    If it starts & rides it's a good one , they will have oil leaks they can be fixed , what model are you looking at ? Also see if seller has the service manual with it you'll need it

    Sounds like a good deal. Mine's a '77 bobber, FLH motor. If you have a picture of it, try posting it. Good luck & welcome to Bike Talk!
