Hey guys. I'm thinking about picking up a subframe, tail light, and a tail plastic from a guy about 80 miles away (one way) for $180. The price seems good. But how do I know if the subframe is straight or if anything is wrong with it? He sent me some info and some pictures. This is what he told me:
2003 Honda CBR F4i parts. No accident.
Slit seat subframe is straight. The subframe is black, as all were 2001-2003. It has the seat lock mechanism w/ cable still on it. Very good condition.
The tail-cowl is factory Honda, not aftermarket. All tabs/holes are intact, no cracks. It has a circular cutout on each side in the rear where turn signals were but could easily be covered w/ fiberglass/vinyl/etc. Its spray painted black but most are going to repaint anyway. I'm not really asking much for this...most is for the subframe.
I'm basically throwing in the tail light for free b/c I don't need
Pardon my newbieness and enlighten me with knowledge! All feedbacks wanted!! Thanks!!

What condition/colour are yours? Red/Black is the most common, but there was a yellow/dark grey that was much more rare. Smaller market - etc
If you get that for 180... I'd guess 220. I'd not pay that much personally... and you'll probably make more splitting them up on ebay.

My rear plastics are in ok shape. It's candy red (05 banana seat).

hahaha. well i know thats not the reason cause he contacted me today!! YAY!! lol. Im gona try to pick it up tomorrow. I was told that the only way I can tell if the subframe is straight or not is when I mount it and that all the bolts should line up perfectly. Is this true? Any tips or advice?? Thanks in advance!

Any way I can tell if something is wrong with the subframe before I buy it?
