I bought a 99 1500J from a guy up in NC.  Working on 'making it my own'.

Well, I'm glad he decided to keep it.
I think he would have regretted selling it.  :'(

By the way, the guy changed his mind.  He plans on attaching a sidecar so he can still ride with his prosthetic.

Ditto.. if you don't want it, let us know. SC isn't that far from me!

Heck, you can even get a free tarp from Harbor Freight if you have one of their coupons.

I agree. I hate to see nice things sit out and rot in the weather when a $10 tarp could have protected it...

Of course it's hard to tell from the pictures but at first blush, I'd say it a steal for $1500!  Worst case, if there's something seriously wrong, you'd easily double your money (and more) parting it out.  If that was near me, I'd have it already.

That's my thinking exactly   8)

1)  When did he lose the leg?

2) I would only buy it for the value of a parts donor, based only on the value of any parts in GOOD condition.  At best, it's a long term project bike.  You have absolutely no idea what it needs. . . . . and that's being generous.  Realistically, I would pay no more than $1k for it.. . . and that's without inspecting/testing it.  You might find the engine is seized and if that's hosed. well . . . . . .

A big concern for me would be the electrical.  Much of the electrical is housed inside that missing right hand side cover, which means it's been open to the elements for some time now.

  That would look so good in the living room as next winter's project, the 800 is done, only regular maintenance left to do to it everything else has been done that I wanted or needed, so need a new project.

I'd have to agree with bambam0099, unless you can get it for cheap and are prepared to have a project on your hands.
