If the title is indeed good, I would think so....

[Crowbar]

Yikes, thats downright frightening.
I'd be afraid it has been molested by amateurs. Customized frame? I don't think 71's had the 1000cc engines yet. Anyway you could sell all that stuff for $1000 bucks but you have to wonder why nobody has put it back together.

[Moon Wolf]

Nah, there are all kinds of reasons to take bikes apart and not put them back together. Guys get in over their head. That's well worth a thousand bucks--frames with titles routinely sell on ebay for $500 plus, and then the buyer has to pay the shipping.

Buy it. Pull the engine apart. It it's in rough shape, part it out and make at least a thousand bucks, take the money and buy a $2000 bike (I'm seeing more of those around lately--is it the economy?).

If that was in the Seattle area it would already be sold, and I would have bought it.

1972 was the first year for the 1000. Either it was converted (requires machining of cases) or the frame/engine don't match.

There should be VIN's on 1970+ frames...

[Moon Wolf]

Or the guy's just wrong about the displacement. I'd take that for a grain of salt.

Good idea to check the title against the frame numbers, though, and it's a bonus if the engine # matches.

I would go see what it looks like and buy it. A lot canbe done with the right pile of junk.

[Buck101]

I'd give a grand for it, but am too far away.

[alleydude]

Probably worth it, but I think I'd save myself some aggravation and save up for something more complete/together.

[XLFREAK]

Looks like he has some of the little BS pieces that I am missing. 1000 bucks is a good deal with 2 frames. He is probably wrong about the displacement.

Be careful on the road to Kingman.... I have had friends killed on it... I think this might be worth the drive... about 3 hours round trip barring road construction.

I picked up my Pile-O-Parts for around $1000 and you can see what I got out of it!!!!

[kerby]
