$2000 for a broken unicorn triple tree
« on: November 04, 2023, 06:46:47 am »
I thought I have seen it all in my many years of sleuthing for parts but this one takes the cake. Outrageous!

This is from the same seller who many years ago bought a sandcast locally and switched the gauges (to show lower mileage) and promptly sold it on eBay. How do I know? Because I was also looking at buying the same bike.

No doubt! Last time he was here he took some pipes out of my scrap pile and promptly sold them for $50! Smarter than the rest of us?

His listing states   "These instruments/ guages are VGC"

I beg to differ!
