Default Shortster?

I bought this bike yesterday, saw it sitting in a shed and bought it from them for $100. With a little starting fluid I got it running last night, but the clutch cable was too far out of adjustment for me to take it for a spin. After doing some research, I believe it's a 72 Shortster. Am I correct on that? My plan was to clean it up and paint it but is this too rare for me to mess with since it's all original? Should I put it in the hands of a collector? I've never owned a motorcycle and don't have my endorsement to ride one.

Look on ebay. Or just google it. There are ones restored and selling for 3-4 grand.
