    So there is this bike within a couple hours of me, but is salvaged. Says it is good mechanically, but has a cracked instrument cluster, need headlights, and has a broken peg. He is asking basically blue book from a dealer price. I was thinking of offering him $1000

    What worries me is that the frame looks to be way too nice of condition to be salvaged, yet the swingarm is a darker looking color. Makes me think the frame has been repaired and repainted.

    looks like the front end has been changed to something aftermarket or just pieced together...makes me ask why no front end pics...hiding something? shows pic of the broken peg, but nothing of the front end, I'd be cautious.

    Ok, found this bike on Ebay, 08 XB12SCG with painted frame, subframe, and swing arm like the 09-10. Yellow plastics, and a gutted stock muffler.

    Talked to the guy and he agreed to $3850 shipped from NY to AZ good deal?

    That SCG would be a steal

    Right on...... When you get your hands on the bike you should go from tail to forks....
    There are a few things that are red flags to me... And quality of a build, paint means a lot...

    I was a little worried about the paint, but I feel like it is still a good deal, even if the paint is hiding any problems.

    Thanks for the input guys. The seller is even a member here.
