Ok I found this one day and was wondering what everyone thinks. here is what the he he wrote.
As you can see from the pictures the majority of the damage is cosmetic, about 90% The other ten percent is the hand controls, mirrors, airbox/airbox cover, windscreen and gauge cluster. I had heat tape under the seat that shielded the harness from the heat but not the smoke, the wires are still flexible with no cracking. The harness behind the flyscreen is still supple as well. The motor needs a pulse generator (crank sensor), but it was completely gone through with new pistons, spark plugs, jugs, gaskets, and oil pump. I had an oil pump go bad at 16k miles and my rear piston grenaded as a result so I had the whole engine rebuilt. It ran great for five minutes, then we wrapped it up. I was going to pick it up after it was all finished but the shop it was in was torched by either an angry customer (the dude was suuuuuuper slow) or a rival bike gang, nobody knows. The tires have less than 25 miles on them, still have the nubs on them. I have a lowered seat on it and the original in my garage. I also have another taller one piece windscreen. The luggage was on a work bench during the fire and didn’t make it…the frame for the caribou cases is still on the bike. I was going to put it back on the road but my wife is dead set against the bike now, she want’s me to just get a new scoot, and honestly I don’t think that’s such a bad idea. I was looking at all the parts and work it would take and the stuff I found on EBay and Bad Web was total under 1000. So a little elbow grease, know how and $3500 and you have a bike that you can at least trade in for more than what you have into it.
He lives 20hrs away and with the fire thing kinda worries me with the engine and frame. He said he talked to a dealership and they said if the tires didnt get hot enough to pop then everything should be good. feedback pleas. Ill try to get some pics up.
