The engine on the main motorcycle he was working on was rebuilt and in very good condition, held compression and runs.
We started it while I was looking it over. There is a second engine, does not look like it has been rebuilt, but had good compression all the way across as well. Two tanks, the better one of the two has one small dent but it is going to paint soon.

Several bars, two extra frames with titles, with the newer of the two being a 2000 year model, it has the rear brake on it in very good condition and the forks are rebuilt and sealed and cleaned up. I will probably replace my rear brake with the newer one.

A third engine block with a bad rod, the cylinders are in the machine shop getting cleaned and honed.

There are 3 boxes of parts and several stock exhausts. And a very nice cafe style cowl/windshield. It looks to be aftermarket.
I'm currently at work but I will be taking pictures soon. There is no rear cowl, or seat that I want to use for that matter.
The gentleman also said he has some more parts he has to send to me as they are not in his possession yet.

Dang! In my world, we call that a treasure chest. And you just scored one heck of a deal. Congratulations are definitely in order.

I have two quick pictures I've snapped before unloading and making a second trip for the other frames/motors.

Okay, well, I very much like the tank that is on the bike currently, and it is going off for paint tomorrow.

From just looking at the lines of the motorcycle as it sits, I can think of nothing but a cafe style build for this particular motorcycle. So the search is on for a tail section/cowl idea utilizing the stock tailsection with minor modification...

Looks like some brand new Pod Air Filters on those CV BS34's. I wonder if the guy had it jetted for those, or that's why he got rid of it so cheap. Look in the stuff for the Air Box, as you May want to use it so you can spend time riding and not tuning. Or get in with one of the members who runs those carbs with Pods to help you set them up, that's if they haven't been yet.
Anyway that looks like one hell of a score!!

Thanks for the tip! He told me they were tuned by a place nearby, I think he said they were called twowheelworld. But they were not tuned on this particular bike, so I will not know how they are set up until I get to running the bike.
