Hi , a very good friend of mine has passed away leaving a very nice, thoroughly rebuilt 4G which has had new Conrods,pistons , properly line bored new main bearings and numerous mods, including an oil filter. There is also a spare alloy rocker cover, and a spare Solex carburettor. I am helping and advising his family as to selling and would appreciate advice on possible values. I know the spare parts are both rare and quite valuable, any help would be greatly appreciated,thanks Ron .

I think the first question will be what do you have in the way of documentation for the work (receipts etc).
And someone's going to ask if there's a guarantee on the crankshaft sludge traps being cleaned out....

(Topic moved 'cos it's not really technical.)

Next question is where is it, and please show us some pictures!

The bike is stored in his factory unit,it was last run 4 months ago. All the engine machining work was done by Rob Cottrell of Clay Cross, Derbyshire, including the crank sludge traps,and machining of the rocker box to fit o rings- a procedure which Rob specialises in. I need to find the paperwork guarantees/receipts,and will post pics when next visiting the factory in a week's time, thanks.
