Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Salvage Title?

Usually an insurance company or wrecking yard/tow co. apply for salvage title of an abandoned vehicle.  It could be stolen, as well, and he won't neccessarily find out.  It should be a lot less if he got a salvage title, if you ask me.  It sounds wrong and I wouldn't pllunk down my money witho

[Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Salvage Title?

Salvage title usually means a bike has been wrecked and written off by an insurance company as totalled, meaning it would cost the company more to fix it than it's worth. But if the damage is fixable, it's not uncommon for an owner to buy the wreck from his insurance company, repair it himself wit

Well he came clean with me, sort of. He did not know about the front fender, it was given to him like that. The reason the color is wrong is because he repainted the bike. He said the original paint was not up to his standard so he repainted it. He used a photo of a blue '93 as a guide. The VI

I wouldn't pay more than 1k for a rebuilt wreck. If someone put a different bikes forks on it the geometry is probably wrong and it's handling will not be right. Also the guy has obviously been lying to you, who knows what the potential ills would be. Also paint jobs usually mean that the bike was
