if u see it and are interested i would buy the lever and throw it on before i did anything! im sure the lever isnt much and it could save u a big headache! u would have to buy the lever anyway if u traded, only thing is if the other guy will let u put it on first, he a friend or just a guy? other then that i couldnt really tell u what to look for except the basics but im sure some guys on here will know, for sure!

Look for broken radiator mounts, bent rear fender brace, check the condition of the filter...give it a good look over. Check all bearings and make sure it shifts though the gears.
