Photos and history of the bike
Here are the promised photos:

So, here is the story as I know it:
The original owner was an old man who kept it garaged most of the bike's life, and had handicapped plates that were on it when the 3rd owner got it. The second owner was a young kid, who dropped it on the right side, which is why there is some road rash on that side. Its definitely visible in the controls, and along the exhaust. The brake reservoir and the coolant overflow have been repaired, though if I can find the parts at a reasonable rate I will be replacing them, as I do think they are kind of important systems on the bike. The seem to be working well now though. Also, the tach and speedo are not functional, but the previous owner said that he had pulled the tach cable from the valve cover and the gear was turning there, so its just a cable issue. I have since checked, and there appears to be an internet store that has each cable for $15, so no big deal there. Also, there are no turn signals on it, but I know the manual signals, and for a while that will be fine. I will probably look into getting signals before I start riding it on the highway though. The tool box is missing from behind the seat, which I am 90% positive that I will be replacing as soon as I can find a tool box for sale.
Tomorrow I will try to get some insurance on it, and then, get it registered in my name, and start riding it around the neighborhood.
