Buy it. Wiseco jugs are worth $400. Flatslides are worth that too if they are useable. I wouldn't believe everything that a seller says about mods unless he was able to produce receipts for work done.

PS I love how bikes are always advertised as scary fast, unrideable, 230 mph busa killer. As though the operator has no control of the throttle.

Hey guys! I'm stuck in a meeting all day but I am happy with the interest this has generated. I will call the seller today to make arrangements to pick it up, hopefully Saturday. I will post pics once I get it home. I couldn't take pics when I went to look at it as it is currently stuffed in the corner of a garage behind a race car and engines on stands, etc.

I think this is an overall exciting, at least interesting find, something to generate interest amongst like-minded people. It will be fun to participate on the site. If I don't wind up taking on the project it would be neat to pass it on to someone whose progress we could follow or who could really use the parts.

I will keep you posted!!!
