Saw it on the local Craig's List this morning. Seller/giver told me this evening it hadn't been 10 minutes before my email arrived; while he was typing a response, three more emails came in.
Just got back from picking it up. Complete, original, unmolested. 8K miles.
It's dusty, but the chrome isn't pitted at all. Some of the tank's clear coat is rubbed off. Has a tear in the seat, a slightly cracked side cover, a broken rear turn signal and it needs a new rear tire before any serious riding. Been in his garage for four years. Needs a battery, of course. I just ordered a new seat and turn signal for it; I'll offer the old seat here or eBay it.
Engine is clean and will polish up well; no broken fins, etc. Can't see that it's been down, ever. It's dark here now, or I'd post some images.
Fa-ree. Clean title signed over to me. Oh, and he threw in three old helmets.
'bout freaking time I had some good karma.
