drove 300 miles all in to see a bike that was crap.....it appears that excellent condition to some people includes crash damage.
Didnt think it would prove so difficult to pick up a descent storm.....

More likley it's black with red bits poking through, he would have had to pay double that for a yellow one

Well done mate, sounds like a good buy. Have you picked it up or is that to come? Has it had all the bit's fixed, CCT's, RR etc?

CCt's hes unsure of, so thats the first job
R/R as above...
I think with this being such an issue i'm wondering why honda never done a recall...esp on CCt's
Hopefully i'll have it next week and i'll get some pics up.
the bike has a full service history to 16kmiles, so would honda have changed the cct's at any service point do you think...

The CCT issue re a recall has been discussed on numerous occasons mate and you can find the results by searching through previous posts, however suffice to say they didn't so you will need to get it sorted one way or another. Either stopper mod (there you go Al, saved you a post!) or fit manuals.
Good luck with the bike mate

Just spoke to seller, the bike already has manual CCT's........cool. This would be an indication to me that the bike has been looked after i'd say?

It's under the right side under seat panel. If it has a finned body it's a later one or from a different model. If it is unfinned it will be an early one and best changed.
