[QUOTE="JesseR, post: 1869026, member: 5258"] Ok so it's an older 88. That is a little different. With the age and mileage, I would be interested in the wear of the cam chain tensioners. They are known to wear and the chain is different from the 96" version. These parts in the cam chest can make the motor louder as well as wear out. 40K miles, although not a lot for the motor, could be something that you will work on in the next 5-10K miles. This is not for sure, as some have 60K miles, but just want to point that out. With the age, I'd take it on a long hard test ride before dropping cash. Also based on all the options on the market, I'd look somewhere south of $7K for the bike. I don't care how much "custom" work has been done, it doesn't translate into increased value. Good luck.
