From the look of the valve covers it was taken for a long slide on one, before someone pulled them off and yanked the (?) pushrods... still, parts is parts.

The bike does seem like a fairly good deal though.
The original post was titled something like "1972 R75/5 "Toaster" on Craigslist." That's why ZM makes his comment about how the title didn't have to be changed - he said that right after the title had been changed.

Did anyone say anything about the exhaust? It's missing. $1700 is still a good price though.
