A complete and running bike with title for $1200 seems like a good deal to me. If restoring to stock is your goal all you need is side covers and pipes. Cleaning up the forks would not be a big deal.

Can550,

This is really a topic for Open or SOHC4 bikes.  This is not a build project you are documenting, right???

"There are some things nobody needs in this world, and a bright-red, hunch-back, warp-speed 900cc cafe racer is one of them — but I want one anyway, and on some days I actually believe I need one.... Being shot out of a cannon will always be better than being squeezed out of a tube. That is why God made fast motorcycles, Bubba." Hunter S.
