My local repair shop tells me the alternator (stator) on my 1993 ST1100A has gone bad and replacement costs for parts and the labor will be >$2000. Also, the ABS light has been blinking for a while and the error code indicates it's the front ABS pump. I've been living with the ABS light because I've not been able to source a replacement and the list price for a new pump is very, very expensive. It doesn't make sense for me to sink that much money into it to bring this bike back to life, even though it's given me so many great miles of riding.
It's possible that it could become a good project bike for someone but more likely it should just be parted out. I don't have the ability or time to do that myself, so I'd like to find someone to take it off my hands.
The first question I have for the good people of this forum is what is a reasonable price for me to ask for a non-running bike with these known problems? I have searched the forums here and with Google more generally but don't really see any examples of buy/sell offers for non-running bikes.
