I also got the original Suzuki luggage rack with sissy bar which will likely be for sale. Got an aftermarket windshield that is in really good shape. He has already installed a Dyna S and some Accel coils. He threw in a Clymer manual and some before and after pictures of the work he has done. The best part is that the title is 100% legit in his name. No wrangling to get the bike in my name like I had to do on the KZ.
I plan on following the Trianglelaguna modification schedule on this one. We'll ride it and think about mods later.

The L model zooks are akin to an LTD as I understand. This is definitely a cruiser guy that I bought it from. He has a new Vulcan in the garage.
So I jumpered it to a battery that half-ass holds a charge. Pleased to say that all the electrics function. Awesome red backlights on the gauges. Poured a little fresh gas in the tank, and promptly had the vacuum petcock puke it on the floor. So I need to sort out the petcock and a battery. Basic maintenance and she'll be rollin'.

Someone over at GSResources just reminded me to try the aux tank, like when you're syncing carbs. Duh! I'm too giddy about finding this bike. Can't even think straight. It doesn't happen often, but I'm a dumbass tonight. It's good to be a dumbass every once in a while. Hell, I spent more money on the ignition for the KZ than this whole bike. I would bet the farm that I get this started tomorrow off the old lawnmower tank.
