That's nice bike you got there. Only thing I would change is the handle bars to something lower in profile. I imagine you put in some time and money into it. I've seen some of these customized Z's on CL going for good money in the $4,000 to $5,000 range. But I don't rightly know what they sold for, or if they sold at all. And I have seen some nice LTD's which are close to stock for $3,000 sit around for a long time. But the market is different in each area. So its hard to get specific. The fork issue will lower your asking price. Paint looks great, I really like it. But it will be more of a niche market within a niche group of enthusiast. So it may take awhile to find the right buyer.

Due to economy (ppl w/no $$$ for toys),geographical area you live, stock build (no upgraded performance components), rear white rim :S etc...

Somewhere around $2K definitely, possibly up to $3k with the right buyer...
Keep in mind, can get a fairly new - used ZX6 for that price these days.

Biggest hurdle in higher asking price is no engine performance/power upgrades.
Stock carbs, stock cams, stock displacement, no head work etc... equates to stock power.

Clean and all Buff the aluminum pieces would help as well....
