Selling the last of my Katana's and all spares

[H4rri]

All,

It's a sad day but I think it's time to sell the last of my Katana's and all the spares I have built up over the years (multiple swing arms, wheels and headlights etc).

The question is do I break it and end up with odd bits left or do I sell it all as a job lot ??

I have loads of new spares too like a Hagon monoshock, DID X ring chain & sprocket, ignition with keys, spark plug caps, bolts, the list goes on.

Hell I even have a full set of 0.5 size oversize pistons and a set of 1 size over ...

Thoughts?

if you have a complete bike why would you even _want_ to break it? pretty sure it wouldn't be an issue to sell complete. regarding the spares... .why not list what you have along with it's condition and gauge the interest to see who needs what?

[H4rri]

Because although it's complete in terms of "it's all there" it's not in bike form.

The engine has been stripped for a complete rebuild and it's all in boxes, the swinger and shock are in the frame but everything else in also in boxes

[sparki]

arh... you didn't mention that it was in boxes

you also mention "shock" in the singular so presume you are talking about a pop-up then? more details/pics needed i recon along with what you are needing from it?

[H4rri]

Sorry yes I'm not being very specific, it's a painful experience

I will grab some pictures tonight but it's a SE3 that was destined to be reborn as an SE4 (was even going to get the decals done as number 201). I'll let the pictures do the talking later but the frame has been coated silver, the correct paint has been purchased along with a number of new parts listed earlier.

Not sure on what it's worth to be honest, advise would be appreciated on that too

I dont envy your situation, but if needs must .

If you do decide to break it, can i have first dibs on the rear shock, pop up control unit please. If you have got a 4-2 exhaust you can quote me a price for that too.

Managed to grab a few pictures this weekend:

The list of spares includes a set of new oversize forged Wiseco pistons and rings, set of new oversize original Suzuki pistons (no rings). Should be a full gasket set. The Wiseco's come with an uprated head gasket.

Front and rear brake pads, DID X ring chain and sprocket, front braided lines, sparks and caps, new ignition and key, fork seals and caps.

Second light unit with controller, second light frame, second swingarm, aftermarket stainless 4 into 2 exhaust (painted black - badly).

The list goes on, the engine is currently split


What do people think is a suitable value? I am just looking to empty the garage of all the Katana spares so anything I find is going in the pile. I have multiples of some things like clock cover, numberplate light [rare part], swingarm, headlights etc.

Well I've had and accepted an offer on the Katana and all spares so come Thursday my garage will be devoid of anything Kat related

It's the end of an era

...and I look forward to seeing you on Thursday evening Steve.

Anyone following my thread in Wanted, this purchase does not mean that I am not interested in buying a Kat that is on the road or closer to road ready!!!

Thanks, Jason
