Great.. thanks!
He does have receipts for everything.. ranging from block resleeve,
installation of hard valve seats, new pistons, rods, rod caps, valves main
bearngs, reground crank, oil pump. New clutch assy, new ring gear, water
pump, speedo cable, exhaust. There's a receipt for "transmission and rear
end checked and lubed"
My guess is that he's being honest, but that he wants to get a little more
out of it than possible (having restored my old trumpet MC and comparing
money in to resale value, I know this is a tough pill to swallow). He's
actually asking $6500, and my instincts have been telling me "offer 5k".
Anyone else want to chime in? =)
