Riding with a "FOR SALE" sign on the windscreen.

Anyone? Tips? Advice? Suggestions?

alex.s · December 15th, 2014, 05:01 PM

Put it inside the windsreen. That's the way I've always seen it done.

Taped to the inside of the windscreen and always have a phone number of someone can give you a ride home.

I meant I need tips to keep it from flying off. How can I secure it? I will only leave my phone number and no price so they can call or text.

My windscreen is black so you cant see through it.

My bike will be parked outside the restaurant where I work so it will get lots of exposure.

Two of these to attach the sign to the outside of the windshield after you park the bike:

I have mine taped to the right hand side of the tank, it is hidden by my knee while riding, but is good exposure when parked.

Craigslist.

Also put a price otherwise nobody will bother.

Put a price, very few people will call or text you just to find out how much you're asking. If you put the price right on it, you know the only people that are contacting you are interested at the price listed.

Yeah, put it on after you park.

Use blue tape to put it on your windscreen or tank. Make a few extra copies in case the sign vanishes.

Phone number, price, maybe year. If you want to be fancy, include a little QR code that links to a generic spec website to give any basic info if someone wants to look it up.

get window chalk and put price and phone number on the windscreen.

I would just like to chime in saying if I saw a decent bike with a for sale sign but no price I wouldn't bother.

Standard fare. For Sale, price, phone number and a reasonable amount of info regarding any features/recent work done.
