It runs pretty good, needs some good TLC. Gave $500 for it. Not a bad deal overall. I gave up the sport bike scene a few years ago, now I'm just looking for some causal buzzing around town. I'm glad I found this site...the electrical work looks a bit shady. I'm sure I'll have plenty of questions!
I don't really know, it's just electrical tape. It'll most likely come off before I get it back on the street, unless there's some sort of nostalgic significance involved.
