If I decide not to go for it, I'll post it up here for sure. So, the other frames are off DMV records, and are a 71 and a 72. The only way to get this thing legal quickly is to put it in one of those frames. The good news is that my mortgage modification just got finalized, and I am paying almost $1,000.00 less per month than I was four years ago. Right now, the tentative plan is to get a TC bros hardtail and hardtail whichever of the other frames is in better shape, and then swap parts over (loosing the starter and associated wiring on the way). Once that frame is registered, then I can swap the engine, forks, tank (temporarily) and seat onto the hardtailed frame. I think I can do it in two days of work. My wife finally conceded that another bike project would take up less room than one of my trailers... so if I get rid of a trailer that I didn't ever really want... I should be in. I think I will go in offering $300 and see what we settle on. I'll keep $500 with me, just in case. My goal will be to get the thing on the road for under $1k. Think its doable?
