see if it has an oil relocation kit, look at the battery, they are pretty much the same from the early 2000;s through the 07's. Look for meat on the front pads as they wear a little quick. If it has floor boards check to make sure they are not damaged or cracked underneath. Some people try to modify the front light bar and put the passing lights on the stock bar, make sure the front turn light bar is not cracked..

Usual stuff like tires are good, brakes, fluids, runs and idle's good. Check the pipes for discoloration as this bike may need a jet kit if one was not installed properly or installed at all witth the aftermarket pipes...

All i can think of right now hope this helps!
