That's out by me. If anyone wants to make the arrangements with the seller, I can take a look at it in place of someone having to drive out for nothing.
PM me if interested.

Wiyll be anxious to see if its for real also. Just wish i had an extra 2g laying around to get it. Was just saying how i would love to have one of these to run the river with. CCC
finally someone who isnt dreaming- we have a guy advertising here for 4500
I talked with the guy last night and will be looking at it this afternoon...
update
I met with the owner yesterday afternoon. The sled was down the road in Algonac. He's had it for sale about two weeks with a couple offers but none close to his asking price ($1.4K and $1K).
Has the stock Yoko with 240 miss-matched woody's/another brand with at least one missing (not torn out just missing). Track looked to be in decent shape.
I'd guess it had been rolled at least once based on:
- cracks in the hood repaired with smeared apoxy on the underside
- '98 gauge pod that miss-matches with the headlight
- kill button broken
Left foot hold is wrinkled with replacement rivets but the rest of the tunnel looked straight. Perhaps from a front end collision/trailing arm collapse?
Noted add-ons:
- Roller secondary
- Heel Clickers
- Funky fresh air tubing (corrigated pool hose) from the front nose screen to the clutch cover... clutch cover spiratically drilled for some reason
- Tether kill switch
- Obnoxious (DG ? ) "silencers"
The sled lit on the second pull - very high half choke idle rpm so I'm guessing engagement speed has been cranked up (compared to the stock engagement speed my stock '01, it would have been on it's own way across the street).
It was running on all three but I didn't do a compression test.
He uses seafoam so the carbs don't need to be cleaned.
Said he's owned it two years and has only had it on the lake a couple times (he lives within riding distance to Fair Haven boat launch/winter drag strip) but "it's never been raced".
Nice enough guy and since I wasn't the potential buyer I didn't mention all the things above. He may get close to what he's asking if he waits long enough but if it were me I'd wait for another or offer him $800.00 two months from now.
What made it worth the trip was a peek at the '73 Rupp Nitro free air 800 Magnum triple/triple. Only 30 left according to the owner. A little lumpy but all there including the mufflerless triple pipes.

Thanks for checking it out. Sounds like those 700 some miles were rough ones.
