I would agree on trailering the bike back. Leaking fork seals can make a mess and you don't want to damage the forks if they are really bad.
The bike has a few accessories that add a little value to some. I am not a big fan of all the lights on the bags but some are. The pictures are not great quality, so it makes it hard to tell true condition.
He didn't take any close-ups and there may be a reason. I noticed it has a trailer hitch and I know these bikes can pull a trailer, but it would be something I would not be thrilled about. Just me.
I have a 92 in this same color, and to me, this is the best color the Venture was painted.
I hope it is a deal you can make. :fingers crossed:I hope you get it running and enjoy it. It sounds like you have the practice and experience with getting them up and running.
Good luck,
J.T.
