Oh, and welcome to the forum, this is a great place for learning and all around good conversation.
Thanks for the welcome RR. I know what you are saying, if the price was right I'd probably fly out and get an eyeball on it and a feel.

Please, sir, look for a bike that you might want to buy in your local area, there are probably tons of them
That bike is not something that "I" would buy. Way to much stuff done to it.
Yikes man,... Sir? I'm not that old! :-) What do you mean by "way to much stuff"?
I'm in a rural part of the state, at least 2 hours from bigger cities. I could spend tons of hours looking and lots of money to do so. I have a full time plus job, and an internet business so time is also important. Decisions decisions....

Is it not better to spend some time and money now? or spend it later on something that is not what you thought that you were getting?

Glad you found us. I think I would look for something a little closer to home. Seems like a lot of distance...and further, like Markcuda said, I think it better to start from scratch and do what you want to the bike yourself, personalizing as you go.

Let us know what you do.
