    I just picked up another 900rk for the stable yesterday....it was a gorgeous bike til the previous owner had to flop it quick because of a cage cutting out in front of him. I’ll bring it back to its glory shortly, though—

    beautiful, damage looks manageable, hope the pipe is not too scratched.
    How many 900's for you now?

    It is in the #10 spot, previously registered.....it was on eBay at some point. I don’t know if the guy I bought it from got it then, or from someone since then.

    Wow, very nice Dave!

    To me it looks like the majority of the damage is on the tank and fairing.
    Still run and ride OK?

    Runs beautifully, the little I rode it feels good.... there is a rattle somewhere I feel— I think it’s a stand hitting a muffler, so a bumper may be missing. I haven’t checked yet.
    I’ll start replacing damaged components shortly... just need the time.
    I have to swap:
    -Tank
    -shifter pedal
    -right hand brake lever
    - a couple signals
    -a side cover
    -both engine end covers
    I have all those.......

    I also need to do:
    -Left lower oil galley plug/bolt (think I got one)
    - both mufflers (got one, still need the other)
    -a bar end ( but can wait...barely noticeable nick)

    thats about it, iirc
