Any interest in a heavily modified concours?

Thinking about selling the CONCtraption. This is only because I have been covering my mother and sister's medical costs and I they just keep getting bigger and bigger.

I will not be putting a price on her, so feel free to make me a serious offer. If I don't answer it's because you lowballed me and I am ignoring you.

This bike has over $11,000 worth of upgrades, I put prices next to the upgrades so you can better appreciate the expense it would cost you to duplicate this. I know I am forgetting some of the upgrades but here are the ones I have jotted down.


This concours is FAR from stock.

The bike is somewhere between very good to excellent condition, I
would say a 9 out of 10

It has about 30k miles on it at the moment

Recent Maintenance
Valve adjustment
Carb adjustment
Carb sync
Mixture adjustment
plugs replaced

Metzler ME 880 touring tires have a couple thousand miles on them, so
you should be good for another 12k miles EDIT: tires replaces about 500 miles ago

If you count up all the [major] upgrades thats around $11,000 alone not including all the little things here and there.

 
Eddie, you were very efficient at listing prices. But did you ever list the actual asking price for the bike?  ;)
 
If you really wanna sell it, better off parting out all the goodies.  Noones (that I know) would spend that much on a pregen (It is a pregen right?)  Nother guy on the other forum has a custom C10 with an R1 fairing on it and a lot of goodies.  But anyway Good luck with sale if you do decide to sell it.  Also hope your mother and sister get better.

Hi Bob, that gets answered in the second sentence. Put down that diet beer.

Oh, Color in the Catskills at the end of the month not far from ya at Hunter MT. Interested? We can get the concours to the top of the mountain, might need a hand or two to push but I think we can manage.
 
For me, the links were busted.

Eddie - if you want to get even 1/2 the money you have in the bike, you will absolutely need to sell off the farkles separately and then sell the stock bike. I'm in a similar situation, and IF i were to sell shoodaben, that's the only way I would be able to recover even a fraction of what's in it.

  The only other way is to raffle it off intact.

BTW, you said it was heavily farkled? seems to me like you're just getting started  :-\  >:D steve

That would be a lot of raffle tickets.

Who wants to buy a raffle ticket? Only $7500  ;D
