Buying lots of Roadking parts............

[luke scott]

All parts were new in 2003. Bike was stripped and all these parts were replaced with custom painted parts. At last the owner has decided to sell them. I had wanted hard boxes for my Classic but by the time I would have bought and painted them it was becoming an expensive venture. So bought all of the bits in the picture. They are 2003 Anniversary parts, black and silver pinstripe. Transfering money to owners tomorrow and then wait for delivery.

Having serious second thoughts about buying this....... am I mad ? The cost is $1500 US dollars.

Yes, I would say you are...

Advice please

Is it desireable?

Only the panniers seem a bonus to me

Don't forget about the import taxes

 

[David Nimrod]

Well, do you want the stuff for your own bike (& if so, why?).

Or, do you want to sell it on..? (I'd check out prices on eBay).

David, thanks for asking these questions. Its helping me make my mind up. It was my intention to sell on any bits left over from the change over. But now I think that I should not do it.

Good call I reckon... it's just too much money.

Doesn't look like £1000 there, although i'm no expert and they might be imperfect too

the panniers and tank ,are worth some money ,. if your going to keep them ,its seems expensive ,when you factor in postage ,and duty etc ,the rest of the bits wont sell for much .
so i dont think its worth it ,seats and that dont really wear out ,and when they do people replace them with corbin ,etc,.

Thanks guys. Along with the comments you have made I decided not to buy. The seller wont be happy but it's not personal, I had started to think it was too much money for what it was. Again thanks for commenting.

You can usually factor in another 33% or so in duties/vat etc until they're finally yours.
