Full disclosure. Like I said, Ted was a great guy. Hunts,fishes,builds Chevy square bodies. No computers,or tech stuff. He had 14 texts overnight. I called him on the phone. He loved that. I asked a few ??'s. I told him it was a 86,there were no pics in the ad... He thought I was wrong,but wasn't going to argue. I told him IF it was a 87,he was way underpriced and I would pay him a fair price. He had already said" I know I'm high on the price,but everybody jews you down,so I started there". On the way there,,he called and said his phone was blowing up and he had enough. A guy from Albany HAD to own it and offered a guaranteed $2000 sight unseen even if it is a 86,it was the only bike he didn't have in his collection. Ted told him,I was on my way and was sure it was a 86. He said $800 is a lot of money. I said yes it is. He talked himself down and said it is yours,you are on your way and we had a deal. I said,Ted, I will look at it and if it is a 87,in all OE shape as your ad says. You will def be getting 2k !
When I got down cellar I about puked. End of story. IF the guy you're talking too held up his end of the bargain,,he did pay 2k for it. But I highly doubt that... If he did. I've got a couple to sell.. He obviously has found a few of the MANY problems with this bike and is gonna move on. I don't know who he is,which I found very odd.

he said he has 33 and recently sold 3 350xs. He should have just told me he bought it and didn't want it, that it was too much of a project for him, it wouldn't have mattered to me had he told me that, but saying he owned it for years when he clearly has not...ugh what's with people 
but man, pretty wild to hear the real back story on all of this.
