-1] Look at the header pipes, what condition are they? This item is often impossible [or VERY Expensive] to replace or find in original condition. . .look for rust, pitting, dents and gouges from rocks, bottoming out etc.
- 2] Emblems/Badges are often damaged when the bike is tipped over by inexeperienced riders. Check the edge of the emblem for damage.
- 3] The Grab Bar around the back of the seat has often been taken off and discarded in favor of a sissy bar or some other accessory, and are a difficult item to obtain.
- 4] Aluminum, like most other metals will deteriorate over time when left to the elements. Pits and discoloration will form in/on the aluminum when not maintained
and is costly to remove.
