Nice looking Bike.
It looks like a LMS one, H-D stickers and overspray on the fork Gaiters ;)

Looks like you have some good trails around there to enjoy. 8-)

Greybeard :Yes, its a LMS one! Not sure about the HD stickers, might peel them off soon.
I must say that I am suprised at the state of this bike, the meter says 200, and it looks and feels like new. only rubber on end of forks is bad.

And the contract plate has been painted over- why do they do that ?

I wonder why they didn't fit the same tyre front and rear? Usually with T63 on the rear and two-spring rear shockers the tyre is still on the ground when on the centre stand. Perhaps the tyre they've fitted is a slightly different profile.

Well done for getting your bike so far, good luck with registration

I honestly dont know the actual meter stand of the bike. I choosed it on only a pic and had choice of 5 bikes.I took the one with the lowest miles on it, all of the 5 looked good on the pics. Everything on it feels tight but i do not have any experience on how it normaly feels. as a "best case scenario" could it have been in reserve storage for all theese years? STIG:)

Yes, or it could have had a new speedo fitted. In truth no-one really knows, but we do know that many bikes have been sold by the military with less than 5000km on the speedo and don't seem to have had hard lives. If it feels tight that's a good sign.

You've made the best decision you could based on the information available to you. The good thing about the bikes is that they are easy to work on and all parts are available, so even if something does go wrong or break you can always repair them.
Good luck with your bike
