Steve, that S1A looks like a great starting point for either a resto, or simply a clean-up, mechanical rebuild and get her on the road project. I really like that gold too. Someone wanting a bigger S2 should just pick this up and throw on the 350 top-end, though I can't remember if you would also need to enlarge the upper crank journals to clear the larger bore (53mm vs 45mm)...?

As I thought as well Darrin.
A good clean up and motor rebuild and you would have a great little triple.
Tops of the side covers, the plastic color is a bit sun faded.
So that and the slight depresion in the tank are about the worse features on the body work.
Rack/sissy bar is rusting but should clean up.
Thought of removing it and the roll bars and adding a rear grab bar.
Cash is KING and the offers are rollin in.
Someone is gonna be a happy camper.
