Well, I'd be interested in:

RHS Heel plate

Rear brake pedal
Gear lever
Front Brake lever

How many watchers did you have?

The problem is, of the 36 how many were from the ORG?

Breaking can be a hassle, FB still has quite a few bits from his SV he started breaking months ago. All the easy bits go quickly and then you are stuck with all the unsaleables.

I'm not sure how much your bike started at/reserve, but the best(A1 condition) curvy's with lowers/service history/aftermarket extras can be had for £1500 easy.

As you stripped yours down of all the goodies it must still be worth £1k on ebay. When i was looking at curvys on ebay, a year ago, even the best examples never seemed to get bids above £1200. I know this as i watched every one i saw, for a few months, to try and gauge value. The bikes are now a year older as well...so they won't go up in value!

i started at £999 with no reserve......... as i thought that was the best. as i only needed 2-3 bidders

there is one on there now at £850 with 8 bids but still not met the reserve.

i think most of the watchers were from here

after a bit of reserch, i dont think breaking it is a good idea as frames are going for £150 & engines about the same (or less).

dunno what to do now?

If its undamged and mechanically sound it must be worth a grand!

The problem with ebay is everyone is after a bargain.

Personally i would sell a sports bike on there....but other bikes dont seem to do that well. You could also end up spending £100 in fees.

Probably better to advertise locally/here for £1000-1200(ono)....should go in a reasonable time. As you said before could be worth checking what you can get PX.
