You've put a lot into that bike Notty, it's such a shame you have to sell it.  I've no idea on prices over there, but, you're right, the forks & engine covers need sorting. My advice would be to get those done then put her up. An immaculate looking bike is always going to get a better price. Guess it depends on how much the fix costs vs the increase in sale price.

Best of luck with it whichever way you go with it.  Def need pics of proposed new bike too. :cheers:

Been thinkin the same but even wife said you're not selling ,stick it in the garage till next Summer and then see ?

@Notty that 4-5k pricing would definitely be closer to the 5 in my opinion. The bike is immaculate from the pics I'd not bother doing anything more to it. Anyone who questions this bike in its current condition doesn't deserve to own one.
Good luck with the sale.
Have you given all the hidden and stowed away parts back to your partner in crime @Froudy ?

There's always room in the world for a bit more tolerance and kindness.

It's a nice example of the 1400, some of the add ons may not be to everyone's taste, but they're always subjective.  Some minor cosmetic issues, but nothing to worry about.  Agree with Chris, anyone that questions those minor issues doesn't deserve one.

I don't know what the current market pricing for these in the UK are, but around the £5k seems ok ($9400 AUD), especially if you're including all the spare bits and pieces.

At that pricing, its at or near the price range here in Oz,based on listed (not sold) values.
I try to take one day at a time, however sometimes several days catch up with me at once.

It's an interesting one Geoff, I'd maybe invest in sorting the casings and sliders, as that could put others off / give them negotiation points. Maybe take off both the clutch and timing casings and get them re-powder coated (Seth may have some you can swap with) and perhaps sand down and lightly polish or spray the sliders. After that I'd put up at about £5,250 Ono and see how it goes (and don't forget in your list the Pazzo levers..........)
Nothing to do.............all day to do it....I love retirement :lol:

Remember Spizzoil?   He's over there somewhere, Lincoln I think it were, haven't seen him on here for ages, but he polished stuff, like everything and made an excellent job of it.   Maybe you could see if he's interested in doing your forks & cases Notty?

not going too well selling the 14 - guess my tastes on mods not very popular ! 540 views and no bids - reduced to trade price = £3800 so going to webuyanyshite.com

That's so sad mate.  :confused1:

I know, you can send her up norf to Hooli, he can get it knicked & you claim insurance!  Or just hang onto it for a while, park her up at Froudys & go visit with a polishing rag now & again till she gets a decent price.  I wouldn't give it away for 3800

Obviously you just want it gone Notty. Maybe a 14 owner nearby wants some upgrades, Brembos, levers, shocks, campbells,tyres, he comes and swaps over bits, pays you cash, you still get the low offer for bike.If I lived close I'd be at your heels for the Brembos😎

Mods are always a personal thing IMO.

Any chance you still have the necessary parts to put her back to pretty much standard Geoff? She might sell easier then and you can then sell on the extras you have removed
