DON"T let them go for less than 500$$.

I ran a set on my KZ1000 and a BIG difference in performance!!
Look at WGcarbs.com  you'll see what they're worth!!

They are worth some coin, but are expensive to rebuild too. I traded some VM26's I rebuilt for a set of unseen smoothies and by the time I was done I could have bought new CR's for the money I had in them.

VM29 Smoothbores. Triumph brake. RR

Ricky_Racer
Accurate and concise on both counts;I like that. It looks like the rim is from a 1971-72 Trident. Do you think $80 is a fair price to ask for that wheel?
I'm thinking $475 with the rubber intakes would be a fair price for the Vm29 smoothbores. Do you agree?

Thank you Tews19 for opening the discussion and posting the picks for me! Thanks also to all that have helped identify!
