C'mon, you know you want it.  The Big Bear front end is worth that.

Another one that makes me wonder why the seller doesn't go through the effort of getting a title for it if it had a "clean VIN"...

I've always wanted a Triumph hard tail... but I want a bobber, not a chopper. But I could turn this into the bike I want in one weekend. 
 

I'd lose the long springer front, tank and seat.
 

I'd go with a normal disc brake front, no fender, low (or flat) bars, fat bob tanks and a brown leather solo springer seat. 
 

Straight piped vintage Triumphs sound way better than straight piped Harleys.

Sketchy as frig to ride and a turning radius so big that it should have coast guard numbers.

You could probably put the engine in a real motorcycle and sell teh rest to cover your costs.

I had a Hardly Ableson version of this as a 16 year old - it was the most fun I ever had riding, also the sketchiest, scariest time....laugh
