Used Sportster
I am going to look at a used sportster this weekend and was wondering what you would look for when buying a used bike. It's a 2011 and has an exhaust intake power commander and Dyno done by HD. It also has forward controls added. I'm trying to get check list going so I don't miss something obvious.

look at tires and the amount of wear. Under motor for any oil leaks that are hidden from view. pull a plug to see what it looks like. Run a car fax to make sure it is clean. look at the drive belt make sure it does not have excessive wear. can think of other stuff off the top of my head but im sure i missed a few.
