[QUOTE="ckyle29, post: 5328, member: 74"] If it truly is a 1969 and the frame is straight and complete, I might give him $200. From what I can see in the picture, it looks like a complete restoration is in order, so basically all you are buying is the frame and gas tank. If it needs a coil and all cables, it probably hasn't been run in quite some time, if it will run at all. The muffler is bent at the back, so that would also need to be replaced and it looks like the rear brake pedal assembly is missing entirely. The left front fork boot is not attached, so don't be surprised if the front forks aren't shot. It also looks like the left foot peg is bent to the rear, and the gas tank is dented on the left side. These things tell me it has probably been rode hard and put away wet. At least the chain is oiled, but maybe that was just for the picture. If you are looking for a cheap rider, this probably isn't it. If you are looking for a good winter project and have the money to do so, this could be a fun little project, but I would buy it with the understanding that it is just a project bike and not a rider.
