Welcome. Curious to see the progress. Congrats to him. Sometimes there's nothing like fixing it yourself

Welcome to the Forum. Pics of this 06. Must have been mistreated to need fixing at that age.

we are in San Antonio TX - I'm really not sure what the previous owner did with it...title shows he just paid it off in Aug but it looks like its been sitting for longer.
It doesn't have the air box at all, runs but not much over that, chain has some rust but amazingly the paint looks good. some lessons are expensive to learn but when the bike bug bites you....
anyone have an extra air box they want to get rid of ??

Sound like the seller might have had an aftermarket air cleaner on, and wanted to keep it, (maybe). You can get aftermarket setups on ebay for very little, and even though i haven't priced them, i can't imagine the oem stuff would be much more. Welcome!
