Just got it running a month or so ago after it had been sitting for 10+ years.
i wouldnt even try to ride that with those forwards

Super comfortable for the longer legged riders.

hi Everyone ! hope your day is going well !,
ben a while sense i posted here is a DG that was in Grany's Garage in japan, looks like it will onls need a few parts to restore, t features an S&S carb & straight pipes (ugh !) itst also missing the correct Drilled rear Disk brake Rotor . . . also looks like the wrong Sissy Bar , on the left side has Chrome Horn Cover, Coil Cover & Belt Gard.

typical Chrome pices look out of place on the DG !


looks original paint , would not take much to restore ! Rear Drilled Rotor would probably be the hardest part to find !

The tank decals are poorly placed at the wrong angle. I would say there is no way that's original.

Hi everyone hope you are enjoying your weekend !
here is a DG , its not mine its in Canada, needs a Little TLC ! But its an original Paint Bike with the original Pouches & fender Medallion . . . the owner passed away a few years ago & his wife would like to see go to a good home !


i would put a Black wall tire on this & put the original exhaust back on . . .


front brake lines are not OEM, but thats small beans !


OEM paint very good condition !


here you can see she's in need of some TLC at least a good detail ! notice the original fender Medallion !


here's the correct head pipes, will need mufflers as they are missing, notice the cooling fins for the exhaust are included !
