You should not do anything to it, instead you should PM me a place to pick it up

WHAT? 140 miles?
I've put over 4,000 miles on mine since I picked it up in May.

Not to change the subject and speaking of pics, that is a very nice signature pic. Very well done. Looks like a professionally done promo for Harley.

Beautiful bike, that's a keeper for sure. '91-'94 are the best years IMHO for evos. You have the upgraded oil tank mount with the '94, but still simple electrics IIRC. I have a black '91 standard model that looks identical except tank decal. You are blessed.

Make sure your brakes are 100%, don't risk it!!!

TIRES...... Those Dunrocks will be unsafe to ride on. It also looks like your battery has been leaking acid.
