I bought my Talon from a guy that wrecked it after owning it for just 6 months with 300 miles on it, anybody else done this?

I ended up being into this about 13,000.00, came with HMF full exhaust, Hess tune on epairsea Dynojet, Fuel beadlocks with 30"rubber and some other stuff. It runs great, I couldn't find anything at the dealers so I went this way, Pretty labor intense doing repairs but i just retired so it was all good.

Nice Kala, I think you got a good deal and a good project. If the last pic was the finish it looks sweet! How long did it take to restore?

I had to replace the upper rollcage and straighten on of the front supports, also replaced the grill. For the rest of the front end parts I used a heat gun and got them as good as I could. I probably have forty hours into it including installing the street legal kit. The last Picture it is finished and up on the Olympic peninsula above Hoods Canal where I will do the majority of my riding.

I also like your rims! They appear the same as mine and are not real beadlocks. Just look like they are. Bead locks leak a lot so better if they aren’t.

Nice Job. Can I ask why go back with a stock cage?
