anyone wanna feel this guy out to see if he might be the perp?....looking for an older project 900 sounds suspiciously like " I am looking for a clean frame to move all the shit I just stole onto " in the way that I read it....perhaps I am just being negative and associating bad things when thinking the worst.

Not a bad idea should reach out to the victim to see if he wants to get involved? Maybe he posted the ad. - Gene

I always thought we were much more immune to theft than the Jap bikes.  Guess this changes things a bit.  I'm not sure if this bike had an immobilizer or not, but I always assumed it would be a pain in the ass for a thief to steal the latest gen Ducs since a bunch of expensive parts have to match.

this bike is an older carby bike...no weird hoodoo electronics that prevent you from doing things...but there are a few one off parts on that along with the fact that someone's sweat and time equity went into making something that was loved and unique.

Ah, I see.  Yeah, it's a sweet bike. I like what he did with it a lot.

What a nicely done bike and even without reading about it, one glance lets you know it was a labor of love.  Any bike thief is a scum, but the perp(s) here seem to be scummier than most. 

My eyes and ears are open...
