Scootzilla for Sale!

My Dear friends,

It is with great sadness, that I must put my beloved Scootzilla Silverwing up for sale.
From what I remember it has under 40,000 miles on it.

I used to have a deal with a local dealership which gave me excellent repair prices, and a mechanic that was up on all my upgrades. The dealership was two miles from my house. I could ride the bike there, walk home, and pick it up when it was ready. Life was good. That dealership closed, the mechanic is gone, and breaking in a new mechanic at full prices at a dealership far from home is just not worth it to me.

I no longer do the grand touring thing and don’t need all the things I put on my bike for local use. One lucky person is going to be the proud owner of a 2003 Silverwing with unique one of a kind upgrades that you wont find anywhere else.
Asking price: $12,000 Why so high? Keep reading.

Here is a link to the thread with most of my upgrades on it:

That makes this bike worth over $14,000 with parts alone.
If you gathered together all of the parts above and asked most mechanics to install all of them at the same time, most would call you crazy. Those that would attempt the install, would call you a few other things when they started getting into it. Labor would be several thousand dollars without a doubt. Many things here are custom and required skilled subcontractors, such as welders.

So what’s wrong with the bike?
1. Tire pressure and Chargeguard displays were mounted but other wiring for these devices never properly finished.
2. There is a short somewhere.
3. You many need to buy a replacement remote control for the alarm.
4. Never could get the installed Headlight modulator to work properly with the Xenon headlights.
5. Some tabs are broken on front faring as a result of a mechanic that didn’t know how to install it properly after the upgrade to the Japanese Side Cowls.
6. That’s it. That’s all that’s wrong with it!

An enterprising person should be able to right the wrongs in short order and have an incredible bike.
The paint is good, the Windshield is good. The Garmin is good. What else would you like to know?

Terms are simple. Full amount on pickup, or full amount plus insured shipping costs prior to shipping.
The bike is located in Miami, FL. USA.
I am very well respected in this community will continue to support my friends here, so I have a reputation to protect. That is the only assurance I can give you that my statements are honest. That said, the bike is sold “as is”.

I would also be willing to trade for a DN-01.

Dan,

I'm sorry to see you selling your bike but I'm sure you will enjoy the DN-01. I hope you stay around all the boards you visit and contribute. Good luck.

That is an amazing list of extras!!! I'm sure you have worked so hard and made all those decisions and it will be very hard to part with your bike. Hope the next person is excited and appreciates all you have done with it.

Dan,

As someone who has benefitted from your efforts I wish you well.

I would add that your asking price obviously reflects the additions you've made to personalize the SilverWing to your taste. That last part about personalization is important as these additions were your choices and may not reflect the desires or personality of someone else. Additions by another name are alterations. In light of this I find your signature line telling - "Reality is irrelevant. Its perception that counts."

That said, I do indeed wish you well on selling the scooter. You've made good and useful contributions to the SilverWing community.

Thank You for your kind words Dale.

Well said ... I agree hole-heartedly.

Dan, I posted a short comment on the other SilverWing forum. I won't repeat here except to say that I will miss you and wish you the best. Keep us posted on the mods you add to your new project.

Dan,

Good luck on the new bike. I hope you sell your Swing for what you want for it. You sure got it fixed up nice from what I seen of it.
