I hope yours is not broken but with the after market bodywork and paint job you should check it for your safety.

When I have some time this week I'll run to my friends house and take some close up pics of the steering head and some other random stuff.... give you guys a close up look instead of those generic sellers photos.

As far as i know the bike was dropped at 0mph, there is no rash or hairline cracks... just that hole where it looks like it fell on something. Who knows what happened with the original owner before the customization.....
