    Nice. The last one I bought had no tank or seat. Can I ask what you paid?

                      I will have to work a little to get one from the last owner.
                      It was stored at the first owner garage, he told me that he rode this gs to colorado, yellowstone park and many more national park.Second owner got sick and the bike was parked.
                      I need to reply to your PM
