Hello all, after cruising many internet sites all summer we came across a complete 400 barn bike with 3600 miles for $250. It was sold as a parts bike with a bill of sale. We ran the VIN through three different sites before purchase and they all came back clean. We don't have a key and are researching how to get one With my Harley a title is required but I would like to make sure it will run before going to the effort and expense of getting a title. It has good compression and the tank is solid it is a complete bike in very good cosmetic condition for the year.. We will remove the carbs, disassemble for cleaning and drain the tank later tonight. We have found some ignition switches on ebay and maybe the best route will be to just get a new switch to get it started then title it and get the proper key. Any advice and experience with these bikes much appreciated. My Son was very impressed to find his bike has it's own Forum!
