My son-in-law and I drove out to Apex NC Thursday and picked up the bike. It was indeed exactly as described. Turns out the original owner purchased this bike after he retired and then died in his sleep a month later. His widow couldn't bear to sell it until this Fall. The guy I bought it from purchased it and then decided he needed the cash to use as a down payment on a new house. He replaced the battery with an AGM battery, installed new spark plugs, changed the oil and filter, flushed the radiator and re-filled but only put about 221 miles on it before I bought it.

Now I need to move the rectifier out to get some airflow over it and replace the six year old tires, not worth the risk to me to run on tires that are around six years old.
Other mods will follow.
