Yorkie,  I appreciate your response and viewpoint on what the bike I'm looking at might be worth. That's kinda what I was thinking, but the owner is wanting more than that. Did you have much trouble finding a replacement oddball seat? If I were to do the deal to obtain this bike, I'd consider replacing the flared end seat and hi-rise handlebars with more conventional Commando bars and seat. I'd guess others may have taken this route with these Hi-Rider models. Can I ask how much time, trouble, and $$$ did it take to obtain a title for your bike? I've posed this question on a mid-fifties Chevy forum that I belong to, and there were many responses and stories that were all over the place about this topic. There was much conversation and debate about what guys had to do and go through to obtain a title for cars that were purchased without one. It seemed to vary considerably depending on what state you were in. I personally avoid buying any untitled vehicle/bike that I intend to register/plate/ drive on the road.
