John, did you notice that the starting bid is $200? The 78E they had listed looked to be a better candidate for parts and the stating bid was only $30. Can't help but notice that the side covers are always missing on all these salvage bikes, they must grow legs after the bike is wrecked.Comment

No I didnt...couldnt get past it being over 500 miles away
Not a $200 bike. I'd bid $30 for the other though!

There is enough parts to make your money back at $200 and easily double it, but not enough to ship it here to Ohio. For the exhaust you probably will need to do some cutting and welding to use what is still good, most likely the 2 and 3 headers mangled the collectors as well.but those are in short supply.
That had to have been at some decent speed though for the front wheel to be caved in and that tank is almost pancaked, so someone went off the front side. I'd say the former owner may well be formerly here. Lack of damage to the sides of the bike would say it only went over after it was completely stopped.Life is what happens while your planning everything else!
When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt.
