Post some pics

As far as "over paying"...

It's your money and you bought something you wanted with your money. Unless it's a giant piece of crap that needs alot of work, i wouldn't worry about it unless you bought to flip it for a profit

Funny side note, I don't think my dog likes it one of those pics showed him sniffing it and right after I took it he pissed all over the pipe!

Looks good to me these bikes are getting harder and harder to find especially one that doesn't look like it been molested and is mostly original. clean it up paint some things and get a new seat cover and ride it like ya stole it.

Looks like a fair deal to me.

I've seen some piles of junk go for $1k and the person said, "All it needs is blah, blah, blah."
Yep, that's another $500 - $1k for blah, blah, blah.

The over pay question, I completely understand. I gave $1900 for my 85.5 Tri-Z. Way more than it's actually worth but trying to find one isn't easy and I've always liked the Black/Red Z.

Very clean! With a little engine work your "fooler" will be just as fast as any 85-86

Perhaps you need to think like a dog. Maybe he loved it so much he "marked" it as his territory.
I also think you got a good deal if it runs well. You've got to pay the piper for a good running trike these days.
Take care of the seat so it doesn't deteriorate.
