So my older son is looking for a bike. He spotted this one with 15k miles. Second owner is 60+ years old, doesn’t ride anymore.
What do you see, good or bad?

How much and he was in a good bear with him to the detent spring!
 
I will ask about the detent spring. Bet you're right about the slip ons, which means I need to ask about decat, filter and tune. Below is what a stock 08 looks like.
Thanks! Exactly why I posted this. Anybody see anything else?

I spotted a unicorn on the left side :thumbsup:
LMAO!!
That’s the younger son. No idea what to do with him, and no idea what that unicorn thing is about, but he is consistent about it, has been since he was little. This one is big brother, he’s got the fever, looks like we are going to have our own little motorcycle gang. Looking forward to a lot of quality family time on the bikes.

Not sure if you got what I was hinting at, but anyone who has looked for that oil tank embellisher knows how hard they are to find.

08 was the first year. So the front crash bars were added and so were the driving lights!
