I think that if everything else seems o.k., I'd tell the owner that I'd pay his price, but get him to fix the rectifier first, for an additional $100 ($60 for the rectifier, & £40 for his trouble) That way, you've got a running bike, which proves that the rectifier was the problem, & he gets $40 for his time. If he doesn't agree, then I'd be suspicious that the rectifier wasn't the only problem. This is because I reckon that if $60 is all it costs, I'd have sorted it out before I tried to sell it. People have been caught out before with "it only needs........."

Good luck :2tup:
