The customized gear lever will get a lot of street cred
Perhaps the previous owner had an artificial right leg and had to change gears by hand.
Wonder what is inside the head ....... I can see that what is attached to the back of the head is not original.

Just need to change the rusty fuel cock levers and she's perfection.
I'm not sure what happens when you turn the lever to point straight up though ........ some kind of boost selector?

I always get those two mixed up ....... good thing they didn't dress the same or we could never tell them apart.

Ooh, it comes with a set of keys. An innovation like that has gotta be worth an extra $1000.
"Prospective bidders must satisfy themselves as to the mileage covered." How the fuck are they supposed to do that? Track down previous owners and strap them to a polygraph machine? That statement is something of a red flag to me. It actually raises suspicion that the indicated mileage is a crock of shit.
The bike itself looks good to me. I can't pick any inconsistencies from original, but I don't know much about 750 twins. I wouldn't expect an old bike to be 100% original anyway, even though the seller implies it is.

The Owner appears to be an early victim of Covid-19.
He, obviously, lost his sense of taste.
