12,8xx km. Well looked after. I don't know what to tell her re: a price. I see them listed for $5-6.5K. What would be reasonable?

Neighbour asked me about selling her husband's '19 RE Interceptor
- Thread starter FullMotoJacket
- Start date
first thing that came to mind for me too
Let @TK4 swap his brake parts with that one before it leaves!
TK4 is such a nice dude he sings the songs of praises for RE, even though the rear brake on his hasn't worked in like a year.
Also, he sent a picture of himself in a speedo once.
Am I joking? Am I telling the truth? Was the speedo red? I'll never tell!

Enough about me, let's talk about the bike. What would YOU sell it for ?

BTW, rear brake is working fine again - for now. I ordered a new master cylinder, when that comes in and gets installed I can take the old one apart to see what went wrong and go hunting for the correct rebuild kit. Brembo/Bybre likes to keep that kind of stuff a secret.
The Brembo secret is a lot of the stuff is imperial size, and you can use Fiat parts
I HATE Brembo
Bevel Heaven is a Brembo dealer and can get you anything
... unless you want a rebuild kit for a 16mm master. Don't have one, don't make one, can't get one... when I ask I was told "liability issues"... more than once. More than happy to sell you a new master.
...yeah... OK... why can I buy a rebuild kit for a 13mm, 14mm, 15mm, 18mm... BUT NOT a 16? (16mm is the most popular)
The TRICK is to ASK for a 16mm clutch master rebuild kit... NO PROBLEM, how many do you want?
IT'S THE SAME PUMP.
I hate Brembo
OH... and it's NOT 16mm, it's 5/8"
I hate Brembo.

I have a box of seals that I got from my buddy the caliper rebuilder. I got seals that fit Tokico, Nissan, AP, the ol' Yamaha 2 pots, the TZ two pots, Lockheed two pots, 13mm, 14mm, 15mm, 16mm master seals... I can fix ALMOST anything I am going to find... total investment $200
How much Brembo stuff can you buy for $200? Brembo seals have a different profile than EVERYONE else.
I'm working on a Guzzi T3, that HAD linked Brembo brakes... so I had to replace the masters... it HAD a 13mm front... and it's been nothing but problems from the word go. It HAS to look period... so I am limited as to what I can do... I had a 16mm front in stock and I wanted a period rear, that looks like this.
I ain't paying $539 USD plus shipping for a rebuild.
A bit of horse trading got me a core (I traded two Lockheed calipers) that needed rebuilding.
Of COURSE there is no kits.
A lot of dickin' around and I rebuilt it... but I don't have the lever/fulcrum.
Well don't ya' know the fulcrum is particular to Moto Guzzi... and NLA.
FML... AGAIN, STILL, SOME MORE.
... so presently I am designing a Rube Goldberg machine for a right rear set on a T3. (I already have a Rube Goldberg machine as a shifter on the other side. Ever seen a shifter for a T3? The linkage goes into the back of the trans, not the side like every other bike, so it has to go around 90 degrees)
Doing this knowing I have a couple period Lockheed rear masters... which in reality is a superior part and looks a lot COOLER... BUT... you know... gotta have Brembo.

Neighbour was away for the weekend. Friend was house sitting, her husband pulled the bike out of the shed (bike sat in the bikeport then shed for winter since midsummer) and started it. This is a current pic (yesterday).
I would list it at 6300 and go from there. Maybe end up around 5600 to 5800.
