Appears to have a Rune swingarm and Rune handle bar controls and Master cylinders. Seller doesn't seem to be to proud of the workmanship though.

From the description given on E-bay by the owner... looks like there is a lot to be done to get it right.  $6900 and Reserve not met... Certainly not worth it.  I would'nt give it a second thought.

  But not at the asking or reserve price. Some definite promise there but at a lower price. 4 g or in that vicinity. 2funny RIDE SAFE.

I dig it. But not at that $$$ not knowing what exactly I'm getting. If it could be seen in person then maybe...

I put a GL1800 single sided swing arm on my Valk years ago. The frame would have to be beefed up quite a bit to make it a sound install. I didn't like the way it was heading, and took it back off.
If I went to do it again I would make an entirely new swing arm and just use the final drive.
