    I believe the seller considers it to have been cleaned, prior to listing.

    I'd go to $5k for it, perhaps $6k, if the seller had bothered to make it look as good as it could

    Ya see, this is exactly what this thread is about, I'd probably go to 5k for it too but this Cockholster wants twice that.

    Expecting to get a (the ??) return of the money spent ... when you rebuild or "improve" (then sell) a motorcycle.

    The question of the "value" of such work to a prospective buyer needs to be asked. Best done prior to the work being done. But (in my opinion) not doing the work with the intention of selling it ... to get a better sale price ...

    I was in the UK last year and looked at a few classic do ups. You could get bikes and cars, that have had $20-$30k spent on them and are 90% complete, for under $10k (<£5k). You do it for the love, not the money and you only sell, because you will lose the love of your life, if you don't.

    Such project for a return are doomed to fail

    The fairings this guy has though... wtf was he thinking? Remove all the fairing, slap on a bobber seat on it, some low drag handlebars, some better pipes and it'll look 1000x better. (or just leave it stock)
    Oh, and give it a wash as others have said.

    I love how he mentions "matching numbers" after listing all the mods to it. I think someone doesn't understand the concept
