looks like a great start to me, as long as its straight.. its a good foundation to do w/ whatever you wanted

Hey thanks for your imput on this. Yea that is what I was thinkinga and espically I like the pirce. In one pick if you look at how the grab is mounted and look at the frame and tell me what you think there. But overall I think this R is real clean I know 2 things about 2 area one the frame that have been fixed on which seem to be the worst of it.

besides the rear exhaust mount and subframe it looks decent, and the sub could maybe be fixed, or is it the grab bar?:confused: Does it have a title?

[charlie99]

Sent you a pm. Yea on the sub that is what I thought. As for title no he said he had it for a year and just got a bill of sale for it.

If your state dont require titles your probably good to go there, a bent sub isnt near as bad as a bent front end, just be sure you check it out, welds aren't that big of a deal,,, but if it dont track straight... that can be a bigger prob. It all depends on what you want to work w/

[charlie99]

No are state don't require titles. It is just nice to have one sometimes. Have owned a 400EX with no title before. I am going to call the guy agian this evening to talk about how it tracks and any other repaired areas.

looks to be a great start, lots of potential. Its nice to have fresh paint on the frame, the silver arms and swinger look alot better than the oldschool gold.

Did he say if every thing is p.c. or not.
Just wondering how he had the front A-arms powderd without hurting the bottom balljoint?

anyways, not a bad place to start at all!!
