Marks (now solo) M1100 (mis) adventures!

[Charlie98]

No clanging, no banging, no leaking... what's not to like!!!   

[Mhanis]

I am back on the road! The dealership went through it and correctly routed some wiring, buttoned it up and I took it for a spin last evening. I put it through the paces for about 80 miles and all seems well!

I couldn't be happier, thanks to everyone here for the help! 

Off to MotoGp this weekend!

Good deal, Mark!  I'm glad it lives!!!

So I've put most of 1,000 miles on it since the resurrection and it is just fine! the only difference I can feel is in the gearbox, this one feels a bit more crisp. Otherwise I would be any the wiser if I didn't know.

Quick followup question; I have a guy that is possibly interested in buying my old motor, with full knowledge of it's issues: what is a ballpark figure of that it is worth? $200, $500, $50? Any input there?

Or just be happy someone is willing to take it out of my garage?

Mark...

What's he going to do with the old motor?  Part it, fix it, polish it and put it in the entryway?

BTW... you will need to change your signature... your 1100 miles are, again, climbing!   

[Mhanis]

Good call on the signature, I forgot about that!'

He is a motorcycle mechanic, dunno what his plans are.

It's worth half of what it would sell for repaired. Couldn't find a comparable on ebay.

That give me an idea, thanks Painter!

Guessing (!!!) 2,500 - 3,000 (-3,5000) from a well known Ducati specilist shop. Completely overhauled, blueprinted. If he's not, 500-1,000 less. Maybe. I'm just thinking out loud. He should calculate 15-20 hours labour. Parts. He will only make a profit if he gets it for less than 1,000. Maybe/probably....

[ducpainter]

FTR...I wasn't thinking of him completely overhauling, blueprinting, or porting. In it's current condition it isn't worth half of that number.

I was thinking he'd fix the sprag, shim the trans shaft, maybe rings, and flip it.

This is more in line with what I was thinking too. I'll let ya's know if we come to an agreement and what his thoughts are.

Oh, and FTR; I had to Google what "FTR" stood for..........
