Someone, maybe a member, is parting out a 2011 TE630 on Ebay, in case someone wants wheels, other parts. I purchased the clutch basket so that I can do the spring cup mod before taking the bike apart. Hope the basket ears are not too worn (only 6500 miles on it). I will smooth them out in the process.
I bought the handlebars and the rear brake lever/pedal from that seller. I want to try to "improve" the rear brake lever/pedal and this was an excellent and inexpensive opportunity to experiment. I bought the handlebars because they were straight, I like the bend of the stock bars and they were 1/3 the cost of protapers. I don't think it is a member parting the bike out. Based on his other auction listings, he seems to be a cycle salvage or someone who buys good bikes to part out (they are worth more as parts than as bikes).
This was my idea also. I had a long list of spares from his part out and tried to negotiate package deal pricing. But that was after his listings had been up for less than a day and he wasn't wiggling much on price so I ended up buying only the seat and battery. I will do a custom Seat Concepts but want to retain my stock seat also for single track. Been looking for a used seat pan for two years without success so wasn't letting that one slip by. Seat was perfect also so will have a spare cover for my stocker if I ever shred it up. _
My used clutch basket arrived yesterday and I hope the one in my bike looks as good! No noticeable wear on the spring cups and only slight marks on the basket fingers. I may take a stroke or two with a fine file on the edges but that's all. I will still take it apart and install the improved spring cups. The seller said that the donor bike had 6500 miles.
