If you're only keeping the bike until December, please don't do anything
irreversible to it. It'll actually be doing a favor to you, too, as highly
customized bikes sell very slowly and for less money than a more generic
custom job.

Swingarm, shock knuckle, Sabre driveshaft and rear axle/collars all arrived
yesterday, right on schedule. Got refunded on the headlight bucket,
apparently it was crushed in an accident on the way to ship stuff. Not
upset, and definitely don't think this was a scam setup like some folks
have tried.

They provide the bikes. It'll be pretty funny if they have an old

One of those bikes in clean, rideable (but not showroom) condition is worth
around $2,000. With the issues this bike has and the quickness you want to
sell it what you're asking for it is fair. At least I think so, Graham's
opinion might be worth more as he's closer to you and can't seem to help
So after about 100 miles under my belt now I'm loving it more and more. I

NADA says top value is 1845. And that's for mint. I think a near mint
(like, really gravy and sweet with low miles) is prob 16-1700.

I know that bitter/sweet feeling. But as to prices, unfortunately vehicles
aren't bought/sold in NADA. Just watching sales on CL and eBay, I've seen
mint bikes selling for $3000, They take a while to sell at that price, but
they do. The clean/rideable bikes go between $1800/$2200. This ofcourse
I. HATE. Solder joints in high vibration environments. Stupid solder joint
failed. No headlight, AGAIN. Guess it's time to start looking for a good

Until then, I'll resolder that joint, dab some liquid plastic on the whole
area to help take some strain off, and
OEMs usually just crimp without solder. Might be worth a shot.

Gibby, before buying anything put a volt meter on your battery and check the
voltage with the bike running. A good battery will measure from 12.4 to 12.65
after sitting overnight without a load on (engine not running). With the engine
running the volts should go up as high as 14.2 at about 4k
The guy at the shop showed me on one. It was under 12 at idle and would break
even at 12 with anything past 2.5k rpms but wouldn't start charging even at 4k.
Gonna test the rectifier and the stator ASAP to see if its only a problem with
one of them or both before I do anything.
