If it runs out and needs no engine work then what are you waiting on.. 5 or 5500 would be a good buy on that bike. It has a lot of good stuff there.
Sweet looking bike also.
Somebody has been fixing it up so most likely it has been redone. just ask the guy all about it to see what has been done.
You got it yet??

Check out this '83 FXRS Shovel...it's so cherry, it could be a museum piece. I'm so tempted to buy it because it's absolutely virgin, but then I'd want to modify it into a beast...and that just wouldn't be right:
