Let me get this straight: your WIFE talked you into a motorcycle??? She must either have a rich boyfriend and just wants to keep you happy, or she's the type who would say in all sincerity "gee, that Pamela Anderson really has a cute body, don't you think?" If I had even mentioned a motorcycle to the former wife, she would have had me committed to the local asylum.

You can hit yourself medium hard. You didn't mention how many miles were on the car, but it sounds clean. A glovebox door is fairly easy to find, and the duct tape mastic should clean up with WD-40 or Fantastic. I think for $2000 you would have had yourself a real good deal. An exhaust system from the cat back is under $150 and the flame trap parts are about $5 from fcpgroton. By 'even' compression your mechanic means that there is little cylinder-to-cylinder variation, a good sign.
