Here’s a few pages with various suggestions about photographing your bike for sale, pretty much in line with the suggestions so far.

Golden hour. From Golden hour photography tips - Adobe :
"What is golden hour? The last hour before sunset and the first hour after sunrise are coveted by professional photographers. Referred to as “the golden hour” or “magic hour,” these times provide the perfect light to capture stunning...
Good point. To be honest, if I were to sell a bike again and couldn't easily ride somewhere pretty, I'd probably get a big painter's drop cloth and shoot against that.
Found it on Kijiji but not on MP.
If it were me, I would retake one of your pictures after closing your garage door. When I look back at the listing for the bike I sold this year, I hate the fact the garage is open. It's not particularly messy and there's a nice car there on a lift, but it...
I don't know the market for these bikes, but this struck me as a good deal. If it's not, I'm sure someone here will correct me.

Good luck - Where's the listing?
I assume that's not a picture from your ad. Nice pictures can make a big difference. In sales you're often not just selling the object.
Both good tips!
I did try using safety wire to tie the fuel lines, but was worried they would eventually cut through. Why I didn't think of zip ties though, I will never know. I use them for everything. My favourite use for them is propping up the little threaded inserts that sit in your...
Got my lawn tractor starting with new pump. Finding proper sized hose clamps for the fuel hose I was running was a PITA. So is working on things when all you have is a gravelly driveway with lots of leaves. Probably lost a half dozen little things that day. You guys with garages, recognize...
@Scuba Steve - Bought the pump you recommended. Got back to the cottage and played around a bit.
First I connected some fuel line to the inlet of my OLD pump and stuck the other end in a cup of water. Alternated between drawing in and pushing out air to the impulse line. I could not draw...
So.... organized crime? I bet they wish.
I wonder if the RCMP has infiltrated with undercover officers wearing stupid furry helmet covers and thinking FML.
Thanks @Scuba Steve !
Interesting. The item you linked to has a gold bumpy thing pointed to by the arrow. What is that?
The OEM pump has the same thing which I assumed was some sort of branding. It didn’t look like it did anything, but now I am curious?
Pulled up a few other random fuel...
Seems like it couldn't be that hard for the cops to nail some of these guys. They would have been working their way through stop and go traffic for miles.
Or a few choice cars just open their doors and block these f**ers in until the police come.
I replaced the impulse line with new fuel line. Impulse was noticeable with finger at end of fuel lines (original and replaced) and vacuum fluctuations were about the same magnitude ~5 mm inHg/~2.5 PSI.
New pump is $75 at the dealer, which is less than the value of my time spent on this, BUT I...
The douches were in force today on Lakeshore. Traffic was already bunged up before these guys came along. Why anyone would choose to ride a bike in stop-and-go traffic instead of getting out of the city and enjoying riding in the beautiful weather is beyond me.
I had a hard time preventing...
