Default Advice Please

Greetings all. Just registered and I am a wanabee owner. I am going to look at and possibly purchase a project bike tomorrow morning. I don’t know much about it but I think it is a 900cc Ironhead.

I have owned a number of bikes through the years but this will be my first Harley. Can you please suggest what I should be looking out for?

All help is appreciated.
