Kuwahara KZ1 for sale

Hello all, I'm pretty new to the site having stumbled across the site and only joined up recently. I live just outside of London, UK, so thought i would say 'Hi'...
a bit about my bikes, I've owned an ET (mid model) and a KZ1 for the past 15 years or so when i saw them advertised locally i couldnt resist the thought of owning not one but two Kuwahara's and one an E.T. model which i only ever dreamed of as a kid was too much of a temptation! Alas I sold the E.T. last year to a friend, cheap, as he pestered me continually to sell it to him, then found out he had sold it on for a profit!? hmmm not impressed... having just been made redundant in this economic downturn I've decided to have a garage sale... hence the KZ1 is know up for sale... plus i need the space as im climbing over everything to get to the back of the garage!
My question is can anyone give me a realistic asking price for the KZ1 as im about to ebay it, the bike is in good original condition no dents or cracks, the chrome is fair to good, the wheels are black rim ARAYA and not the UKAI's with comp III copy tires, I have fitted a NOS Sugino chrome 3 piece crank and sealed bottom bracket and NOS Sugino power stem to the original WIN V bars, a new MX1000 (copy) caliper and lever, I have the original MX lever but this is a little tatty. The bike has a lay back seat post and Elina seat which is a little scruffy but other than that the bike is pretty much good solid original example.
Any guidance on price would be much appreciated... or if anyone is interested then please either respond to this post or email me at magoo1929@googlemail.com and I will send photos...

Thanks again guys and gals... happy riding!

Martin.

your best bet is to keep an eye on ebay. they come up fairly frequently. and since demand on collectibles goes up and down depending on how many buyers are looking there's no fair answer to that question. sorry I couldn't be more help. good news is you have a nice bike that someone will definitely buy from you. :) Do you find this valuable?
