Well maintained, garage kept. Fresh oil and brake fluid. Previous owner dropped it on the left side, damage to tank, headlight and rear seat handle (see pictures). This has to be one of the best learner/commuter bikes ever made. I get 50mpg of mixed driving and is extremely comfortable to ride...

I'm trying to figure out if I am trying to fix something that just can't get any better on my 04. Currently at 6k rpms and up I am getting what I would consider unreasonably high levels or handlebar and seat vibes (I can live with the seat vibs). At 9k the stock mirrors are useless since they...
