After my sprag failed, I made the difficult decision to part out my bike for spares.
As of tonight I received payment for my front wheel and its pushed my total over £1000
Wasnt expecting it to go this high, and still have quite a few bits left, getting a £1000 has really softened the blow of losing my bike.

Once its all gone, if anyone is interested, I will type up a list of all the prices of the parts, might be usefull as a price guide for those buying used spares.

A bit bitter sweet really, but the tot up would be interesting

It does help to soften the blow though!
Not done it too often recently, but I have always made money whenever I have decided to break anything like this.
It's one of the main reasons why people nick bikes, so must make money!

Oh Steve - think I forgot to mention I've received the discs - cheers.

Not quite sure when they arrived at work as I've been on hols for a few weeks - but a few days ago my son started a few weeks contracting at work and brought them home for me.

Hope your total goes a bit further still.
Might be worth posting up a list of the remaining bits (maybe with prices - that's up to you). It might jog a few of us into thinking of things we need or would like to pick up to keep by us - this could help you move the remaining things along.

TBH I've thought of something else myself that I might be interested in .... I'll have a think to see if there are other bits too.

good idea, I'll make a list of what I have left, I'd rather sell it on here anyway to lads who want stuff for their own bikes. Probs be early next week, I'm flat out getting my capri ready to enter in the run what ya brung drag races at the weekend.

I would be hugely interested in price list ! Still waiting for the return of my falco but every week delayed means I could be fit enough to strip it instead of selling as a complete bike (although cat b damaged). Some obscure parts on ebay from breakers are going for silly money. I dont want to price them to keep them, if you know what I mean, but still would like make something back.

in the next few days I 'll type up a list of what I sold/prices, then everytime I sell something, I'll just update it, prices vary massively too, if you bide your time I bet you could make a lot more than I did

Be interesting to see what you get. I got a grand parting out my old Fazer, but it took a year to clear, so I didn't get to enjoy a lump sum all at once.
