Those pics look like an auction bike(ID# taped onto the top of the gas tank),which your friend may have bought back from the insurance company after they totaled it?
Phenoseal or PL400 will fix that right up :lmaoCaulk will fix it
I noticed that earlier,but it's hard to tell(for me anyways)if it's part of the wire harness or if it really is a cracked weld. I would think his friend would have saw a huge cracked weld and immediately realized the bike is destroyed beyond repair?That won't buff out
