Between the wood dash panel and that wide tail box, I bet if you got it going fast enough they would become airfoils and up she'd go!  WEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

Get that crap off, put on some real mirrors and attach the side cases and you'd have a nice daily commuter.

Keep the coffee table, drill out a cup holder, then it would be a nice commuter.

The top box reminds me of an old Coleman stove

If 18K mi. is honest (just broke in), give him $2.5K and your well on your way to an excellent Cafe platform. Just spend the $ on cosmetics and you'll have a nice bike you can ride for another 50K without wrenching.

That top box is so wide so he can carry his assault rifle.
