Your welcome VinSanto!
I am sorry to have possibly deflated your venture into this particular bike however.
The good news is, there are plenty of others to go find.
If you do, may I strongly suggest you find a bike that is fully operational and has been at least decently cared for. Least then you know what issues it has or not.
Unless you have a full shop, a good budget and better than average skills or a whole lot of love & money, I'd steer well clear of any bike that has been parked outside, inoperable for any length of time, no matter how good a deal. They go bad quickly in situations like that and could be an indicator of just how the bike was treated all along..
Best of luck to you sir!
