[QUOTE="graler, post: 1406312, member: 23510"] Let say hypothetically that you found an FJR in a storage state. It has a clean title so we know the year, VIN . The current holder clearly states he doesn't know whats wrong with it, it has been sitting in that state for a couple of years and it is sold as is. I have seen pictures and there doesn't appear to be any damage from a crash. It is clear from the pics that the tank has been lifted and who ever did the lifting did not bother to put all the plastics back in place but you can see the plastics in the photo. The throttle housing is also open and the throttle cable is disconnected - you can see that clearly. There appears to be some kind of throttle lock installed. The bags are there and everything is very dusty. Would you take on the project if you were able to pick this bike up for a couple thousand? By the way it is an '08 AE version. If it is truly trash. The bags are probably the most valuable component and the seats (at least driver seat for a new build). It has OEM heated grips so that is something else that would sell stand alone. Thoughts? My goal would be to take it on as a hobby. If I get it running then title it and put it up for sale. After I put some miles on it since it is an AE version and that is something different.
