My buddy Troy shot me a message about this bike, and it turned out much better than I expected. It had badly oxidized panels that have been repainted at some point, but is really clean. It had just a hair over 14,000 miles on it when I picked it up for the super low price of $1200.
Here are the modifications done:

Current plans are fairly simply things, mostly planning to lengthen the life of the bike, and set it up as a dirt road capable mid-range tourer. I have no delusions that I will ride it far offroad, but being able to take it down dirt or gravel roads when I stumble across them is always nice.
Potential Future Mods:
IMS 6.6 Gallon Tank
KF250F Rear Fender and LED Taillight
Tuff Lites LED Turn Signals
Britannia Composites Phoenix Fairing
Ricor Intiminators
Some sort of upgraded rear shock (rebuilt stock, new spring/Ricor/Progressive/Cogent)
Heated grips
Euro Light Switch
Eagle Mike Fork Brace
Upgraded front brake disc and caliper
