What was the damage to my HD FXR bike?

When did I trade in my HD-FXR home?
By the time I traded it in it was full custom in a hardtail with wrap around oil bag, kick starter, magneto and a late model disk brake front end. Traded it in (got my $1500 back out of it) on a 1978 1/2 Low Rider that had been involved in a slight front end collision. Bent the tubes and egged the lower legs. Got it for $4000 in 1979.

I figured that the bike would be “all there” with bald tires, worn out chains and sprockets and who knows what wrong with the motor/tranny. Oh well, what ever the problems they were mine now!
