a) The back brake is fine but there is almost no stopping power on the front brake to speak of.
As simple as fluid and pads or could it be wor$e?
b) The first two-thirds of the clutch lever has zero tension (100% play in that you could flick it back and forth with your finger).
As simple as adjusting the clutch lever or could it be wor$e?
c) Can't shift into neutral while the engine's running.
Once you turn it off and roll it, it'll shift easily though.
d) The pillion seat is held on by suction cups.
Couldn't that fly off at highway speed? Is there a kit where I can drill it to the fender tastefully like on the Harleys?
e) What concerns me most is that a mechanic had run through this pre-sale and gone through everything since it had been sitting and the engine had to be revived yet a)-c) above were missed.
f) It has the TP covers but currently at 6k miles, is it a matter of "they're only good for another #k miles" or is it a matter of "they can take a dump at any point seizing your engine"?
I was thinking of replacing with these:

Not sure if that's a DIY job or something for a pro mechanic?
The good part is that the fork looks even, no smoke upon startup, fires up without much effort, smooth idle, no scratches from dropping, and has two oil coolers.
$95-$32 for my bike =$63 to trade. I told him I'd sleep on it, any input on the above is appreciated.
