He must have been desperate for money, because he volunteered to bring it to me that same evening. I got the original bill of sale, and MCO, and there's a chance I could register it, but I am not even got to try. I guess the exhaust was probably worth about $75 used price, but unless I ever do use the tires, and possibly the motor on something, I will really never get an additional $275 worth of parts from it. Even though the cush bushings are shot in the rear rim, it seems just fine, and I am not sure the bent lip on the front rim amounts to being unsafe. But just having the rims on hand if I would ever need one is of some value. As long as the bike stays ridable, it's probably still worth the $350 that I paid.
