i'll look monday, he'll drive it to work then. the bike runs awesome and with smoke the 883 badly!
COULD i suggest to ASK him these QUESTIONS
#1 ?
What is the build date stated on the frame neck on the bike.... is it AFTER 15 dec. 1999?
IF IT IS later (after dec 15 1999) it makes it MORE worth the asking price...... that date or BEFORE, and if the cam bearing not replaced LESS $$$
#2 ?
HAVE YOU had a look at (inspected) OR replaced the tension shoes on the cams chains? and what was the mileage if done?
asking these kind of questions will let him think YOU KNOW YOUR STUFF...
I can FEEL YOU REALLY want THIS bike.....
NOTHING WRONG with that, but I'm trying to show YOU HOW to get the BEST DEAL on this bike..... and one that WON"T NEED a bunch of $$$ work on it in the NEAR FUTURE... 41,000 miles on this bike and IF answers are NO to the questions I SUGGEST to ASK HIM (listed above) might make HIM DROP PRICE so YOU can afford to do the repairs when You need to (soon)
Knowing the ANSWERS on above questions will tell you IF THE BIKE IS WORTH BUYING AT HIS PRICE....
If NOTHING has been done to it.... AND it is built on or before 12/15/99.
WITH YOU ASKING those questions MAYBE the price will come down $1000 to $1200 ...(should)
HOPE this will HELP YOU....
