400/4 build. Paused due to other commitments. But starting up again

Not sure they take that as part of the value! - however i was expecting a food based valuation coming in hot first...

[McCabe-Thiele (Ted)]

Would anyone be able to comment on what they think the value of it would be (for insurance purposes) theyre bound to ask..!

When I insured my 400 with Peter James iirc they had a threshold for values  - the first threshold (was £6k) you only needed to provide some good quality photos to prove condition - for higher agreed values they wanted a professional valuation. Not sure how much a valuation would cost - others here might know.

[ComfySofa]

Well i was thinking between 4 and 6K....does that sound about right?

[McCabe-Thiele (Ted)]

I went for the £6k on the 400,  my 500 is lower as it is not yet restored - be difficult to steal as I have only wheel hubs at the moment.

Ooo, do they now, they sound filthy!

Roo, I'm going to report you to Diabetes Anonymous if you don't behave!!

Depends on what type of customisation or restoration has been done to the bike. The nearer to stock, the greater the value. Without seeing the bike up close and personal, no one can put a true value on it. Just pick a figure and tell the insurance company, they'll argue with you if you claim, irrespective of what you think it's worth.

Right - well pretty well oem apart from the electrics and the handlebars. That being said ive got everything oem thats come off including all the bolts. I think i might have cut off one bullet connector from the dummy light cluster but thats about it for mods to the OEM...it could be put right back to standard if need be.

you won't be able to put it back to standard if its stolen or catches fire 😂😂😂😂

Well, wasnt for that reason...if ever i sold it all the oem stuff comes with it...just insured it...said 6k for the value. 50 quid but it had to be ground anchored...

[Oddjob]

I intend to store mine on the ramp, with the ramp raised in the air and with it disabled so it can't be lowered without removing locks etc, don't know how they'd stipulate a ground anchor with that setup.

[ComfySofa]

Well the endgame is that itll be used literally a few times per year in warm dry weather only so 99% of the time itll be at the back of the garage, anchored to the wall behind my RSV4. Now its almost completed i do want to give it a good clean....the engine cases were bead blasted so theyre bare....best thing to clean them with?

Chain the bike to the ramp, if the ramp is bolted to the floor it is a massive ground anchor.

I was thinking of putting fold down legs on the corners of the ramp, pumping it up and then dropping the legs and lowering the ramp until it was resting on the legs, that way if the hydraulic seal goes on the ramp it doesn't suddenly drop.

Is there not a safety latch / pin on the ramp?

[McCabe-Thiele (Ted)]

I use the locking pin on my ramp as per the instructions - two positions for the pin on mine. Just hide the pump pedal as you can't release the lock pin without a few pumps.👍👍
