Hey guys I am new to this site.  I am looking at a 1998 KX 500.  The bike has about 5 hours on a rebuilt top end.  The bike looks good and runs good.  Here are the bad things. I can pick the bike up for $1500.00.  What do you think?

Rear shock leaking
Front forks are soft
Needs rear tire.

Here are the upgrades.

Oversize aluminum radiators
Devol radiator guards
Pro Taper Fat bars
Stealthy Flywheel
Full FMF exhaust
Weisco Pro lite piston top end rebuild
Hinson clutch basket
New chain
New sprockets
All new chassis bearings/ bushings
Desert tank and comes with stock tank
Barnett Clutches

welcome to the site...
$1500 sounds like a pretty fair price...providing everything works as it should.

here's a "how-to" for posting pics...this can help us get a better idea of it's condition too...

I thought it sounded like a pretty good deal considering the list of mods.

I've seen this one on craigslist....I think $1500 is fair, but I'd still offer him $1200 or $1300 to start, and see what he says.
You'd be looking at roughly $600 to get the suspension done if you sent it out to be done...or you could cut that cost in half if you can do it yourself...and roughly $90 for a rear tire.
I'd buy it...but again...make sure everything works as it should first.
