Thinking of buying another - Q on selling prices for farkles

[GT Guy]

I'm toying with the idea of another "R" since my GT blocks a lot of wind and I live in the humidity capitol of the world (or so it seems when you've got ATGATT). Found one with BMW side bags and a smallish fairing and windshield by Parabellum. I don't need the bags as I'll take the GT for any 2-up trips, and I don't want the fairing and w/s as I want a naked bike.

They both appear to be in excellent shape. Deciding to buy the bike will depend largely on how much I can get back for these bits.

Any comments on how much I can reasonably expect to sell these for? Bags would include the mounting bars of course. Mini-fairing is black.

Thanks!

Not sure what you could sell the fairing and w/s for. There are a few folks out there looking for screens for this bike. If it's a touring screen, then you already have one interested buyer on BMW MOA (look under the market section) - guy in NY who wants one before the BMW MOA rally this July. There are also a few folks who contacted me about my touring screen, which I already sold to a guy in CA, so I could put you in touch with them.

As for the bags, again, 2 folks on BMW MOA are looking for bags and rails/attachment set up for an 03 and an 04 R1150R.

Again, not much help with pricing, but be assured that others out there are looking for these items. For pricing, a rough guide would be to check Beemerboneyard and see what they charge (or have charged) for similar items.

Hey GT guy-
I've seen bags go in the 3-400 range, touring screens 100 or so.

I've got an interest in the side racks if you do decide to sell. My budget is in the $75.00 range which is where they're usually priced when they come up for sale here.

Hope this helps.

I think you're right. If he puts them up on the "For Sale" forum here at 3-400 he'll probably sell them the first day.

Thanks guys for the feedback. $3-400'ish is what I thought they may go for. The w/s is a smaller market, so I don't have great hopes for that selling quickly.

As for the rails, I'm not sure if these bikes came with rails or not (I guess not). My last R had rails but no bags, but the seller may have sold them before I got there, who knows?

And my MOA membership has lapsed, not sure if I can still get into the forum.

BUT, negotiations continue on the bike, so we'll see if it was meant to be.

Any more comments and suggestions are, of course, very welcome!

Not sure if it's kosher, but if you buy the bike, I would be happy to put the three folks I know about who are seeking a w/s in touch with you. Like I'd mentioned, two were from this site and one was from BMW MOA. I don't think that they'd mind considering that they were the ones looking for a touring screen.
It strikes me that you have the right attitude. If it works out, then it works out. If not, then... you're left with only one very nice bike.

Update: I'm not going to be buying the bike afterall.

Thanks again to all comments and my apologies to any one hoping to buy some of this stuff.
