[QUOTE="enbro, post: 5376, member: 593"] I think this seller picks up bikes at local country auctions. Anyhow, I went out there tonight and bought the sucker! I paid $400 Canadian...that's about $350 USD. The guy threw in a front fender (rusty but not dented), a rear brake cable and two spare used tires. The levers are missing, the coil, air box and taillight are missing. Left handlebar is broken and needs welding/replacing. Right one is missing the screw. The good news is, I'd say with some soap and water it will look great! I don't know if it's the original paint, but it sure looks like it. Did they paint the whole bike silver, then red? There's some silver showing through down on the lower rear frames. The wheels are NOT rusty, there's compression, no welds on the frame, no damage really. The gas tank is extremely clean inside. I was excited and anxious and completely forgot to get the gas tank emblems from the guy, obviously he wasn't going to offer them up since I offered him less on the bike. I could kick myself, but oh well...it's a cool bike nontheless and I'll have to find some emblems. I think the bike will sit in my garage for now, waiting for that long winter when I have nothing to do. Right now I have too many other things going on. Then again, maybe a few parts and a bit of work and I could get it running enough to enjoy it a little? :-) [/QUOTE]
