Agreed. I believe it could have been backed into on the right side, the sidestand mount cracked the casting, the insurance totaled it (reported it as salvaged to the state), He got a check, and kept the bike for a small fee.
Now here's the thing that concerns me - if it's really a simple weld, why wouldn't he have it done and then get the rebuilt title, and sell it for a decent price? Even then it would only be worth about 3K to me at most..
But the cynic in me sees:

(mechanically it is perfect, starts, idles, and runs fine, and is in drivable condition).

And I wonder if it rides fine? When the front fender was cracked, were the forks stisted and it doesn't ride fine?
Either way, this guy has no idea that the bike isn't worth anywhere near what he wants, and I hope that he doesn't find someone that gullible.
