Wonder how cheap it could be had for? I do have seats for it and a better looking set of OEM shocks.

Well, bike related problems.  I bought a rear fender from George (Momz) also, got to get it painted, thinking of maybe doing the Matte Black thing. Saw a HD last night that was and it looked good.

I'd bet it was a Hurricane Sandy bike. What a shame to see it end up like that.

Needs parts you'd normally replace/upgrade anyway. If I lived in Jersey, I'd jump all over it. Spit,. polish and seafoam.

Motorcycling is not, of itself, inherently dangerous. It is however, extremely unforgiving of: inattention, ignorance, incompetence or stupidity.

If it's a hurricane bike, it could have sat under water for a couple of days.
You just won't know what is toast and what isn't, till you tear it down or try to get it running.
To me, it's a parts bike, but looks like a lot of good parts.

I would take it as a restore. I can't bring myself to strip a bike like that. I would get it running. A very good color. I have most cosmetic parts in stock . I stripped a bike that caught fire , but if a bike is in that shape , I would get it golng. To many Valks are being stripped . It is to close to IZ to do a road trip. If there is anyone neat to fingerprint the bike , let us know. I would love to buy it.

The guy said he wanted $1,000 for it. I said OK and have not heard from him since.
