[QUOTE="Jcol, post: 148851, member: 1217"] Thanks for the comments. The person I bought the bike from is the second owner and was very good about telling me everything about the bike. He owned it since 2001 and has kept complete service records so I'm not to worried about these small issues. I'm sure the bike is an SE as it has the foot warmer ducts and two tone paint which I believe is another sign that it's and SE. Here's a picture. [ATTACH type="full" alt="20150503_130404.jpg"]11321._xfImport[/ATTACH] I sorted out the storage compartment. It had been sealed shut with a bead of silicon caulk. The hinge is broken. It looks like an easy fix so I will address that. As for the rear speakers - they are no where to be found and I have no fader control on the radio. Perhaps the first owner had an issue with the original radio and replaced it with a two speaker unit.
