... when they post like that... you offer the ask, send a deposit, and offer to pick up on their schedule.

Hmm, I thought the TS has a block stamped VNL3M. That happens to be the same starting sequence as a P125X block.

I know this because one came with the Allstate chassis parts pile. I thought it was a TS until I ran the serial on Scooterhelp and found it was out of an '80 P125X.

Looked up after getting off the Kajiit hotline late last night.... 76, 77 TS blocks are vln3m, P125 77,78, etc are vln3m, so crossover for sure

That's a nice clean bike. Not an amazing price but not bad. The hyperbole in the ad means he's probably not budging on price much. It's a bit over the top on the description. People who know, know already.

It's "rare" because most people ripped all those unwieldy accessories off years ago.
