I picked up this bike last week from the 2nd owner who had torn the bike down to restore.  Not sure he had ever restored a bike before as he did not baggie or label anything.  He purchased about $3,000.00 worth of new honda parts still in their respective bags and a couple aftermarket parts (not sure how many are correct for this bike).  From the info I have, this bike seems to have been purchased new by a member here (Kleis), or maybe he's not a member but is listed in the vin directory.   I have no clue what I will do with this bike until I take a full inventory and find out whats missing.  From what i have heard the engine failed early on and Honda replaced it with a factory non vinned sandcast engine. Most of the high dollar parts seem to be there but there are some questions.  

1. The pipes are none stamped but one is different then the other three.  Someone mentioned on facebook that the three are Lotus root???
2. The tank although it looks like its a wrinkle has been cut open from the bottom and re welded.  Doesnt seem like a good thing
3. Does the non vin engine lessen the value of the bike?
4. The engine is locked up but the transmission shifts through all the gears well.  I would imagine after 89k it needs re built.

Thats for starters guys, Ill let you look at the pictures and see what you have to say.  Thanks again for adding me to the group!!
