The price seems fair. I'm interested but would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks!

i think you are too tall and your inseam is too long for you to comfortably put any miles on that thing... im thinking you need a standard seat height motobrick like your lt compared to a low seat motobrick...

Thanks Johnny. Is there no way to convert it to a higher ride?

id go take it for a test ride... then you will know the difference first hand... who knows... you may like it..

changing low to high... i would not... butts folks do it... here is some info... plus you will need the side panels too...

im looking at this on my phone... caint really make out the photos... has this thing been wrecked... or are the shadows making it look once wrecked...

lottsa nice motobricks out there for approx 2k... this thing is gonna need full blown maintenance... i mean everything... the most i would give is 1k... unless there is documentation of full blown maintenance including ALL splines... then id have to think about 1.5k...

id run it up to 70mph in 5th... down shift to 4th and pop the clutch with the thing reved to the red line... if it sticks and goes your clutch is prolly good...

Thanks again! I'll check it out.

For me, this would be something smaller than my LT for daily commuting or day trips. I'd use the LT for longer hauls. We'll see how it feels.

I think you can find a nicer bike with lower miles that you won't have to convert for the same money.

I think someone who can't be bothered to clean a bike they are selling probably hasn't bothered to look after it that much over the past 7 years. I'd walk.

+1.  You can find a  better brick.
