This a beautiful bike with approximately 3100 original miles on it (it changes each time I ride it).  I've put less than 300 miles on the bike since I've owned it.  I'm selling it because I'm getting older and just don't ride much anymore.  It's such a gorgeous bike that I thought about just parking it in our living room to look at, but figured that someoine might actually want to ride it and show it off.  I inherited the bike from my father who passed away 20 years ago.  He bought it from an old bachelor who kept it in his barn in the desert in California, who had too many toys and rarely rode the bike.  I left the bike for a year (2014-2015) with a friend who is a retired motorcycle mechanic outside of Chicago, who performed the following restorations on the bike:Replaced the front fork tubes and seals (fork oil)Installed tapered roller steering head bearingsReplaced tires, inner tubes and rim strips, disassemble brake panels, lube brake cams, clean brake drumsCompression test: 155-160 both cylindersReplaced spark plugs, points and condensers, set the ignition timing and valve lashDisassemble and clean/adjust carbs (set float level, sync throttle and choke cables, idle speed and idle mixture)Adjust and lube drive chainlube and adjust all cablesReplaced battery, check rectifier resistances and Zener diode, check charging rate and alternator output (positive charge rate with all lighting energized)Adjust primary chain, replace primary cover gasket.Change transmission fluid, primary case fluid and engine oil, clean oil strainer, verify oil circulation (tank return, rocker box banjos).Flushed out gas tank
