I purchased this bike in 2011 with 12,773 miles as a salvage bike with very little damage. When I bought it, I've enclosed photos (Last 3 pics) of the bikes condition. This is exactly what I did to obtain the bike back on the road: Straightened and bonded the upper engine guard mounting tab, REPLACED: front fender, engine guard, external front fairing, RH saddle bag w/2008 cover & & repaired touring pack to the best of my abilities, painted the inner lower fairings ... I've put 21,000 miles on this bike without any issues ... Rides and runs fantastic.
