This '78 750K for $450? Whatcha think?

No title, but that's not necessarily an issue here in TN. I can bring a battery and see if it turns over w/ the starer.. maybe even shoot some starter fluid into the carbs and see if it fires up? Regardless, even if it doesn't, there's $400 worth of parts there right?

If it's worth doing, it's worth doing twice.

That's a steal at 400-450$, especially if it runs. That seat is horrible, haha.

hahaha!  agreed.

i think you'd be hard pressed to not get more than your $$ back even if you had to part it out.
