How a section to sell/trade parts & accessories for the XT1200Z. There may not much out there now, but pretty soon people are going to be buying and selling stuff for these bikes.
For Sale/Trade section?

What do you think Venture? A for sale area and a parts wanted area for registered users with a pre-defined minimum number of posts (maybe 50 or so) to prevent people from just signing up to post there?

The For Sale and Wanted sections have been added. Right now there is no minimum post count to post in the For Sale section, mainly because I need to set up a new permission profile to do so and I'm tired. 
Let's see how things go. Any other input let me know.

Thanks Venture. Maybe I was off in suggesting the minimum post count. You are right, try it out and see how it goes.

Thanks, very valuable section for a forum like this.
I've bought and sold a ton of stuff on advrider's "flea market". Their "rules" (which are put in a sticky thread at the top of the section) are copied below and seem to be reasonable and not too restrictive - a good model I think. I don't know what their rule is for how many posts before you can sell something (perhaps there isn't one), but I've seen it handled informally just by stating that you need to make five posts and/or be a member for a certain time length, and if the mods see a violation, they simply pull the ad. And I don't have an issue with a newbie selling something if they have something good to sell.
==============
Flea Market Rules V3.0
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The FM is for inmate to inmate sales only. All sales and trades etc are buyer beware.
If you see a problem click the "report this" link and we will look into it.
When an item is sold it helps us by putting in ***SOLD*** in the first line of the first post so we can mark your ad accordingly
Old ads get deleted every 30-45 days.
If you fail to meet the simple rules, the ad gets removed. We do not have time to point out each failed ad, so if your ad vanishes check the rules before re-posting.
If it is not yours, you cannot sell it here.
No outside links, ebay, craigslist, autotrader etc, if you mention it and just don't post the link we will treat it the same and remove the thread.
No price in title, if you put a price in the title we will just nuke the thread. Only mods can change the title of a thread so think before posting.
Each ad needs location and price, pics are optional but your ad will be much better if they have them. Attachments are wonky it may work, but it may not, better to host from an online photo site like smugmug.
Here is how you do it.
No bumping your thread within 5 days, we may remove the bump or we may remove the entire thread.
Multi item sales (3 or more of the same item) go in vendors, if we find one it is gone. We have a vendors forum.
Spam -this gets nuked and you get banned
No posting of PMs or private info - instant ban
No firearms or related items allowed, this includes illegal weapons of course.
This is not JM, JM type posts will be removed and the inmate will be banned
Lets keep it nice and about the sale. Helping each other out vs. making a profit is what this is about.
Remember this place is free of charge so if you sell something, don't forget the donate button to keep it going.
