The one was originally listed with a TZ front end. which was later listed by itself in Seattle for 2 or 3K.
Bike was listed for parts for ages. \now back on with a friend. Second bike looks like something you dont want to buy. "Corroded" vin looks a lot like ground off vin

That's called "spot corrosion", it's common on CL bikes here in the northwest. :umm:

The ground off VIN is illegal even if it isn't stolen. Have to cut up the frame and get rid of it. Like I've never done that before  :whistle:. ...Not with a motorcycle anyway.

We're really talking about a rusty roller and spares.

$1000 and I might not take the frame with the ground VIN. I'd probably do it if I lived nearby just because I could. A lot of work to bring that back.

I always wonder about bikes that "live" on Craigslist for over a year?
