Take a new pic with the bike dry. Adjust the levers up a little so they are more neutral. Take the stickers off and put some new shroud graphics on. You probably want to take the stickers off the front fender also. I sold my 80 a couple weeks ago for $1100. I had a lot of pics on craigslist with the bike clean and shiney, chain adjusted to spec, levers normal, etc. and I guy called a day after I posted it. He drove an hour and a half the day after that, looked at the bike and took it for a little ride, pulled out his wallet and handed us the 11 $100's. If someone is coming to look at yours, make EXTRA sure if it is in your garage that your garage is clean and hide anything that isn't well maintained/crappy looking. Set up a nice spot for the people to walk around and look at the bike, free of dirt. If you really want to sell the bike, spend some $$ to get it looking stock and nice. New plastics, grips, levers, bar, graphics, anything you can do to make it look good.
