Ok sounds good.  If I have any doubt I won't do anything until I feel confident its good.

Thanks for the help!

Jason405, when they "run the Vin" it will only tell you if it was "registered/tagged" within the last 10 years in OK only.

and if its stolen!

Just make sure it has good, real title (not photo copy or anything). If it looks suspicious, ask if you both can go to local TAG office and verify that it's a good title. Doesn't mater from what state it's from or what state the title is from. Just maters that his name is on title and he is selling it. Won't cost you anything.

and compare VIN # on title to VIN # on bike!
::)  you guys missed the two most important points.

heffay, good catch. I forgot when I got the titles for my bikes they made me bring the bikes to the TAG office so they could verify the VIN# on the bike.

Alright guys.  The deal is done.  I got the 350F from my buddy.  Title is clean and clear.  It looks like it is all there.  I ended up paying $275 because he had already purchased some new parts I didn't know about at first and he gave everything to me.  This included a brand new set of Shinko 705 4.10-18's, fiberglass bobbed rear fender, new throttle and cable, new battery, and a few other things. 

The Shinkos aren't my first choice, but they will definitely get me rolling while I initially spend money elsewhere.  Like I said it is a complete bike as far as I can tell and I won't be using a LOT of the parts since the plan is to go the brat tracker direction, so if you are needing something for a 350F shoot me a PM and we should be able to work something out. 

Off the top of my head I won't be using the side covers, luggage rack, gauges, indicator lights, air box, seat (in pretty great shape), fork upper covers, and other stuff.  Like I said, if you think of something else let me know. 

I will probably start a build thread, and begin planning out how to proceed.  I KNOW I am going to have lots of questions, so I apologize in advance.

I'm excited! Back soon,
Jason

Good job! You will have many many dyas of fun trying to put this thing together. I would go throwing away your airbox just yet :)
