When the original owner had the bike painted, the painter was too lazy to put them back on.... so the 2nd owner rode basically the last season without turn signals... i was gonna get aftermarkets anyway.

Other than checking the mechanical stuff out... I'd rip that exhaust off and paint it black... and get that other fork tube blacked out too. A little labor intensive, but if you do it yourself it'll be really, really cheap and would make that bike pop.
Yea, honestly i was planning on putting it up in my friend's garage and wrenching on it till spring. He has an 05' R6 and was planning on doing some wrench time on his. The guy i bought it from combed over the engine (plugs, filters, carbs) so its mainly gonna be cosmetic work. Yes the forks are different colors. The 1st owner had a problem with one, 2nd owner was not sure what. The thing has a clean title, so maybe he had a bent fork and just replaced it himself. I'll blacken out the fork, i think the pipe will stay silver...
