Nothing obvious wrong with it. I bought my '08 on eBay late last year for $4500.

For some reason someones reversed the forks and guard so that the brake caliper is to the front.
Check the brake hose and the hose guide on the front guard.
Also, it doesn't seem to have a clutch cable fitted.

+1 .. swapped the front brake around (why?) and there's no clutch cable. IMO, looks like a jack-leg has been working on it.

Agreed. I can't hold a candle to most of the guys on this site, but I can see that plain as day. I feel sorry for the guys bidding it up. No telling if there may be other surprises.

Other stuff kinda goes with the little sissy bar and back pad...looks like a Honda mechanic got his hands on it....maybe there's a clutch lever styled like a suicide shifter on the LH side we can't see...????

Brake assembly and no clutch cable was what I spotted, also.

Wouldn't touch it with a barge pole. If someone's so dumb as to put the forks and caliper on the wrong side, what else have they 'fixed'?

 

[Savantjk]

So it does have a clutch cable at least.

That is just wrong and I am sure dangerous. Someone already asked him the question about the Forks and Disk and he still says it's right. I just sent him another question asking if he found some kinda of brake upgrade by mounting it wrong.

Edit : Just saw this :

Thank you ebayer for pointing out my rookie mistake. I have changed the forks so that the brake rotor is on the left side.
