$699.00 Gas tank? You won't believe this !!!!!!!!!!!
« on: May 21, 2007, 06:46:49 PM »
OK so I'm still hunting for some parts for the kids 185 twinstar and I see this!

Apparently sand cast 750s are cheap compared to this build

Hmmm. When that is more than a whole bike would cost you've got to assume he is being a little optimistic. Perhaps the decimal point is in the wrong place?

It's not a regular auction.  He has it listed for "Best Offer" or the $700 Buy it Now option, probably keeping his fingers crossed for that one sucker who really, really wants it, but I have a feeling he'll accept way less than that in the end.  That is if he hasn't scared away most potential buyers with that ridiculous buy it now price.
