perhaps attempt a Superflash tribute bike.  (late model crank and rods, 356/357 cam, Alloy late style big valve head, and POSSIBLY High Comp pistons.

I will update pictures this weekend and any other details just ask.  I am located in Oregon USA and will work with shipper of your choice but I wont go out looking for bids and estimates. Thats on you.  I am willing to deliver within reason to the city or nearby areas.  I also can crate for a fee.  I cannot make any promises on shipping to the UK but I DO have a friend who will be shipping a container of bikes and parts back to the UK at the end of August and POSSIBLE for a fee he MIGHT allow it to be lumped in.

I dont have a US state title but I can provide a legit Notarized Bill of sale and a State DMV VIN inspection form which are both legal instruments and are the basis for issuance of a title in most states. I have shipped overseas many bikes using these 2 documents and no problems but depends on your country.  (Germany, Scotland, England, Australia so far).

$2850  ONO (or near offer).

I checked the numbers and it appears its a 1951?
Frame number is:
ZA7S 14733
Engine is
ZA10 5761
When I got the bike that was the engine in it so I assume they left the factory together but who knows.  Its a project bike that came from a shop long ago.  More details soon.

Hi Mate, the suspense is killing me.... have you sold it, or broken your camera with the long wait on the shots?

Uuhhh,,,, *eek*  Wow, its been a while since i dealt with that issue. I was in a push to offload some projects and DID end up selling some other ones (BUT NOT THIS ONE YET!) And being summer time here in the US, I got busy with other issues.   It IS still availible and I can get some pictures updated soon when I get home. (I will be offline for a few days)
