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.

If those J and L's aren't rusted thru I would like to have those.

[m in sc]

j&R. not lomas. just fyi.

[RDFL]

Yeah. I meant R have a straight set would also like to have upswept, especially in chrome.

i think the frame neck had a sticker on it that was scrapped off.

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  . ...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?
