Purchased a pair of these when I thought I was getting a red bike - ended up getting a blue one:
Red Carbon Fiber Swingarm Spools Sliders 6mm Yamaha Aprilia Buell Motorcycle | eBay
Yours for shipping. Please note they only sent the smaller bolts - you'll need to...
Closing the loop - took possession of the bike today. 15 minutes with a brass brush and the corrosion was taken care of. No rust in the tank. All in all - the bike appears to be in great shape.
Thanks again for the input - really helpful to get a sanity check from folks with actual knowledge.
Super helpful, folks, thank you. My takeaway is that it's not ideal, but not unheard of. And with a purchase price about $500 to $750 below market around here it's not unreasonable.
Thanks again. Off to buy a dual headlight mod wire...
Hi, all-
I looked at a used 2008 FZ6 today, 7000 miles. Bike runs great, looks fine with one possible exception - there's a little corrosion at the headers, and a little discoloration on the chain. See pics below.
I think this is probably reasonable fair wear and tear for a five year...
