Do you have the link or eBay number, or must we have to search for it?

Several major issues, the cases being one, but the FL VIN is a fantasy. The FL was introduced in '41. The frame is a mess, neck has been replaced (looks like they used one for a 45), wrong tank trim, wrong toolbox, wrong cam cover (40 was sandcast),entire repop dash, repop primary, wrong type spotlights, repop battery cover, weirdly wrong front brake cable routing, missing steering damper stay, repop seat, aftermarket luggage rack, wrong clutch pedal, wrong crashbar, junk horn, and plenty more...

Maybe he is not familiar with scoots, and just reiterating what was conveyed to him. Good part bike for me. :P :P

Looks like a good 'part bike' alright, if you're looking for V-Twin stuff. Reminds me of 'Plumber's build on the caimag site.

May be a nice bike.
Too few pictures to tell much about, but a lot of bidders like it....
I don't trust sellers with private feedbacks, but what do I know?
