The Attic Rat drove down from Tulsa and looked at it and declined to complete the purchase a little while back.  He checked it out pretty good and if you message him I'm sure he can tell you what he found, but basiclly the bike needs some work...

WARNING WARNING  
The owner of this bike is a liar he states in his add that this is a nice bike and the tires are in great shape. The bike is very rough and needs tires.     I agreeded to buy this bike and drove down from Tulsa. The bike is a real POS the tank is rusted the carbs are pluged up and the bike would not even idle. I pulled the plug wires one at a time and the engine was only running on 3 cylinders. That just the things that I notice right off. THe windshield is frosted beyond repair, there are bolts missing. The wheels are frosted so bad that you would have to spend a lot of hours sanding out the pits before you could even start to polish them. The bike has been stored outside, the speed & tach faces are bleached out from the sun. THere is quited a bit of paint work that needs to be done. I put a pencil to it and not counting the repair or replacement of the tank, I figured atleast 2,000.00 worth of parts and a lot of hours of labor. Just the parts alone you would have way more money in this bike that it is worth when it is top shape. This bike is so far gone that it needs to be parted out and is not worth anything close to what he is asking for it.
I realize that this is pretty harsh but I am just looking out for our members so they don't waste their time looking at this bike.
