Good eye. I noticed the change in color shading between the center frame cover and the rear swing arm but now that you point it out I can see that color change real clearly on the back half of the body work. Looks like something going on right at the front of the front fender as well, kind of splotchy looking. The right side mirror is missing and the other one is definitely after market.

Been reading some on line articles about checking out used motorcycles in general, smithrjd gave me some good mechanical advice on the other trail bike thread and I've read the owner's manual front to back. Got a two page checklist of things to look at when I get there.

Still keeping an open mind but will definitely approach this with a critical eye.


Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery.
Hit the target, all else is twaddle!
