Just a reminder check for the frame crack since it looks like that frame was repainted.

Did you ask about the fairings in the one pic? Does he still have them? That could be worth the money by itself.

So.... I got it . All for 350 duckets.
Looks a slight bit worse than what I had imagined (outdoor shop, west coast weather, dust etc...). The guy seemed pretty upfront about it, and what was wrong with it. However, there are a couple positives
- extra parts (see video) that can be sold to cover the cost of the bike
- new battery
- DECENT rear tire. Not sure I'd trust it, but no visible dry rot (front is toast)
So the bike turned over at his place, but wouldn't start (not surprised, sat with fuel in the carbs for months). Used it as a bargaining chip. After I got home, she fired up (kinda of, <4 jugs)

Not too bad man. Heck it even runs. Motor sounds solid and no smoke...even if it isn't running on all cylinders. You did good.

That was the same problem I had once it ran...do you tear it down for parts or give it a new life. I can tell you this, as I'm buying all these parts I'm thinking I'm crazy
