The hardest part will be finding a buyer. You could always donate it to
one of those charity outfits .
Heck ,just do what so many other POs have done. Weld on some brackets
,prick punch the universal bearing area to "tighten it up ", weld the
generator bracket,clamp some highway footrests on the crashbars,use some
of those homemade pullers to take it apart and mount some nondescript
yamakawazuki switchgear on the bars. Now take it out for a ride thru the
swamps and store it on a dirt floor in the dampest area you can find.
Toss some wine bottles around it so you will have no trouble finding
it.Now someday when you get the urge to ride it you'll have time to come
to your senses before you can get it running.

Better to regret selling it than wonder why you kept it :)

Loopframes are becoming more scarce and expensive to buy/restore. Sport
bikes are everywhere. Besides, just one bike? You can't play golf with

one club!
