This guy is dreaming. Custom parts are not worth half what you pay for them. If he really wants that kind of $$$ he needs to part the bike down the last bolt.

A beautiful Chromo just sold this past summer for $5500 here in Seattle.
2000 Monster 900S-SOLD
1998 Supersport 900 FE -For Sale!
2000 748S - Thrillin' me daily!

As others have already mentioned, this guys prices are from another planet. Hell, I saw someone here recently (within the last few months) sell a 2001 chromo for about $3,500 with pipes. Not sure of the history/health  but it didn't look trashed and the tank was healthy. And for the record, Ducati want(s) or wanted less than $3 grand for the FI chrome tank. I highly doubt the carbed one is double that.

It does have some goodies, like Marchisini magnesium wheels and other bolt on goodies, but I'm surprised to see a stock rear shock. Who knows what's in the engine or more importantly the quality of that work.

Regardless, that bike will NEVER sell for more than 6 or 7 thousand. It's a harsh reality we live in...

I got my chromo for just over $5k a few years ago and had my heart on a chromo for years previous. I'll never sell it and could care less how much I put into it. <-- please don't mistake this for foolish waste.

Unless someone falls in love with your bike the same way you did, you'll never recoup the cost of the goodies... It's best to save the stock parts and put it back to stock (that's a hellofa mod) and sell the goodies seperate...

Just my 2 cents

I'll bet a beer it doesn't meet the reserve
