    Help me put a value on my 85 GS700E

    Hello all. I've been on this forum for a while now and have tried many times to get my GS700E running. Unfortunately, it is time to let it go. I just can't get the bike to start reliably so it's just been sitting for year after year. My last attempt to get it working correctly involved: taking apart the carbs and rebuilding with new o rings, new chain, new K&N pods, new OE carb boots and boot o rings, as well as setting valve clearances again. Still the bike would not start up reliably. It would crank and crank until the battery dies. When the bike has started, it runs great with no issues but the starting issues bore me. I've grown tired of it and am deciding to sell it now. I need some advice to price my bike accordingly. Any advice would be great. Thanks

      Not really sure with all of the mods done to it. It needs a specific type of buyer so it's a bit of a tough call.
      It would be of little value to someone looking for a stock / original bike. Personally I think it's a tasteful restomod, a style that I like. Starting issues will cause the price to take a hit, and it would be worthwile to resolve it before putting up for sale.

              Holy hel!, you got plenty of brakes.

              Do you have spark when it won't start?

              Did you make sure the choke passages in the carbs are open? Did you install a Dynojet kit?

                      ok I am in process of tearing the carbs apart again and putting in new O rings. Suppose that I get it running. What would you guys value it at
