  | looks like it could be a decent project bike if you could find the parts that you would need for it. Do you know how to work on bikes, or atleast the electical system to replace the ignition system and install headlight?

| Make sure he has a title for it. No key might mean it was stolen.

| Also, make darn sure that the frame hasn't been tweaked and the forks are straight as an arrow. You can replace parts, but if the frame is bent you'll be spending $$$ on a new one. You'll know if it is because it'll be squirrely as hell the first time you ride it. Plus, if it's been sitting awhile, remember that you'll probably have to pull the carbs and disassemble and clean all four of them, and also sync them on reinstall.

| IMO, no, it's not. You'll have more into it than if you bought a clean, running bike for $1500.
