1. wasn't sold through ebay - ebay ad is worthless?
2. he test drove and looked over bike , was also happy todo deal. - would make it sold as seen i presume? was this on reciept?
3. you have refunded a sum which he was happy to accept - i would have left it there.
4. you further refunded £500 -which he was also happy to accept. ( again above and beyond what most would have done )
5. he has stripped bike himself? if so is he a qualified tech? has he damaged it taking it apart?
6. private sale. sold as seen will apply as he was happy to drive it away.
7. let him try small claims court , if i were judging this you are seen to have done plenty to help and he was happy with the first refund which should have been case closed.

I'm no lawyer / judge but surely he not got a leg to stand on.

in my opinion dont offer any more refunds and wait to see what happens if anything. keep all the emails he has sent you as evidence he was happy.

Relax and good luck.
