Cool, thanks. Absolutely will try the bike beforehand!
This all jives with what I see on EBay, etc -- that stock LHTs are ~800-900, and mods range up in the $1000-1100 range. I haven't seen any CL or EBAY offers w/ less (although most of the starting offers on CL are ~1000 for a stock LHT).
I'll let y'all know what happens!
