Any comments on the this would be appreciated.


The painted parts all look good. That's the hardest part usually to replace
or fabricate. Original paint really adds value if it can be polished up to
look good all over. Before the economic crash you could have sunk several
hundred to a couple grand into it depending on if you did all the work
yourself or not, and then turned around and resold it as a cherry
restoration for a very tidy profit. Now, it would make an awesome personal
project, but it might be hard to find the right buyer. Somebody like Jay
Leno might give you top dollar if he wanted it, but there aren't as many
middle class buyers with the cash laying around for toys these days.

Back in the day when I was really into motorcycles I'ld have bought it as is
for the right price any day of the week.
