if you could pick it up for 1200 or less, you could swap out the frame, repair the fairings, an part out the rest an shouldn't be out but just a few hundred.

well at mmi the vins were removed on our gs's basically meaning it is never to be on the road again. as well as every other road worthy machine was done the same way it very well could be legit

someone should just give the dealer a quick ring, give them the link. get them to tell you if its legit purchased and check out the details of why its tags wer cut.

If I cared enough, I would. However, I figure that if a dealer (and with the mileage, it almost certainly would have to be) had their GS stolen, and it's on ebay, and they're too stupid to find it....

Just to put this to bed....

The listing has been edited with a more complete story.

It seems it was damaged in the crate and Suz required the VIN tag to scrap it.

I have a friend that works at the BMW assembly plant in Greer, SC. He says that when they assign a VIN - an early part of the process - they do all they can to not scrap a car.

It can happen though. The lister explains the glue on the plastic - a bad way to repair it BTW - as his attempt at repair.

Personally, I think scrapping a bike for a bad fairing is crazy, but I guess that's Suzuki's call.  Too bad I don't have any money or I'd be all over that after checking up on it.

Hey everyone,
Here is the lowdown I have a 93 GS and I am trying to figure out if I can/should get a 06 and swap it over so I have a 93 frame w/ everything else. I got this idea from another thread on the board from an ebay auction thats ending at 4 PM. What do y'all think???

THANKS!

You could, but it would take some welding, as many mounting points are different.

It'd be a lot easier if you could get your hands on a titled, straight 04+ frame

Thanks for the quick response thats what I needed to know.
