For me it's not even so much an interest in purchasing the bike, I would be if it was EFI, but moreso figuring out what's going on so the situation will be documented for future cases.

well I did email the guy and spoke to him.
I got him to send me a pic of the VIN
Yes that's a Buell vin -- but look closely at the neck --especially the top. Looks to me like the top of the triple tee is not aligned properly.
I don't see the flare at the bottom of the neck (See Eric's post from manual)
The weld from the downtube to neck is inconsistent with other K9's
His line in the sand price was 5300
Title has Buell with only 1 L, no mileage reading.
There are too many wires going into the headlight bucket, they are (per an 08 manual) the wrong color combo.
His last remarks when I told him all considered I's pass was "Lot's of interest and will be gone by end of the week.

He told me 5000, I'm sure someone could get it for that or perhaps even less

That's what I was thinking. No way I would register that bike, no way.
But to part out even at 4K it's probably worth it.

Silly question but couldn't one just register it as a Buell since the DMV will never look at the actual bike?
think about why it would be listed as a buel(l). salvage, what about the welds other than the neck? cracks! would not trust it with the possibility of shade tree welds. parts only and throw the frame away.

It's not even a parts bike really.
Total trash, even if it was titled correctly I wouldn't cough up more than $2000.
It will cost 3 to 4 grand just to get it to some form of an original Big Dog if you do the work yourself and 8-10 if a shop does it.
I guarantee there are all kinds of little goodies just waiting to jump out at the poor person that ends up with it.
