I bought this bike about 6 years ago on ebay from Iowa ( I live in Alabama ). The seller 's wife identified her husband as the original owner who had subsequently died. She was selling the bike after his death. When I purchased the bike it was represented to me to have 13,500 miles on it by his wife .I actually called her in Iowa before I bid to discuss the bike , its age and ownership, and its condition. The title, when it arrived, had a little less than that, and I have garage kept it these last 6 years and rode infrequently over the occasional weekend for about 2,500 miles. When I reviewed the title that she originally sent me from Iowa to try to accurately reverify the miles on the bike ( in Alabama a bike this old does not have to be retitled to obtain a tag so I still have her title in my possession) , the title has a little less than 12,200 miles on it but she had indicated that there was a question of the precise total and she verbally indicated that the bike was very infrequently used and she thought that the actual milage was about 13,500. As I have owned the bike and driven it these last 6 years, it mechanically rides consistent with a 38 year old low milage bike. THats all the information I have. I am not a dealer, this is my personal bike. It is important to me that I accurately represent this motorcycle. If you purchased it and felt that the motorcycle was inconsistent with the description, I would give a refund. I have a tool kit and original owners manual. Gas tank does not have rust. Bike has an aftermarket stand that I do not know make of. As far as I know everything on the bike works including all of the instrument cluster excepting the horn. Will add picture top of gas tank
