wow man that was one hell of a reply. thanks a lot i really appreciate the input. yea seems like the guy knew what he was doing. turns out this bike was stolen so it has a salvage title. maybe he got it for cheap so he rebuilt it. im definitely going to be doing more riding around town but i would love to ride it up north or down south along the west coast one of these days. i just want to make sure that this thing isn't going to die on me or if all the work he did to it made3 the bike worse somehow because it might not have been done properly.but the guy has all the servicing paperwork and got me in touch with the shop that did all the work on the bike as well as the receipts from al bakers xr's only. i figure at worse i would be saving tons of money on the extra he put on the bike alone because if i bought a newer one i would most definitely add these extras.

i couldnt pass up the deal and i had to outbid a guy and pay an extra $400 on top of what he wanted in the first place because e was going to sell it to someone else. luckily CASH IS KING heheh.

im 6'1" 190lb and i think i might try out the lowering kit but with the corbin seat it almost looked like there was too much toward angle towards the tank on the seat. and with the shortening of the fork makes me a bit nervous but we'll see how it goes.
