Big touring bike

Yep,new tires,battery, but it does have one issue that has to be fixed and the guy has all of the new parts included.I,ll take pics as I go. He had no shop to work in and just gave up. Interesting situation I,ve never run into before.Plus my brother and nephew are coming over tomorrow to help unload it.More to follow.
Deals like that are out there, especially this time of year. A guy that keeps scanning the ads and is ready to jump and run with cash in hand can make a great score. I'd have jumped on that one in a hot minute given the resources (Like a home with a garage) Even if it's a dud it could be parted out and a guy would still come out ahead.
Thanks this one I'll keep, wanting to paint it a nice blue.Have a big trip planned next spring.I like buying bikes to either rehab or part out but lately the no title situation has made me rethink things. Last night I withdrew the offers I had out on an 82 Seca 750,two 82 GS750s, 82 GS 850g,80 CB750SS, all no titles. But I have a lot of projects right now so I'm fine with that.
Got the bent forks off tonight.This cavalcade is built like a truck. New set which I got with the purchase 
going on tomorrow. The left fork has a slight back bend in it, the right slight forward.Looks like the lower left triple is bent also. I'll have to take out the stem and triples tomorrow.So I laid out the new parts which is the stem,upper and lower trips, both fork legs and this super strong brace.

The lower triple was bent so I used the complete new steering stem assembly that came with it. A bit of work involved because of the bits and pieces that had to be removed. Everything slid into place OK and tomorrow I'll repaint the black part of the wheel and install it. Waiting on the chinese express to get my brake parts here so it will be clean and detail 
till then.
till then.I reread the post and realized I forgot to say why the forks were changed. The guy and his wife were on it entering into his gravel driveway and he went a little wide and slid the front wheel into the concrete base of his mailbox. That twisted the forks and broke the fender brace. That factory brace was so weak I wouldn't have used it on a small bore streeter. So he bought an aftermarket billet aluminum heavy duty one. No damage anywhere else.
