Critique this ‘ 08 Touring

[Kevin frazier]

Has the key switch been relocated?

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.

I did not get it, thought you were referencing younger son...very good!

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?

Mike I have 45000 on my 08 touring, I thought the speedometer was bad so I bought one from penwells, mine wasn’t bad but the one I bought was from a 2011 w 14000 on it, I just left it on I’m never selling mine but I thought I would just mention, you’ll have to raise that tank and look at if you even care, I think they’re bulletproof anywho

I think that maybe it’s a din port with the cover broken off?

In the pictures the finish on the forks and front wheel looks good so you know it’s been kept up, was the finish still good ?

Looks tidy to me, small cosmetic thing though. The original rubber seal between the Nacell and the OEM Leather fuel tank panel should not have been refitted. Just fit Nacell onto leather and store the seal away. ()It must be the purist in me!)
