continue the Full Service History?
Hey all,
Bit of advice needed please. I bought my K8 with 7500 miles on it. It had FSH and all the stamps, receipts, etc. It's now coming up to 10000 miles, but in the meantime, I've stripped it right down and thrown all my spare race bits on it. It's got new forks and internals, exhaust, brake hoses, discs, pads, fluid, rearsets, race shock, QA throttle and venhill cables, new plugs, new oil and filter, new air filter, new chain and sprockets, etc. etc. and I made sure everything was properly regreased when I did it. I'm planning on keeping it for a few years at least, and it'll probably become my wet bike when I can afford to go racing again. Should I carry on the FSH and take it to a garage so they can do pretty much what I've already done just for the sake of resale value? Opinions? Cheers, Dave

Re: continue the Full Service History?
I wouldnt.I would keep the reciepts for the service items I buy and write what I do in the service book.Any future difference in value should be negligable if the bike remains in good condition.

What's point... fact you have race bits and knowledge will do as much for it.
